Pushing the desks aside and gathering everyone into the center of FACs teacher Ms. Abigail Brosseau’s classroom, Molly Dolatowski, senior and treasurer, with the help of Juliette Dixon, senior and club president, led the new Fashion Club in a game of “This or That” at their first meeting Sept. 19.
Two fashion choices were presented on the classroom Promethean board, and the 44 members that attended the meeting went to the side of the room that corresponded with the fashion choice they preferred. The game featured several categorized questions, including types of shoes, clothing brands, and color schemes, that caused close split-ups between the participants. However, the fall fashion questions seemed to have the strongest majority consensus.
This or that fall fashion results:
- All participants preferred sweaters over tank tops
- 5 participants preferred leather jackets over jean jackets
- 17 participants preferred jeans over sweatpants
- All except for one participant preferred a zip up over a flannel
Attending the meeting, Lucia Salazar, junior, finds that fall fashion trends seem to stay constant year by year and follow an unchangeable pattern of colors and styles in contrast to other seasons.
“Each year, the fall trends always consist of the same sweaters, flare leggings, jeans,” Lucia said. “It’s always the same colors like burgundy and browns, but spring and summer colors seem to change more often with the trends.”
Sarah Bananzek, senior, also finds fall fashion to be unique in the fact that more warmer shades are worn compared to other seasons.
“Fall is probably my favorite season in terms of fashion,” Sarah said. “I love wearing sweaters and jeans. It’s the most comfortable season to dress for with the warm and cozier tones.”
Personal Picks: fashion club leaders share their favorite fall clothing pieces
Zip-Up Jacket
“I love the fall because the weather gets colder and it is easier for me to pick out outfits” Tony Rotatori, junior and club social media manager, said. “A zip-up can keep me warm in the colder fall weather, but also is removable.”
Leggings
“I always wear leggings, but for fall they are perfect for the weather,” Addy Obrien, senior and club vice president, said. “It is kind of warm outside, but still a little chilly. So, leggings are light yet you still have coverage”
Uggs
“Uggs, especially my Platform Tasmans, go well with everything” Teodora Svilar, junior and club secretary, said. “The brown shoe matches the fall color palette.
