Campus Threads - April 5

First impressions are crucial. It takes the average person 10 seconds to form an opinion about someone, and this is mostly based on physical appearance. Naturally, what a person wears has a huge effect on first impressions. On this level, clothing choice is important.

Let’s be honest. Fashion doesn’t actually matter. It isn’t going to end world hunger, or bring about peace on earth, or any other goal of Miss America contestants. It’s just a manufactured desire, heightened by our innate proclivity to copy one another, as well as our need to find a mate.

On a more personal note, my current style came about when I got a job that required a more “grown-up” wardrobe. Also it was the desire to be taken more seriously because, when you have green hair, wear neon pink tights, combat boots, a Lucky Charms hoodie and a tutu, no one takes you seriously. Yes, that is my awkward ensemble past. Fashion has always been an outlet for my artistic tendencies, but I have since realized the importance of adult attire.

So, while fashion isn’t a life changing, earth-shattering subject, you never know who is looking. You don’t want to be passed over for something because you look like a hobo. What does your style say about you?

Campus Threads is having a makeover contest! The winner will receive an outfit makeover, courtesy of the Breeze. Email a short paragraph describing your current style and the look you would like to achieve to thebreeze@chaffey.edu by April 16. You may enter yourself or nominate a friend. Check out next issue’s Campus Threads for updates.
