Some fashion trends at SMS that have been going around this year are 501’s, Pro Clubs, acrylic nails, Gap sweaters, and Adidas Superstars. Let’s
learn more about these trends.
501’s are more popular with the boys. It’s what they all wear. They have been trending since last school year. “They look good with anything and are comfortable,” according to eighth grader Christopher Collin. Eighth grader Addam Levi De Hoyos says, “ 501s are popular too because they are baggy.”
Pro Club still is the most popular brand at our school although it is against the dress code. People still wear it. A lot of people at SMS think they should not be against the dress code. (Editor’s Note: See our dress code article, coming soon.)
Another popular fashion trend is Gap sweaters. The colors that are worn most are gray, dark blue, and red . “I like Gap sweaters because they come in different colors and are very soft,” says Abril Hernandez, seventh grader. Another seventh grader, Jasmin Avlia, thinks the same adding that “Gap sweaters are very trending right now in school and they look so good with leggings.”
Next is Adidas Superstar shoes. I’m pretty sure you have seen people wear them, including me. These shoes are famous. Julian Hernadez says, “They are comfortable and the color goes good with anything, but their prices have gone up due to everyone getting them.” Lionel Arredondo, eighth grader says, “Superstar Adidas have been around for a while; they look good especially with Pro Club sweatpants.”
Lastly, let’s talk about acrylic nails. Acrylic nails are popular everywhere now, not only at SMS. “Acrylic nails look so good and last one month which is a lot,” says Brianna Alexandra, eighth grader. Emelly Perlera-Menjivar agrees but adds that “Acrylic nails are cute but they could be pricey. It also depends on your nail tech.” At SMS we have two great nail techs, Abril Hernandez and Rachel Lopez, both with graders. They are very respected.
Well, to sum it up, these are the fashion trends at Sepulveda Middle School in the Spring of 2024.
