There are multiple fashion styles out there.

There are all kinds of looks among young kids and Bronx High School of Business has them all – or, at least, we have the best ones. We recently trolled the schools’ hallways to see how big a variety exists – and how many different styles we could discover. We came up with a list we think captures the essence of the looks of BHSB. 

We have High Fashion and Old Fashioned. We’ve got Casual, but Elegant and just plain Don’t Care. We’d never call anyone nerdy, but we do have a Studious set. We explain these because they were the most common looks and styles here in the Taft building.

But we also want to stress that everybody is unique and different in their own weird, normal way...


Be sure to also scroll down to "Joe-Joe's Perspective"
following the style categories

Don’t Care: Anything you “throw on”…

Some people look like they don’t care about their outfit, but they actually do. They just want to give the impression that they don’t care. Don't be fooled.

Some “Don’t Cares” wear just sweat pants and a T-shirt. Others wear boots with baggy jeans and a nice shirt. It’s all for image.

There are those who take the “Don’t Care” look very seriously. In fact, they might really not care. For them, sandals and socks can usually be worn too. The socks would be regular, and may or may not be colorful. These people would also wear Nike or Adidas sandals.

Basically, anything you throw on would be considered “Don’t Care.”


Studious: A Nerd or Geek who can be cool…

Studious means a studier, and that is basically nerdy and geekish. Your typical nerd on television would wear glasses and have braces. But in real life, nerds dress like regular people. For example, they wear belts, and may have glasses, button down shirts, and running shoes or some random Nikes.

Nerds also wear a lot of hats. All that said, there are some cute, nice-dressing nerds and geeks. Some can wear Air Jordans and expensive belts. { not to be a hypocrite} Having style is having a good healthy look. To be honest, nerds are cool people.

Old Fashioned: A 1990s look for some…

Some people like the olden days, so they dress as if they were “back-in-the-day.” Some wear bootcut or baggy jeans with a long baggy shirt and a bandana, sweat-band or head-band.
Some do certain hairstyles that look like they’re from the 1990’s. Examples are curly Afro, two buns or two high pony tails. Wearing colorful colors are also from the old times – especially bright colors like pink, yellow, green, orange and blue. Being old fashioned is good too because that’s when fashion was at its best and people started to show their true colors. That was good.

Casual, but Elegant: Best if everyone dressed this way…

People who like to dress nice, but casual is the best because if anything pops up – perhaps they have a party to attend — they won’t be looking bummy. This look is additionally good because people are neither overdressed nor bummy.

To be honest, we think it would be best if everyone dressed as Casual, but Elegant so, this way, everyone can be prepared. We know a lot of people who decide to dress either overboard or bummy. We also know they end up having a big problem when they have a plan that popped up out of nowhere.

That’s why Casual, but Elegant is the best way to dress.

You're simply always prepared to deal with the unexpected!



High Fashion: Looking classy…

High fashion is wearing expensive brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, Armani, Bape, True Religion and Canadian Goose. These are some high-end fashion lines that are good looking and really expensive.

Most of our national population wears these brands and rocks these brands. Some of the brands may cost $100, or $200, or even $400. When you wear these things, you put a name out for yourself like, “Damn, I got money," or like, “I look popping.”








Joe-Joe’s Perspective

All fashion aside, people shouldn’t care what anybody has to say about you and what you wear. Dress as yourself and in what you want. No matter what, you'll still look good with anything you wear. WINK!!!!!!!

My style is very, very different from those we highlight here. I’m like a “different breed,” because I love to be original. I could try to explain my unexplainable fashion. But I’m always looking wavy – no matter what. If pressed, I'd say my style is a combination of “Don’t Care,” “Studious,” “Old fashioned,” “Causal, but Elegant” and “High fashion.”  These styles are what help me look my best. I’m the “bomb,” but I’ve explained all these styles so you guys – our readers – can at least get some understanding of my style and my school style.
