“Free Dress” days are days designated for students to not wear uniform — but some students say the days come at the cost of promoting materialism.
Students at Communication & Media Arts High School tend to display trends at social gatherings and outfits and accessories are often the topic of discussion after the event.
“Name brand items are praised and acknowledged,” said sophomore Lydia Owens.
Senior Carloes Crumpton agrees.
“At the age of 13 name brand items became important to me in which I purchased my first pair of Gucci shoes and belt,” said Crumpton.
However, there is often a big discussion regarding what is popular and outdated with clothing choices.
“Free Dress” enables students to be able to express themselves with their clothing choices but it’s often a challenge with the expectations set by the student body.
Though many say that it is all for fun, some students have different opinions.
“I feel that people purchase name brand clothing to prove that they have the money to buy it,” said sophomore Lydia Owens.
It is the topic of many conversations throughout the school and social media regarding importance and worth.
