If you go into the halls during the fall and winter seasons, you’ll notice how every guy is wearing pretty similar clothes: the same pair of sweatpants with a hoodie, and maybe, if you’re lucky, a nice pair of shoes to go along with it. It comes down to the fact that men’s style is hard to be good at.

One reason is the money. If you want good, nice-quality clothing made for men, it’s going to be more than a cheap penny. Compare the company Shein for example. Women’s clothes on Shein are cheap, and for how much you pay, they’re pretty decent quality. When you move over to men’s clothing, it’s a whole different story. All of the clothing looks the same, and while cheap, the quality is terrible.  Awful material and even worse repetitive types of styles make it hard to get a good outfit that doesn’t look like everything else in your closet. 

Another example is the types of variety men have when it comes to clothing. Looking into women’s fashion they have tons of different things they can use to elevate their fashion. Items like skirts, dresses, crop tops, and fancy unique shoes like high heels.  While men have items such as crewnecks, sweatshirts, and certain types of pants like cargo in which most cases can be used by both genders.

Coming from the personal side of things, my style has changed and grown throughout the years of being in high school. When people find the style they enjoy and love, it not only can be a nice hobby, but it can help grow their confidence and help them find who they are in highschool. 

So if you catch yourself finding the same clothes every day or pretty similar types of clothing, I challenge you to sit down and try to find some clothing that fits who you are as a person. Not only will your confidence boost, but your whole attitude and how you look at yourself will be greater and stronger.
