Fashion at American High Schools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crocs; school spirit days; red, white, and blue. For nearly all high school students\u2014American high school students\u2014, the words in this collage should feel casual. But the familiarity of such ideas does not hold true for all high school students. For instance, Federica Ronzitti, a graduated Educatius international student from Italy, expressed that, \u201cExchange students\u2026found weird costumes\u2014especially for spirit weeks\u2014 [to be some of the strangest outfits worn by traditionally American students]\u201d. Her initial foreignism to spirit days became apparent after the first few minutes of our interview. Caroline Spriet, a French international student from Educatius, wrote that, \u201cFor me it was strange to see every teen wearing Crocs\u2026because in my country, we almost never wear this in public.\u201d Another example observed, of the peculiarity of an \u201cAmericanism\u201d to international students. This brings us to our final words in the collage: red, white, and blue. Naturally, these words are tailored towards American high school students, or Americans in general, as they represent the colors of our country\u2019s flag. However, I point these words out not to accentuate the peculiarities of American culture in comparison to the cultures of international students. Rather, I do so in order to express the similarities. Both Ms. Ronzitti and Ms. Spriet mentioned the colors of their countries (green, white, and red; and blue\u2014respectively) in response to the question: \u201cWhat are some meaningful colors to you?\u201d Ms. Spriet wrote that, \u201cIn my country, blue is a meaningful color because blue is represented in the French flag (blue-white-red). We can see this color in a lot of sports uniforms such as soccer, rugby, handball\u2026 Every sport that represents France wears blue. We call this blue \u2018national blue\u2019. \u201d Through both of their responses, we can find familiarity in the importance of patriotism\u2014and find comfort in the non-conformity of those (international students) who have returned from their travels abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, it\u2019s important to note that the practice of fashion, as a whole, is a method of sharing some of the best quirks of a culture. While I stressed the importance of \u201cnon-conformity\u201d in relation to patriotism, I also will note the beauty in intrigue. To finish Ms. Spriet\u2019s previous quote about Crocs, she wrote, \u201cI saw people wearing Crocs everywhere at the mall, grocery store, school\u2026But after 3 months I liked them.\u201d Her eventual appreciation for the \u201cworld-renowned\u201d symbol of casualty only adds to this beauty. Ms. Ronzitti quips, \u201cI really like Gucci style\u2014even if I don\u2019t wear them.\u201d Once again, we can observe the beautiful impact of culturally foreign fashion on international students, while not observing the practice of conformity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
