Stylin' at JIB

High school is usually the time in a students life where they start to realize that the way one dresses says a lot about their personality. Some of the most fashionable men in our school were asked questions about fall their fall clothing choices this week and this is what they had to say:

Senior Robert Beauchamp says that he dresses nicely to make a good impression of himself on others. Robert enjoys dressing neatly for personal appeal and his preferred brand of clothing is H and M. He also went on to say that he prefers to dress for fall. 



Another senior, Jon Blackwell, said that he dresses up for self motivation. When he was asked if anyone influenced his style, his answer was that when he was a freshman in high school, he saw how the seniors dressed and just basically mimicked them. Jon's preferred brand is Calvin Klein. He also prefers fall wear and believes joggers and vans are in style as of late.


Tyree, who is a freshman at J. I. Burton, says that he dresses up for both his girlfriend and his own personal enjoyment. Tyree started dressing up in the fifth grade, his preferred brand is Stussey, and he likes dressing for both summer and fall. He said that he dresses to impress, and that he thinks sweaters are in style the season.


Sophomore Brandon Gilliam had some similar responses, but unique ones as well. He stated that the reason he dresses nice everyday is simply because he wants to look and feel good. Brandon's favorite brand, as far as dress clothes, is American Eagle, a common, but good looking choice among teenagers in high school. As far as pants go, he prefers khaki pants. Brandon prefers to dress for fall over summer. When asked what he thinks is in style, he replied, "I think vans, khakis, and button up shirts are in style."


Corey Ball, who is a sophomore, was the last chosen student to be interviewed about his preferred style of clothing. He motivates himself everyday to dress nicely to impress others. He began to dress in a stylish manner in the 5th grade, and enjoys dressing the way he does. His favorite brands consist of Ralph Lauren and Brixton apparel. He prefers to dress for Fall. When it comes to shoes, his favorite type is a brand known as Clarks. He has no order in which he puts together his outfit. His idea of today's style is rolled up jeans, a button up shirt, and a sweater over top.

The last person who was asked these questions was one of John I. Burton's math teacher, Mr. Robert Fultz. The reason he dresses the way he does everyday is to simply not look like a bum. His first job was his motivation to wear nice outfits daily. He prefers to wear Stafford Shirts and Express ties. He prefers to wear jeans when it comes to the pants category and prefers Rockport shoes for his outfit. Mr. Fultz likes to dress for summer and has no certain order in which he dresses. Meaning he decides when he wakes up every morning before work. His last statement was that he likes to dress to make an impression and for himself.
