i can understand fashion trends... and i can understand laziness (really i was wearing my husbands sweat pants for the majority of the morning), but what i can't understand is if you're walking around UT's campus, and at any given cross walk you can point out 12 girls that are wearing a variant of your exact outfit. Honestly the "well her shirt is green, and my shorts are black" will only get you so far, because with the number of girls dressing this way, sheer numbers come into play and there is probably another girl (or 7) with your exact outfit. In fact i didn't even notice this... but there are TWO GIRLS in that photo with the same outfit on. that second one was by accident! Maybe this trend spawned out of the conundrum of "what do i do with all these lame ass t-shirts i keep getting for free?" There are several correct answers to that question: donate them, do yard work in them, wear them under sweatshirts, pj's, give them to your boyfriend, etc. none of those answers are wear them every single day with athletic shorts. If this trend spawned out of laziness.. i can't quite buy that either. Because it honestly takes just as much effort to pull on a pair of jeans, and a shirt that fits you, as it does to pull on what she's wearing. And if it's a comfort thing.... when did jeans and a t-shirt (that fits) become uncomfortable? i thought that was like the epitome of comfort. which means this trend honestly started by someone (probably a sorority girl) thinking that this look was cute. ew. It is NOT cute to look like you're going to or just came from working out all the time. And if another girl in class decides to wear a sun dress, or well fitting jeans and t-shirt.... boys will probably notice them more. Your baggy tshirt is not as flattering as you might think.
so please all girls on campus. STOP LOOKING GENARIC. put on some jeans and a flattering top. you can even keep wearing your top siders (as long as it goes with the out fit somewhat). it takes just as much effort, and you look a whole lot better.
