 HCC is a commuter school, and people from all walks of life are bound to attend.  As a result we are exposed to fashion on many different levels from the hippest, and chic, to the most daring, wild and crazy.  From the latest fashion trends like skinny jeans, fitted t-shirts and gladiator sandals, to questionable fashion decisions like “hoochie-mama” shorts, wearing pajamas to class, and (gasp) high heels on campus. You name it and an HCC student has seen or worn it.  We interviewed students at the Ybor campus to create a guide of college fashion, and to gain a perspective on Fashion DO’S and Fashion DONT’S. 

Many students agree that the biggest fashion DON’T was showing underwear, male or female.  From bra straps to underwear peeking through saggy jeans, if you’re in violation of this fashion DON’T, get the right bra and pull up those pants.  Mikala Worten, 20, has the following advice for fellow students, “know that the way you dress shows the way you think,” she said.  Other students believe comfort is their number one thought when getting dressed for class.  “Wear what makes you feel good,” said Cindy Bellows, 23, a Radio and T.V. major. 

Nicole Reed, 28, a Nursing major, got our attention with a hot pink mini skirt and high heels.  “I hate wearing flip flops,” said Reed, when asked her about her fashion decision.  We received much advice from a variety of students.  Here are some DO’S and DONT’S of College Fashion, offered by students for students:
