Well, the topic I am doing for the trends essay is how many guys are starting to blur the lines between fashion for each gender. For example, guys wearing skinny jeans, make-up, or anything else not viewed as "the norm" in society.
So far, I've found a great article at the New York Times, which tells about this, and how different people seem to react to these new trends (sending kids home from school, or adults and students being more accepting of trends and looks some teens may want to try out, or like). Also, a lot of the major changes guys make in their own personal fashion don't actually come until high school. This is also the age where classmates seem to be more accepting of others looks. Another thing is that a lot of schools don't always know what to do, concerning personal fashion and the dress code. For example, if they tell a guy to not wear make-up, would that be harassment or protection against harassment from students who might tease him? It's a pretty interesting topic.
That does sound like a very interesting topic! It's going to be very exciting to see where some of this stuff leads you. You could end up accepting guys in skinny jeans! Haha, maybe not that much understanding, but you never know ;)
