The Chant’s fashion blast from the past
October 3, 2016
The Chant staff draws inspiration from their favorite childhood TV shows for their fall outfit inspiration. With vibrant colors, fun hairstyles, and a multitude of characters to choose from, the staff aims to channel their inner child with their “blast from the past” fashion sense.
Show: Wizards of Waverly Place
Characters: Alex Russo and Harper Finkle, best friends
Must-haves: colored scarves, fun headbands, a ”crazy funky junky” hat
Style icons and seniors Autumn Boekeloo and Melissa Sagaseta take outfit inspiration from best friends Alex and Harper. With a brightly colored scarf draped around her neck, Autumn reflects Alex’s “cool-girl” style perfectly. Adorning a slightly more eclectic outfit, Melissa wears a gold streamer headpiece and brightly colored t-shirt.
Show: Kim Possible
Character: Kim Possible, secret agent
Must-haves: Green pants, combat boots
Senior Kat Shambaugh modernizes Kim Possible using sheer tights, army green shorts, and a black tank top, modeling Kim’s iconic black and green color scheme. Already possessing red hair like Kim’s, Kat’s recreation of this secret agent appears spot-on.
Show: iCarly
Character: Sam Puckett
Must-haves: flannel jacket
Sophomore Rachel Maxwell reflects Sam Puckett’s fun and spunky style with an open flannel shirt, a staple in Sam’s closet. With her hot pink hair, Rachel adds her own special touch.
Show: Victorious
Character: Cat Valentine
Must-haves: brightly colored/fun top
Sophomore Bahaar Esfahani gives the camera all smiles while wearing a hot pink peplum top and light blue ombre jeans. Sporting a more day-to-day wearable outfit of Cat’s, this bright and fun outfit perfectly encapsulates Cat’s iconic style.
Show: Hannah Montana
Characters: Hannah Montana, Lilly “Lola” Truscott, best friends
Must-haves: white vest, brightly colored tank top, jeans, sneakers, belt
Best friends and seniors Denise Thomas and Mackenzie Union channel their inner Hannah and Lola with light jeans and bright shirts. Denise sports a tie-dye turquoise tank top and bright white jeans, a sure-favorite in Hannah’s everyday closet. Wearing a yellow t-shirt and white vest, Mackenzie mimics Lola’s style to a tee.
Using bright colors and patterns provides a breath of fresh air among the sea of traditional autumnal dark reds, greens, and browns. If stumped on what to wear, perhaps try taking style inspiration from an iconic figure and get the best of both worlds.
