Pressure of having to look good around campus

By: Promise Matlala

Having to look good every day is one of the most difficult challenge that students face each and every day, students try by all means to look fancy in order to impress their follow students or for that matter trying to fit in, this puts pressure on the students who are mostly always alone when they have to try and fit in.

Students even go extra an mile just to own fashionable clothes, forgetting that it is more about being comfortable in your own skin, being proud of who you are. Having sense of fashion basically means, someone who is stylish can describe polite or elegant manner, this is determined by how students look and dress in their daily bases at campus.

Fashion is also another way of expressing your emotions, as you attract people through the colours of your clothes, looking good is often not about looks only it is about the style that you put together in your clothes and to create this distinct look. Students often put together different styles of clothes and making them work together to give students the greatest look. It is not the case of going to different magazines to look for fashion, after all fashion is everywhere.

One of the students’ Karabo Masehla is one of the well-known good looking students at Rosebank College, she feels that her world is ruled by her looks, the clothes that she wear every day. “Looking good and wearing beautiful clothes was never a qualification that I had to study, nor my skill or hobby. growing up, I loved looking good and playing with my clothes, many people thought that I have many clothes but the truth of matter is that I don’t, I normally play around with my clothes, putting different styles together maybe in a week or so” Karabo said.

The young lady told RC BEATS repoter that fashion is about having a very creative eye that no one has, thinking outside the box and being a ‘CREATIVE MONSTER’, as she explains. “I was never told, on how to be guru in fashion looks, instead I became my own stylist, my own role model. The fact that all of my sisters are beautiful and look good really puts me under a lot of pressure and ended up pulling my socks and became who I am today” Karabo said.

Having a very good sense of fashion requires you, to be motivated and doing research on current trending clothes and putting them together and creating a very fashionable, sensible style. For that not only students but everyone can be as good looking as they want and feel good at all times.
