Dress for Comrades

I'm generous enough to chew a bone with you, in fact its a bond of contention.
My dress my choice jingles and calls had been trending a season ago and amongst comrades the jibes were loudest, the late Senior Counsel and Senator Mutula had his say raise controversy. And from high school to college the most outstanding identity marker is the dress code. Our share ,our heart, our soul for share,dressing in campus.
Lie not, how much did you raise and save for clothing when you were joining the varsity team? Were it not that the sponsors ,parents and wellwishers had a hand into your budget allocation, you won't have met the minimum requirements! However the best part was that the kind of clothes your interest banked on were the expensive boutique pieces. Your thirst was joked with since your needs were partially dealt with. For the he fellows it is never that big affair till...
And now that nobody cares about your looks, sampling all the fancy dresses and hairstyles and shoes and make-ups and what else!!! All the smells in the universe, all the looks, all the walking styles,alll the sways and crawling around are at your disposal! What matters most is to sample!
What clicks to your mind when that tumbo cut is combined with a micro miniskirt and pen sized heels as a lady struggles to rush for a late class,face looks ashy and the outdated afro hair heavier than the head, oversized googles, blood red lips and did I mention the smell of the deodorant and the nail size,and the the gait in rush? My dress my choice!
Gents have a reasonably well nurtured dress,save for a few upcoming trends of very baggy jeans and skinnies. Why on earth would decide on putting a class eight's pair of pants? Fitting is the ideal trend but super micro fitting is not a man's affair. Who wants to see those funny manly bodies and irregular shapes? Then why should one put on a set of clothes equivalent of blankets and sheets? The last punch on men, why is it necessary to sag the pants if at all the anal diseases are not upon you and you are straight (whatever it means!).
Smart,decent,recent, classy,sassy, up to date,trendy, fashion conscious among others are the words associated with the campus generation but I believe it would strike attention if we drop the fashionista tendencies anyhowly. I tend to believe that fashion entails remaining relevant, decent and presentable in all the settings and situations. Unless you are a model or a fashion designer, you have no business in fancy and funny attires. You are a scholar,and intellect, show it by the appearance!
