OK, I’m no fashion genius. I still own a pair of Birkenstocks, they are rather comfy. But I do spend a lot of time around high school folk and I notice things. One thing I notice is that they like to text, listen to ipods and cuss a lot. But that isn’t what this post is about. This post is about fashion.

Neon is an up-and-coming color for shirts these days. Also simple geometric designs or simple lines. Simply take a nice soft shirt, draw some lines or things you can do in Microsoft Word or even that "Paint" program that came in the 386 computers, add some neon colors and BANG… Instant cool. Add a YL logo and BANG… Camp t-shirt.

(All these shirts can be found HERE)

OK, this might be old news for some of you, but belts are important these days. They are a fashion statement a way to show some style. In case you wear a belt like this:

You may want to consider an upgrade… everyones doin’ it.

This is your standard studded belt. Pretty much every 16 year old boy has at least one of these.

I wasn’t a big fan of the studded one. So I decided to go with this one. My club kids helped me pick it out at Pac Sun.

It is a little more interesting than the studded one. Also it is a neutral color so I can wear it with a lot of clothes, which is good because I only plan on buying one “cool” belt. It is too expensive to buy “cool” stuff all the time.

Do you have a cool belt? If you are under 25 you probably already have a couple. If you are 25-25 you should get one. If you are over 35 it might look like you are trying too hard to fit in.
