With Georgia’s ever-changing weather, the warm yet chilly days still brought out some of the trendier looks from Northview students. During the wintertime, wearing more comfortable clothes is key, and junior Noreen Ali is striving to make her outfits more comfortable while still looking her best.

“I don’t love standing out too much, but rather looking my best with minimal effort,” Ali said. 

Fall and winter are Ali’s favorite seasons to dress with neutral colors for an overall more comfy style of clothing. Making simple outfits look cute is how Ali would describe most of her outfits. 

Ali pairs minimal pieces that combine a subtly conservative look with pastel colors along with small accents of jewelry.

Fashion has always been an interest to Ali, and she uses it as a form of self-expression. She loves how clothes can differentiate yourself from others. Ali wants to challenge herself when it comes to her choices of clothing to make it more appealing to her. She wishes to be comfortable at all times no matter what she is wearing, so she doesn’t feel like she has to change. Ali also emphasizes that being all dressed up isn’t the only way to look good, but rather keeping it simple and casual can still make you look at your best. 

“Even if I don’t always wear the most dressed up outfits, being put together boosts my confidence level and excitement for the day,” Ali said.
