Marco is slowly being introduced as this coveted cool guy. And honestly his clothes are and continue to be a breath of fresh air compared to some of the other dudes. For this little B plot to go alongside Manny’s disastrous date, Ellie is over here having a secret crush on Marco. This first photo, though distant and blurry, I had to include because Marco is wearing more flared jeans, cuffed to reveal these shoes that I think are some kind of like, I want to say soccer shoes, but soccer shoes are cleats… I don’t know, these are on the tip of my tongue. Are they Pumas? Anyway he wears a beige graphic tee, a necklace, and earrings including his cartilage. Next he’s seen in a yellow windbreaker vest over a grey tee.

Ashley is over here with a reddened vampire pixie cut and wears that mesh shirt that reminds me of spiderwebs. Over it she’s got what looks to be a tank with corset fastening on the front. Then she’s wearing another black top with a sort of ruffled collar hem. She wears light coverage makeup of a dark hue.

Ellie is just over here being cool af, smiling approvingly at PMS’s performance, wearing an elaborate hairstyle and what looks to be a leather vest with a choker. Then she praises them in person at school the next day, wearing a spikey necklace and black mesh top, with some pigtail kinda hair.

Terri is only here for the tea in this episode. She’s got her hair clipped up, hoop earrings, a peasant blouse, and an athletic zip up hoodie. Not the cutest match, but realistic.

As this is a Paige episode, and as Paige is a 2000s fashion queen, I’ve got a lot to show you today. This episode is a whopper but we’re going to try to keep it light, for the sake of fashion, despite the importance and gravity of this episode’s themes. We kick off with Paige in her cheer uniform and a curled ponytail. Then, this next ‘fit is one of my favorites. A white crocheted headband, blue shades, hoops, a baby blue cropped sleeveless polo with like, grommets along the neckline, and a denim miniskirt with yet more grommets. This is just elegant af. Next is the party outfit. She gets those tall strappy silver stilettos and wears an all brown getup – a brown off-the shoulder ruffly blouse and a brown pencil skirt, hair all done and everything. As iconic as the outfit is, it was hard to capture in the dark and crowded party. The next day, she wears MORE brown. These brown cropped pants have a shimmer to them, and the brown shirt is a 3/4 sleeve. She wears it all with black platforms, way before black + brown was considered acceptable. She really looks beautiful despite what she’s going through. And for some reason, this jarring all-brown-everything look is actually, pleasing to the eyes? Like a Hershey bar.

First Ellie is sporting an elaborate purplish braided updo, with frosty eyeshadow, dark lips, a bellybutton ring, denim skirt, a black vest thing over a grey tee and mesh long sleeves, knee-high socks, and chunky shoes. Oh yeah and a close up of this triple-buckle grommeted belt accenting that low-rise skirt. People are so quick to call her “goth” but she’s so different than goth. Her style is really unique, I love it. She gets her cartilage pierced like it was nothing and goes along on her way. Next, is El in RED. I hate when people say redheads shouldn’t wear red or pink. Because I LIVE for it. This getup is bomb. A red flare-sleeve shirt under a black tank, plaid skirt, spiked necklace, and another braided updo. I adore this!

Dude, I love this episode. I love both the A plot and the B plot. AND I just realized that this is Ashley’s actual blossoming into a goth goddess. We’ve seen hints of it approaching, but since the last episode she has chopped her hair off and is now dressed as a full queen. It’s interesting because, you can tell that independently, Ashley was feeling dark. But then it’s like, when she met Ellie, Ashley really let her goth flag fly. And forgive me for rambling, as someone who feels Ashley is a kindred spirit. But I totally understand Ashley, not only in her real natural inclination to the dark side, but also her need to compensate where she feels insecure still, especially around seasoned alt-girl Ellie. Ellie on the other hand isn’t trying to impress Ashley or anyone. But anyway, this is our first Degrassi goth since Faith of DJH, and I welcome her with open arms.

Ashley wears a short do and long nails; black choker and hoop earrings; black netted top and black skirt; chunky black shoes. The situation here is that Ashley wants to get a piercing for street cred to be a comparable friend to Ellie. The next day, she wears a dark cardi over yet another black ensemble. This pencil skirt has lacing down the front which I love. I had one just like it. She’s got another majestic choker on today, along with frosty blue eyeshadow and some dark lip gloss. And then of course she has an embarrassing bailout on the piercing table. Her fear of needles was stronger than her desire for clout.

And welcome to Ashley’s official goth stage. I hate to call it a phase. Even though eventually she evolves into more of a rocker type, I don’t think that is a betrayal of her goth/alt roots. They’re still there, but sometimes it’s just more practical to tone it down a bit. I don’t doubt her sincerity as a goth, even though it doesn’t last forever. And I really really enjoy it. It’s rather jarring, especially toward the end of season 2. Jarringly majestic. (Majestic being the word that I will overuse to describe her elegance.)

I rounded up a good bit is miscellaneous shots this time! My god, this “kick me” sign is hilarious, that’s one gag I’ve just thought was funny my whole entire life. And I’m so glad they made the choice to add this little detail in here. Next, this kid is seriously wearing a KD shirt. I’ve learned so much about Canadian culture and their love for boxed mac n’ cheese, AKA Kraft Dinner. They love it so much, they hang it on their wall and wear it on their clothes. I thought we liked it here in the US but no, it’s an actual icon in Canada. Next is this open-back top. I remember when these came out. They were all the rage and you just had to have them. Plus, they didn’t break dress code because no bra would show. It’s so funny now; they were just super cheap tee shirt material with a cutout and tie. Next, is this sunshine girl in Spinner’s locker, wearing a red string bikini. She actually looks pretty 90s. Then we see the crowd at the science fair, getting many great examples of typical average 2000s middle school fashion. Then we have a girl in the caf wearing low rise pants and a pale top which is probably another one of those open-back shirts. It is just amazing how tight our clothes used to be. It’s almost hard to look at now. It’s like, our entire bodies were just on display. No shame of course, but like, that’s freakin tight and looks uncomf to boot. Next is someone wearing a long denim skirt with a frayed hem, and platform mules. Then we have a look at some gals and dudes laughing in the classroom, and finally we wrap up this post with a full shot of the class, right before Spinner’s boner strikes fear into the hearts of all.

Paige instigates a boner in Kwan’s class. She wears her hair clipped half back, a blue tee with a pattern on it and ruffled hems, belted cropped khakis, and black platform mules. This is a great look.
