I would describe Ashley’s style these days as “intentional but illogical”. I mean, there are textures and layers and thoughts behind what she’s doing but it just doesn’t feel cohesive to me, nor descriptive of who she is. The first outfit is a ringer tee with a grey casual blazer and jeans. She’s still wearing that short, choppy hairstyle slightly flipped out. Next she meets… is this Kevin Smith’s music guy? in some kind of black cardigan. And then she plays at prom in this outfit I could never understand. A polka-dot tea party dress with a blue ribbon low on the waist, fishnets, and a sequined cardigan. Those just don’t look like Ashley’s clothes. Maybe she borrowed them. But Ashley truly is beautiful. I just love her sultry-looking eyes.

Spinner looks like such a delinquent these days. I love the hair, as you know, but he does look really untrustworthy. maybe because he is. First he’s slacking at The Dot wearing a leather bracelet and his ball bearing necklace. Next he’s “dressed up” to try to sweet talk his way back into school after getting kicked out. Shoutout to the skater belt and tongue ring. He wears a beanie to break into the school, and again appears in Hot Sauxe’s office in a red button down. Just total loser era right here.

Time for all the miscellaneous grabs from this episode. First is this horrid group at The Dot. Ah, I see from their book that they are a birdwatchers club. They’re dressed awfully rugged to be strolling around a city park gazing at birds. The leader of this group has tiny glasses and skinny eyebrows. We sure liked things small around the eyes back then, didn’t we? Next is this nurse at the blood drive. She’s scary. And she’s wearing scrubs, nothing really to talk about there. Caitlin’s camera dude is wearing a khaki jacket. Blood donors are wearing baggy or flared jeans with white tennies. And here’s Dylan’s new dude – what was his name… Eric or something? I can’t believe I didn’t take note. He’s wearing a black tank and a puka shell necklace. We briefly see a janitor in work clothes – not sure why I included that.

Oh man, it’s time for Marco’s moment. First he’s in a zip up jacket, hoodie, and some kind of like comic book shirt. Also shout out the soul patch, don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it before, but there it is, looking itchy. Next Marco is in just a standard graphic tee with something random & unrelated on it, and I like his hair like this – curly and tucked behind the ears. He’s also seen helping with the blood drive in casual khakis and this red blood vest. Oh yeah, he’s being told he can’t give blood because he’s gay. Yeesh. Next, the outfit continues on, and we’re in Dylan’s dorm. Here we can see that these casual khakis are also FLARED! Shoutout to Marco’s flares, I feel like no one ever mentions them but I am such a fan of men in flares. I was hoping it would come back big time for men when flares circled around in the late 90s/2000s, but sadly it was mostly girls wearing them. Marco also seems to have this decorative belt on his waist, and lugs around a messenger bag. And he freakin walks in on Dylan with another guy. And Dylan’s like, “Oh hey Marco!” Brutal. Marco tries his best to suck it up, so he appears at the dorm party in an orange sleeveless tee with flare jeans. Oh yeah and plants a smooch on Craig. Our last look is Marco in a dark long sleeve, with hair hair still big.

Haha, even funnier seeing Jay in shadow like this, all ominous. I like his character here. He’s a total loner but like, unbothered. He’s trying to move in on Spinner, like the freaking DEVIL SERPENT, I love it. He wears this kinda black cargo jacket lookin thing, and baggy pants, cool shades, and his backwards hat. He gives a nice rock-bottom vibe trying to steal a bike for the hell of it. Oh and turns out he’s actually not such a bad guy, because he doesn’t want to burn the school down like Spinner does. Can’t believe y’all like Spinner.

“MONOGAMY, WOW, what a concept!” Haha, it would have been funny if Ellie ended up cheating on someone one day. Oh shoot, (hah) she’s wearing the basketball hoop today! Have we covered this thing yet? This is one of the most wretched and bizarre garments of Degrassi. What is happening, and WHY?! I don’t even need to describe this to you. It’s a BASKETBALL HOOP around her torso! Anyway, sometimes I’m really buying the “goth” look on her but today she’s not selling it. Her hair looks very basic as well as her makeup, nothing to support that strange outfit. However, this second look here is super cute. A black shirt with pink detail, a side part, and a flip phone.

Yippee, we enter the year 2005 with a new episode and Alex! She’s wearing her usual, a white tank with hoop earrings, casual khakis, and her bra straps hangin out. Then she classes it up a bit, with her hair clipped up and a brown tee. It’s a totally different look. She’s also sporting her cross-body bag and tucks her shades into her shirt just like Paige does. Probably because your hair will get stuck in the nose piece if you wear them on top of your head.

I’ve got pages of Paige to share today (ha)! First she’s in a sky blue, which has got to be one of her best colors! Also she’s got very matte makeup, almost grunge-like eyeshadow, and nice skinny 2000s eyebrows. Oh yeah, and when she realizes Snake might have seen her out in public with Mr. O, she hurriedly dons this pink cowboy hat which I LOVE! Then she’s in class in a dusty pink top which has some ruffle detail. Actually, this might be better describes as a “tunic” because this thing is long, going down past her hips. I hated that era of clothing, the whole “is this a shirt of a dress?” thing. Ugh. She also wears a messenger bag and flare jeans. And this is the outfit that she wears while fighting Manny. I hate that such an iconic moment lasted like 7 seconds and was never spoken of again. When Paige stalks Mr. O and finds his apartment, she wears a burgundy 3/4 sleeve graphic tee. We get a work uniform moment as well… and finally, a peachy paisley blouse with cuffed flare jeans and stilettos.

Manny is wearing some low-hanging pants and a zip up hoodie for Spirit Squad practice. And then, this hairstyle she wears while she’s comforting Emma outside is one of my favorites. It’s parted down the middle, clipped at the sides, and it’s just, BIG. I have a thing for big hair. Probably because I don’t have it myself. Manny’s outfit is a powder blue track suit over an orange athletic tee with some white tennies. Oh yeah, and minor detail, she gets into a huge fight with Paige! Love it. She was definitely better dressed for fighting. At Emma’s she ices her face in a yellow robe. And when she sees Chester, who by the way she already dumped, she’s mortified because she’s “disfigured”. I always thought it was so weird that people are embarrassed about temporary things out of their control. Like “oh sorry for these mosquito bites on my legs” or “sorry for this black eye”… umm… you’re forgiven? Manny quickly ties up her oversized tie-dying shirt to reveal super short shorts and some very tall wedge flip flops. Those shoes are freakin amazing. Her last outfit is her – I think this is a Ferrari jacket? I don’t remember.

Emma is all recovered from her gonorrhea, but the reputation lives on. She looks really pretty here in class wearing some layered tanks and a skirt. Chris insults her, and then outside, she really truly does look upset. She wears a khaki jacket and looks freaking exhausted. Next we get a closeup of the toes – which is here because nail polish IS fashion, right? And she wears a pink robe, then a large white shirt for tie-dying. Wait, why are we tie-dying in white? Whatever. She’s also got on khaki capris. For ninja night she wears some dark athleisure. And finally, it’s practically all-khaki-everything with this jacket, skirt, and tan shoes. The dynamic between her and Chester was interesting. I love how she was so unintimidated by him, wish we could have seen more.
