Why DO we wear belts over our clothes, anyway? Aren’t belts created to hold your pants up? The world makes no sense sometimes. So here she’s wearing a giant pink shirt with a messed up collar, and a belt around it to keep it up. Very Michelle.

Just like her counterpart, Melanie here is publicly shamed for wearing underwear like a normal human being. I love that defeated look on her face!

So we’re finally in high school which means Maya finally gets some screen time! As always, Maya comes thru with her XXXL tee shirts. This ensemble is delightfully 80s.

Lucy combines business and pleasure in this turquoise blazer with ruffly floral skirt. Then we see her in a blue jacket and brown belt, cowering away from helping Kathleen and Melanie off the flagpole.

Well, for a sourpuss, Liz sure does look cute on her first day of school at Degrassi High. I really love this red outfit and I would totally wear it: red long sleeve turtleneck under a black vest, plaid skirt, and black leggings. On point, Liz. She even let other people talk to Spike for a couple of seconds! Then, we see a royal blue vestlike tank over a black long sleeve shirt.

Kathleen Mead Fashion 4.1: Kathleen Kicker

So it appears the new trend is wearing your underwear outside your clothes — oh yeah, I forgot. The niners are just getting hardcore hazed. Where are all the teachers at anyway? Degrassi is like historically known for teachers NEVER being around. Except when there’s a fight, especially a fight that we really want to see. Anyway. This is the first sight of Kathleen in high school – completely dehumanized with white granny panties and what I might call a granny bra – tied to a pole. Nice. I mean, honestly, if this happened to me, I’d think it was kind of funny.

We don’t see a lot of Joy, but at least we get to see her! For high school it looks like she’s got a new hairstyle, and she’s wearing a long sleeved striped tee!
