So yeah here’s normal boring plaid Shane, he could just as easily be walking down the street today and I wouldn’t look twice at this outfit because some things never change (well except for those palm trees incorporated into the plaid). So let’s move on because what I have next is much more exciting.

I can’t say enough about this. Shane looks like a clown with these bright shades of red and blue. And dear god, the shorts! The shorts!!! They don’t match the red in his shirt whatsoever! Anyway, I just, love… and hate… this. It sure is festive; it’s what he wears to the fight!

Scooter’s messed-up polo and itty-bitty backpack make all grade 8s vie for his attention.

So Scooter isn’t straying far from his polo theme this episode. Yeah, so here you go. Eat your heart out.

Chic and professional as usual, Raditch sports a spectrum of blues, browns, and pale pinks in his assortment of shirts, ties, jackets, and khakis.

So obviously the pinks, peaches, and reds are Nancy’s colors of  choice. She also seems to like white shorts and little white tennies. I’m glad I was able to get so many shots of her this episode.

This was odd in a couple of ways. I’ve never seen the preppy look on Nancy. She’s got on a white button down with the sweater draped over her shoulders in a stereotypically 80s fashion. It kind of works for her and her over-achiever status. And come on, I have to talk about this baseball mitt. Really, she’s holding a baseball mitt? Is she on a softball team? Is she playing catch in that outfit?

Degrassi always shows people involved in sports for a brief moment, or just for one episode. Remember in the old TNG intro where they show Terri in a lacrosse uniform but we never even hear her talk about lacrosse? Remember in TNG Season 2 when the girls are on a floor hockey team? And in DJH we have the girls’ swim team for one episode? And now apparently Nancy plays a little softball on the side. Oh well, I’m not complaining, I don’t even like sports.

Nancy and maya

And lastly we see another preppy look on Nancy: a white button down under an open purple cardigan, and khaki shorts. Very mature, just like Nancy!

Liz wears a soft orange tee cinched in with a black belt, a denim skirt, a small silver chain necklace, and some dangly earrings.

Despite everything, I do like Liz’s style. She’s sporting her typical layered tank look today. White tank underneath, topped with a purple/red-ringed tank. She compliments the look with black skinny pants, and combat boots with thick white socks.

I wish I could have seen this better! This is a bit of an unusual look for Liz. She’s wearing what looks to be a grey dress with a white layer peeking out the bottom. She keeps the getup from being too sweet by adding her white socks and combat boots again.

LD 1

Check this out! People talk about LD being totally unfeminine (which, for the record, I fully support), but here for a brief second we see LD wearing a headband and carrying a purse! The jean shorts and navy tee are pretty too!

Jyoti time! She’s got a classic junior-high type of style. On the left she wears a big white tee and some cotton yellow shorts, with white tennies and white ankle socks. On the right she’s got another white tee, with some kind of weird graphics on it.

I’ve been working on my pause-button skills and got a few Joy caps for you this episode. As always, she’s the first person to rush out of class. She must hate class. Or she must have a boyfriend she really wants to get to in between classes. Anyway, I swear t-shirts are getting bigger. Soon they will look like mu-mus. You know, like that flowered one Homer Simpson wore. Anyway, despite the enormity of this pink shirt, it looks cute with teal shorts and white flats.

Ms. Jeremiah foreshadows Joey’s pounding while wearing a giant yellow button down and topped with a red apron. The color of BLOOD.

She dresses Joey’s wounds in some sort of acid wash denim dress, and a droopy scarf tied around her ponytail.

Since I’m sick of Joey, I will try a biased and negative fashion review today.

Joey got what he deserved when Dwyane shoved him and ripped his shirt. Actually, Joey deserved that simply for wearing this ridiculous getup. He had tried to meld the world of tourist dads and biker gangs with this Hawaiian shirt and jean vest. No wonder Liz isn’t responding to that goofy smile. Derp!

In what world is it okay for a dude to wear cap sleeved shirts? Anyway, Joey’s got this shirt that looks like it came from the little girls’ section, the vest that he thinks makes him as cool as Rick, and some grey mesh fedora that doesn’t match anything else he’s got on. The fact he’s terrified today only makes the cap sleeves more hilarious.

And THIS is what defeat looks like. They must have made him wear that for this scene. He’s got on  a humble grey shirt, kind of wrinkled to show he’s given up, but he’s not quelled enough to ditch the fedora for a day.
