Investing in something that will last is always the smart thing to do. Trumbull High School has comfortably adapted to the current trend of durable, timeless, and quality pieces that can be paired with virtually any style. Sperrys, Toms, and Hunter rain boots have all been seen as \u2018staple pieces\u2019 for any Trumbull High School girl. <\/p>\n
Designed by Paul Sperry, the show brand was made to be worn on boats, meaning it had to be equipped with gripping, waterproofing, and flexibility. Today, the shoes range from $85-$195 depending on the colors, style, and any other stylish add-ons such as sequin or metallic accents. Girls today use the shoe style to create an effortlessly chic summer outfit to take them from school to the beach. <\/p>\n
According to sophomore Jen Gomes, \u201cSperrys are probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I wear them all the time; even in the winter. They don\u2019t easily get wet and are extremely cute to wear with every outfit.\u201d These shoes are known for their durability regardless of the conditions that they are worn in. <\/p>\n
People have been known to jump into lakes with their Sperrys on summer after summer and still have the same, immaculate shoes. <\/p>\n
Similarly following this trend, Toms have been recognized as one of the most charitable brands to date. The brand motto, \u201cOne for One,\u201d explains the idea behind investing in these slip-on, cushioned shoes: for every pair of shoes bought, another one is given away to a child in need. Toms come in every color and type of fabric imaginable and are definitely worth the investment. They provide support and protection while also feeling light and looking stylish. <\/p>\n
However, adds Jen Gomes, \u201cToms are more likely to get ruined in the rain and are not as cute as Sperrys.\u201d These are the perfect shoes to wear in warmer months to carry a look from day to night. With a multitude of styles and fabrics available, Toms have proven to be a great addition for warm, dry day outfit.<\/p>\n
Hunter rain boots originate from the U.K. They were once distributed to soldiers in WWI and WWII, and had happy customers ranging from the rich to the farmers. The price for your average knee-high colored pair goes for $135. With cheaper alternatives available, the question is, why choose this brand? They have been known to be some of the sturdiest boots on the market and can come in tall sizes, guaranteeing the customer will not get their feet wet. Celebrities such as Kate Moss have been seen wearing these versatile boots on both rainy and sunny days. These boots are known for their ability to do their job by keeping your feet dry while also allowing personal style to be shown through a variety of colors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
