Kayla Frost, 15, a sophomore at Free State High School, takes on a '50s look with her cat-eye glasses.

Demetrius Kennedy, 14, a ninth-grader at West Junior High School, is sporting an Afro hairstyle this fall.

Blue jeans and sandals are still the standard. Looking casual is Jack Bell, 16, a junior at Lawrence High School, and Shari Lassiter, 17, a senior at LHS.

Footwear is big this year no matter what age you are but a touch of color on the toes adds flair to Taylor Schlenfeld's look. Taylor, 12, is a student at West Junior High School.
