my little brother in grade 10 got some Red Wings and they're working well for him; they're rugged enough that I don't need to stress about how he's ruining them, and he loves them. A good pair of the standard moc toe red wings in one of the better leathers is a great first real boot (if you try it on for sizing before buying, which he did) because they get better the more you wear them, they feel substantial, and (if you get brown) they're versatile. some other models like pic related are a bit louder, which seems to succeed in high school. teens like bold clothes

When it comes to very expensive stuff, I honestly don't think someone in high school should be looking at RS/RO because your taste is still evolving, and it might be too soon to make a big aesthetic investment; also high school students are more likely to accidentally ruin a piece, especially a delicate one

A lot of things are "acceptable" in high school; you can get by with american eagle and vans at most schools. "Acceptable" shouldn't be acceptable to you.

Graphic tees hit it big with the high school crowd. I don't like UO but it works for HSers. Use your own judgment there. Be careful with brand name items, because even if it's working for you "on a different level" some kids will suspect that you want to fit in and be cool with your supreme 5-panel.

And remember to shave
