What do you think each of the boy's aesthetics would be (ie: adventurecore, grunge)

OK I LOVE THIS QUESTION!!

i'll start off with Price: this is kind of a long shot but he gives me like, the in-between of old money and cottage-core aesthetic because he's def the type to dress rather refined. and i think, out of all of the boys, he knows how to color match his clothes right HSAHSSAHH

Gaz is definitely the skater boy aesthetic solely for his affinity for hoodies and the baseball caps!! but personal preference? i'd want Gaz to be a dark-academia babe like FOR REALLLLL, it's why i usually draw him in black turtlenecks LMAO. tho, me thinks he's very much willing to spice up his wardrobe. like, i feel Gaz is the kind of person who changes fashion tastes once a year. (he's so me, like for real)

as for Soap? white dad-core all the way (oakley dad shades, basic tees, thick white socks with sandals LOL JK) BUT SERIOUSLY, i think he'd classify as an adventure-core guy if not norm-core because Soap gives basic bitch energy, but he's the only guy here that can actually carry the basic energy pretty well.

i know most would associate Ghost with grunge, alt, or maybe goth? (tho ngl, it fits with his energy), but this mfer likes to Dress! Up! (he even has a full on cowboy outfit in the COD:M comics like??? LMAO) Ghost is the type and prolly the only one other than Gaz who would be willing to explore his aesthetics. but just for the sake, i'd say he's a combo of grunge, streetwear and/or norm-core.

1958 Dial Bar Soap advertisement

[newyorkthegoldenage]

In the 1920s, Broadway actors were celebrities, even if they weren't well-known. Just appearing on a Broadway stage was enough. In this ad, from the March 24, 1928 issue of The New Yorker, Lux soap spotlights 14 of these actresses, all of whom were appearing on Broadway at the time. The Shubert brothers, who owned many theaters, claimed that Lux was the official soap of all their dressing rooms.

Some of the actresses pictured here include Judith Anderson, Claudette Colbert, Vivienne Segal, and Jeannette MacDonald.
