In "Perfect Chemistry" by Simone Elkeles, a character observes a classmate from Fairfield High. This guy is described as short and dressed in a coral-colored golf shirt paired with white pants, which give him an outdated and nerdy appearance, reminiscent of someone attending a senior citizen's event. His attempt to appear cool is undermined by his peculiar choice of clothing. Despite his effort to fit in, the narrator finds the boy's style more laughable than fashionable. The contrast between his aspiration to be seen as cool and the reality of his outfit highlights the awkwardness often experienced in high school, especially when trying to navigate social dynamics.
