With many of the clothes that are shown below, they are just to give an idea of the type of feel of clothing we want our characters to have, not necessarily the actual item of clothing we want them to wear.
These particular items of clothing portray a casual feel, and as the girl is attending college she wouldn't wear anything too dressy or inappropriate. Also, these are clothes that an ordinary girl would wear and therefore keep the narrative realistic.
As there are two locations, the female character must have to different styles, to show the difference between her casual school dress to her going out clothes. These items show smartcasual, not too overlyformal as she is going to gig, but the audience can tell she is dressed to go out - again staying realistic as many people dress up to go out, especially on a date.
For the male character, we wanted to have casual clothing similar to the female, because of the school environment they're in. These items also keep the narrative realistic because they are items of clothes that an ordinary modern boy would wear. When the boy is at the gig, in order to show he's in a different environment, he'll wear a different shirt and smart jeans, to suggest a smartcasual style.
By choosing ordinary everyday styles - casual and smartcasual, this makes the characters more relatable to the audience, and therefore people can sympathise with them more when they're having issues because they can put themselves in that position. Taylor Swift "teardrops on my guitar" uses everday casual outfits, and uses the school environment, by using this familiar environment people are attracted to the characters and are able to become the character because they look ordinary just like the consumer. We wanted our characters to be similar to this, we wanted them to be relatable to the audience and for the audience to see themselves as that character or at least sympathise with the situation; this can be created through the costume that the characters are wearing.
