Different fashion groups grew more tol- erant of each other, however, as individuality be- came important, “People used clothes to reflect their personality; those who were outgoing dressed stylishly, those who were shy dressed so they weren't noticed,’ explained Beth Stromen. Faddish clothes were a way for people to find items few others had. Some students ventured into mini-skirts while others dyed tennis shoes and tied them with laces decorated with hearts, stars, and other colorful motifs. Purses, shoes, and belts in shiny metallics accessorized many outfits. Knickers, from purple velvets to plaid wools, were a fashion find for people who enjoyed classic clothes. Also popular were mid-heel pumps, which took the place of socks and flat shoes. Oth- er students opted for a western look, wearing patterned leather cowboy boots with jeans and skirts. Many students stil preferred casual T-shirts, sweatshirts, and blue-jeans. I liked to be com- fortable and practical, said Kathy Adams. My favorites were baggy blue pants and a sweat- shirt.” Regardless of what they wore, students found ac- ceptance for their individual fashion tastes as clothes became an expression of personality.
