Anything goes in fashion Do you dress for your own identity or to be accepted by a group? -Ann Srewart o you dress for your own identity or to be acceptable. -sr Q epted ISJQW group? Do you wear a variety of different styles or particular? Do you ever have the urge to wear your 2 N ik school? When you were youn er did you cross breed 9 v i f ya: 0 .-,,' s o-T 5 is your Garanimals? Surely, at one time or another, almost every student at Hastings High has thought about these questions. Being fashionable, or at least knowing what is fashionable, is important to most of us. First of all, this is not a critique but simply a review of some of the fashion trends at Hastings High. I do not wish to offend my fellow students by a making fun of their styles. After all, to be truly fashionable and accepted by all groups, one must try to wear a variety of different outfits Cpreferably not at the same timeb. At HHS, the tough look of the punkrockers seems to be the most popular of the fashion trends inspired by music. There is, however, something slightly frightening about music that inspired people to stick safety pins in their ears and dye their hair pink. Almost everything a true punker wears is made from black leather. If you haven't already noticed, black leather clothes are kind of scarce in Hastings, but there is no shortage of dog collars and chains so it is still possible to achieve the punk look. Another music-inspired fashion trend is that started by singing and film star Madonna. This style caught on very quickly at HHS, The most essential part of any Madonna outfit is the hair ribbon. Lace is the most commonly used material, but dish towels and gym socks will also work because actually nobody really pays attention to the hair. They are too busy watching to see if the navel is showing. Of course, if you hope to be fohionable at HHS, it is absolutely necessary to own at least one concert T-shirt. Right now, T-shirts from the Motley Crue, ACXDC, and Bryan Adams concerts are in. Boxcar Willie and Erlene Mandrell are not too popular at our school right now, but a T-shirt is a T-shirt. T-shirts are also popular with frumps. To be called a frump is not an insult. Frumps are cool because they do not care what they wear as long as it is older than they are. They especially love old fraternity or sorority sweatshirts, Levis, and hightop tennis shoes. There are a lot of part-time frumps at HHS, Despite being attacked by punkers, Madonnas, and frumps, the preppies have managed to survive. Although they always deny it, most preppies buy clothes for the brand name. Ralph Lauren's polo player and lzod's alligator are definitely the favored symbols. ln these tough times, many preppies are being forced to back on the number of shirts they wear at one time. The variety of shoe styles at Hastings High is quite shocking. The newest style is Roman gladiator sandals. All l can say is, l hope this style does not get too far out of control. I am not very fond of togas or chariot races. Unfortunately for me and others like me, high heels are still fashionable. When wearing a pair of high heeled shoes, I find it difficult to stand, dangerous to walk, and deadly to climb stairs. lt does not do much good to be three inches taller if l can't move anyway. Luckily, for ungraceful people, pennyloafers are still l strongly believe that people have the right to wear anything they want as long as it is not painful to other people, Some fluorescent clothes violate this rule. Just as neon bright clothing can cause physical pain, stirrup pants can cause a great deal of emotional anguish to those people whose figures have excluded them from this fashion rage. Congratulations to those who can wear stirrup pants, condolences to those who can't. Perhaps the newest item to come into widespread popularity is the trenchcoat. Trenchcoats used to be worn mostly by undercover detectives, reporters, and flashers. If you do not fit into one of those categories and you wear a trenchcoat, way to be, Dy looking at senior Amber Weisr, one can gather that hair has been changing from short to long to shaved to bleached to almost any way someone is daring to wear if. you are a trendsetterl Above all, remember that it does not matter if students dress to stand our as individuals or to be accepted by groups. It is not important if their rolemodels are Madonna or Gilbert Cfrom Revenge of the Nerds D. No one should make fun of the way another person is dressed. Unless, of course, that person is wearing a polyester stretch-denim suit. Ann Stewart
