Women also enjoyed the “big look and the comfort of the shaker-knit sweater, often paired with stirrup pants and a racy tank-top underneath. Those less daring preferred to wear their “Forenzas” with the traditional turtle neck and cropped jeans in bright, and often shocking, colors. The skirt was also a popular item. Of course, there was the tried-and-true blue jean mini in fashion colors, and the straight Checno skirt paired with low-heeled ballarina flats.
