From top to toes fashion flares with blazers, button-downs and boots he prep parade By: Deb Williams he OBU fashion cur- riculum began with a study of the classics. From the toes of our top siders to the tip of our French braids, prep was definitely our style. This sportswear approach for fall 1980 was basically the same for both men and women. The top story began with a button-down collar shirt, an in- itialed crew sweater, or the ever-popular Izod “T” (if you really wanted to impress, anIzod pin could be bought to adorn any shirt). Pleated pants, cotton-twill khakis, or drab green army fatigues were the bottom-line. Fabrics were natural. No more polyester pant-suits and double knit dresses. Wool tweed and cotton flannel moved out front along with real silk and suede cloth. For the women, lace-trimmed and peter-pan collars were perched atop plaid or oxford cloth shirts. Trouser skirts, knee socks, and penny loafers lent a casual air to “dress-up” days. Soft and silky, feminine blouses were the ideal accent for tailored pants and slim skirts. Gloria Vanderbilt and Calvin Klein found their way into the BUTTON-DOWN COLLAR, navy blazer, and tie complete the G.Q. look for Kevin Crass, a senior from Pine Bluff. most discriminating jean ward- robe. G.Q. men had a share of the “prep-set” also, with navy wool blazers, Brooks Bros. shirts and crew sweaters. A more casual look might have been cowboy boots, Levis, a western shirt, and, if the weather permitted, a quilted down vest. All in all, relaxed, yet elegant, was the key. From the few brave souls who followed the latest fads to the classics-only collec- tors, our style was individuality personified. DRESSED AND READY TO GO, Kevin, Jenny, Steve, and Carolyn step out in style. Fashion 23
