A wide variety of styles was seen around R-B this year. Bold colors and new patterns joined the more traditional stripes, plaids, and muted earthtones. Blue jeans, the perennial favorite, were available in the traditional straight-leg style, as well as in many new looks - pinstripes, plaids, baggies, and stone-washed. For girls, a new look Cactually dating-back to the 1940's and 5O'sD was the pegged, pedal- pusher style of jeans which were shorter in length, ending at mid-calf. Besides jeans, camouflage fatigues, nylon parachute pants, and pleated-front dress slacks were popular styles. Shirts and tops were equally varied. Wool sweaters and oxford-style shirts remained preppy favorites of both guys and gals. Sleeveless sweatshirts and mesh shirts were a part of the Ubreakdance look, while Ocean Pacific shirts were a California casual trend. The natural look of the 1960's and early 7O's, which meant dressing-down , has slowly been replaced by the trend towards dressing-up. For girls, wearing dresses or skirts to school was more fashionable in '84 - '85 than in the recent past. lt wasn't unusual to see the male students dressed-up, too - even with ties and sport coats, on occasion. Not only clothing, but hairstyles as well, came in many shapes. For most, haircuts were shorter and well-kept, for a few of those more daring, spiked hair, tails, and bleached tips were favored. A wide variety of styles was seen around R-B this year - variety that added spice to self-expression. Student Life 25
