Student Dress All Decked Out As we enter a new decade, students want clothes that give them the most for their money. Also, clothes that are truly versatile give a student a complete look with every combination. In clothes, students want key pieces, not just random parts. A suit or the look of a suit remains the backbone of a modern wardrobe. The trend is for a longer, softer jacket. If there is a skirt, the skirt is comfortable and a bit full. The pants are gently gathered at the waist, then straight-falling, clean. Dresses are softer, more polished and worn especially with pumps. For the preppy-look, there is the skirt-and-blouse: a khaki skirt and a button-down or an Izod shirt work well. This outfit can be topped with a light sweater or jacket for an added touch. Accessories are still on the level of inventiveness: circlepins, sorority pins, kilt and stick pins, headbands of any sort — especially gold; argyle or cable socks, topsiders, penny and tassel loafers, pumps, elastic gold belts with interchangeable animal clips, add-a-bead and add-a-pearl necklaces, all gold jewelry, Izod belts and down vests. Designer name clothes attract attention. Items such as Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, Jordache, and Sasson jeans and shirts, Lacoste shirts and dresses, Evan Picone and Larry Levine suits, Lee or Levi ' s straight-leg jeans or cords will give a student a preppy-look. These designer clothes can be found in both women ' s and men ' s departments. Within the total context of dressing today, there is more ease, a feeling of softness, and a classy look. A student may wear an outfit for day and, with minor changes, wear it at night. Distinctly out of place are over-structured, confining, or strict pieces. What was once a feature of sports-clothes dressing is now standard fare, and it serves as a guideline to the clothes students want most.
