Fashior D espite the preppy look, which was rag- ing throughout the country, students at the UI remained distinctive in their style of dress, refusing to be caught up in the passing fads. Although campus fashion did not normally meet the extravagant standards set in Vogue magazine, students were also seen in fashions above the down-home styles of jeans, flannel shirts and tennis shoes. Even if most student did not read Vogue magazine for their fashion ideas, they did get their in- formation from a variety of sources. But, no matter how students obtained their fashion tips, they were choosing war- drobes more carefully this year than they had in the past. Students looked for fashion with a reasonable price because of their budgets, but many build up their wardrobes throughout their college careers. Students wanted clothes that offered them the most for their money. Also, clothes that were truly versatile and gave them a complete look with every combination. Most students wanted key pieces, not just random parts. According to local merchants versatility characterized style students were looking for in the clothes they bought. Despite all their efforts no one thing was selling really well, rather it seemed a little of everything was going. One noticeable trend this year was the move to the frilly, lacy, more feminine style in clothing for women. The men also seemed | to be more conscious of what they were | wearing by choosing the more tailored sports shirts over simple t-shirts. A suit or the look of a suit remained the backbone of a modern wardrobe. The trend for a longer, softer jacket. If there was a skirt, the skirt was comfortable and a bit full. The pants were pleated at the waist and straight legged. Desiqner name clothes also attracted at- tention. Items such as Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, Jordach and Sassoon jeans and shirts, Lacoste shirts and dresses, Lee or Levi's straight leg jeans or cords could be seen about campus. As with last year, natural materials were the favorite in everything from tweed jackets to wool pants. Also sweaters, in all styles and colors were favorites of both men and women, All in all, relaxed, yet elegant, was the key. From the new brave souls who followed the latest fads to the classics-only collectors, our style was individuality personified.L)
