Summer of 1987 holds many surprises. Don ' t worry, to satisfy all those who are hungry for the return of jams, they will be quite relieved to know that they will be back but in a wider variety of styles. Girls will find printed and solid colored beach pants as well as the guys. Beach pants and crop pants are great for those cool mornings or late evenings at the beach. They look perfect with an oversized shirt and a tank top and a pair of sandals. In order that you can wear your jams again and again, you will be able to find a bigger variety of tank tops and oversized t-shirts to wear with you high action summer wear. More variety of jams and prints will be available this year. Even some designers who kept away from the jams last year will try their hands at the styles. Longer shorts and sleeveless camp shirts will be an introductory item for Summer. Already, the sleeveless shirt is taking off at a fast pace. You see many styles in a variety of colors even plaids and stripes. Madras plaid shorts look great with the sleeveless solid blouse or with an oversized t-shirt. For the evenings out, a popular look is a tank dress with a dainty lace collar. This raps up the fashion year for Summer of 1986 to Summer of 1987. It was a high action and fun-packed fashion year. In 20 years when our kids pull out this yearbook, they will probably laugh at out outrageous fashions and the silly stuff we wore. But we must remember that fashion is a state of mind and we form first impressions by fashion. It is a very important part of our society because it gives us an identity, it tells others who we are, what we are, and who we want to be, all by our style of dress and our sense of fashion. Style-its the word for the future. Style. —Melanie Schranz (Melanie is a member of Famous-Barr ' s Junior Fashion Board.)

Winter of 1986 was basically a fad and designer season. It was a season of keeping warm and a good fashionable way to keep warm was to layer colorful turtlenecks under larger rugbys and long sweaters. Everybody remembers the long sweaters. The sweaters stretched below the waist and dropped down to the hips or lower. These sweaters were not only a popular and fashionable item because they came in a variety of colors and styles, but because they kept more of your body warm and they made you look slim and taller. Rugbys were another top that made you look slim and they are exciting because they come in a variety of styles from designers. Some very popular styles from designers are Coco-Cola, Forenza, Benneton, and Swatch. These long sweaters and rugbys were a casual outfit that when coupled with a pair of colored socks, loafers, and a pair of Guess? jeans looked stylish and was a popular winter outfit. Spring of 1987 arrived early in the calendar year and offered teenagers a early opportunity for the return of the jams and the beach wear-but most people braved the temptation to wear their jam and swimsuits and many opted for warm pastel sweaters with a touch of lace and cool long cotton skirts. Many others thought a dressy skirt with a matching top and a lace collar that has a pretty print material and a petticoat underneath to add fullness added a dressy touch. With the return of petticoats and floral skirts comes the return to the feminine and soft touch instead of the casual and masculine look. Other popular spring fashion items that were a carry over from the fall season were the sleeveless 10 button henley, the jungle print in Spring styles like short sleeved blouses, camisoles, and the denim look in Spring styles like mini skirts and denim walking shorts. Spring fashions are usually a carry over from the fall season in Spring ' s cooler styles. The Spring season is a big fashion season for dresses and the introduction of new formal wear. Lacy long formal dresses in pastel colors and short spunky dresses in bold colors were popularly styled into strapless dresses. Spring is a transition season mostly because designers design and present their new ideas in fall and summer which is why most people look forward to the summer season. Tony Bankston sports his denim overalls by Bu¬ gle Boy ($28) and the popular undershirt by Esprit for Men ($24) and none other than the Chuck Taylor high top All-Star tennis shoes for ($20).
