By Shelly Flaherty What people wear says a lot about who they are. People often judge others by the clothes worn. Girls with purple mohawks dressed in leather and chains give the impression they are “punk.” If a guy is all decked out in an oxford, V-neck cardigan, tapered slacks, and boat shoes, people think he’s “preppie.” Those whose total wardrobe consists of nothing but sweats and sneakers are classified as “jocks.” Everyone has his or her own taste when it comes to style. While one per¬ son may see an outfit as being adorable, someone else may think, “Geez, I wouldn’t be caught dead in that!” What we wear is largely determined not only by what we feel comfortable in, but by what others will accept as being fashionable. Jeans are always in style, but there are many different types of jeans. Some examples include frosted, straight-leg, stone-washed, bell- bottoms, hip-huggers, torn and faded, and even jeans with designs em¬ broidered on the pockets! Frosted jeans, which look like they have been spritzed with bleach, were a popular look in jeans this year. Many students were seen in stonewashed jeans, which are already faded when purchased. Karla Spexarth, Andale sophomore, Roslyn Rucker, East St. Louis, Ill. sophomore, and Darci Berryman, Great Bend freshman, are introduced to the student body as they get ready to attend the national meet. 12 Brett Staehr, Great Bend freshman, helps himself to some ice cream. Tall people no longer have to be asked if they’re waiting for a flood. “High- water pants” are now referred to as “cropped,” and tall girls as well as short are sporting this style. Hurachis, made of woven strips of leather, were the hottest item in foot¬ wear, especially when worn with the safari-look clothing in army green, khaki and beige colors. Along with the jungle prints, peach and mint green were among the most popular colors. Rugby-type shirts bearing the logo of Coca-Cola were a hot item this winter.

Another popular look this year was an untucked T-shirt worn with longer- length shorts patterned in bright colors, called “jams.” Greg Klusener, Great Bend sophomore, said, “Mini skirts are nice.” David Taylor, Great Bend sophomore, agreed, adding he likes girls in snug, form-fitting black pants.
