Wxf 1 0 High Fashion Flares Up At Basic The overall look for 1981 was a very flashy and colorful one. Many of the new styles were daring and bold. Many ward- robes were a mixture of the preppy look, and a flashy New Wave panacea. High fashion was a very big part of this look during the year. Things as brash and as daring as mini-skirts and boots were worn by the more brave, while the less courageous type went with things such as knickers and headbands. Colors played a major role in the shaping of our fashion. A lot of bright colors went with the styles of Basic. Whereas in the pre- vious years, clashing colors were popular, this year, the fad was coordinating shades of the brightest colors. The most worn colors were the metallic golds, bronzes, and cop- pers. Purple and lavender were also very big. Hairstyles were a unique feature of fash- ion types. The permed look was very popu- lar with the girls and some guys. While long- er hair was in for most people, the boys in ROTC had just the opposite views. Most of them shave their heads so that the hair was just barely visible. When asked why they braved this shave , they merely replied, for the fun of it. fads and fashions stamp pair of designer jeans gallon of gas school lunch combo McDonald's hamburger S .52 speeding ticket record album haircut concert ticket for Foreigner 5548.00 1.19 1.30 5 2.00 55 7.88 5517.00 314.00 Ramona Whitemore leans back frivolously as she models a knee-length sweatshirt. This Hsweatsuit look is a very popular trend among the girls. Tim Brantley and Eddie Barnhart grin sheepish- ly as their freshly sheared scalps stand out promi- nently. Many of the ROTC males participate in this popular fad of shaving their heads. While the sultry Lisa Donnelly poses for this pho- tograph, many eyes turn to observe. Most people aren't used to this brash mini-skirt style. 'T ..': li f'ia:.. . ., - . i X 1
