Velour was also popular with the men on campus who chose to wear them with various shades of cords or cotton pleated pants. Blazers and the prepie look were definitely a part of this year. For both men and women, blazers, cords, sweaters, small collared cotton shirts and docksider shoes made up the prepie look. Formal wear consisted of the slit skirt and ankle strapped shoes for the women and suits with small lapels, small collared shirts and the skinny tie for the men. Shoes con- sisted of duckies, clogs with heels and candies. Even the hair changed as braids and combs were used for women as the hair length went short for men.
