79 brings ' out of sight ' , yet eye-opening styles Remember the fairy tale, The Emperor ' s New Clothes ? To some Ripplites, this story became more or less a part of life, with the introduction of see-through jeans. The plastic jeans, conveniently equipped with air vents to prevent fogging up, opened many eyes at the disco and on the street. The fashionable way to wear the novelty pants included any kind of body suit, yet Danskins prevailed. For those who didn ' t feel quite so exotic, Levis, Sassoon, and Calvin Klein designer, slim-cut jeans filled the spot of most common pants. Ripplites accented their looks with wool blazers, vests, loose flowing skirts gathered at the waist with belts, clogs, heels and the ever-lasting fashion in footwear — boots. To go with the flashy, colorful lights of the disco, shiny, satiny blouses, pants and dresses set the style. For even extra sparkle, some people wore sequined tube tops showing slightly under a silky blouse. Straight out; curl in; this laid the grounds for hairstyles of ' 79. The perm craze included kinky, crimped, and wavy hair; but whatever the style, heads could be seen bouncing through the halls with full, curly locks. Pierced ears came in once, then again, as many Ripplites double and even triple pierced their ears. Students wore a larger earring in one hole, then accented that with a smaller, daintier earring in the other. Keeping warm and in style at the same time, many Ripplites layered their clothes, wearing vests under blazers, sweaters under vests, and piece by piece they put their looks together.
