High ' ' fashion Swatches, stirrup pants, vanity plates - what did they all have in common? They were all in style at Charleston High School during the 1985-86 school year. Aside from these newer trends, fashion stayed relatively tame through- out the year with people tending to go back to the basics when selecting their attire. In the girls department, pre- dominant during the fall and winter was the arrival of the new stirrup pants along with oversized sweaters. Also hot during these cool seasons were plaids - plaid shirts, plaid pants, plaid skirts, plaid sweaters - anything and everything with plaids! Big, bold floral prints were seen throughout the year and livened up even the dreariest of days. In the boys, department, things pretty much stayed familiar with an old pair of Levi's or a worn-in jeans jacket remaining the norm. However, the guys did reflect the times by wearing many more bulky sweaters than in previous years. In the accessories department the big news was definitely the Swatch watch. Produced in a rainbow of colors and designs, even with the large amount of students who owned them, few had Swatches exactly alike! Many people wore them two at a time on the same arm. Also big in accessories was costume jewelry. Fake pearls, rhinestones, and multicolored beads adorned the necks of many of the CHS girls this school year. Not only did people don acces- sories this year, but so did cars! Several students had vanity plates which had names or slo- gans on them to make their cars easily identifiable to friends or other motorists, and also to make their cars look cool . Although 1985-86 was not a banner year for exotic new fash- ions, it will long be remembered as a year in which almost any- thing went! mi WITH ONE SIDE of their hair shaved, Maria Zita and Julie Plantz are followers of the latest trend in hairstyles.
