2 18 FASHIONS FADS The preppy look continued to be a popu- lar fashion. This look included bermuda shorts, plaids, madras shirts, and kha- kies. Dress clothes were not forgotten. They were worn not only on dates, but to school as well. The girls' conservative dresses, worn with a bow tie around the neck and pumps, were a popular style. Guys livened up the school scene with blazers, buttondowns, neckties and pen- ny loafers. Popular colors were pink and gray and, as always, black and white. Opposing the dressy style was the out- door look. Faded jeans, cowboy boots, and plaid shirts fitted into this category. This was probably the most popular style, worn frequently because it was both fashionable and comfortable. Fashions and fads at Choctaw last year were better than ever, and students showed their personalities in all they wore. — Brooke Barron Dressing At Fashions during the 1983-84 school year were bigger and better than ever. Skip- ping from summer straight into fall, the surfing styles, which consisted of baggy shorts, flip flops, and tee-shirts, were a hit both on and off the beach. Exercising became a must during the school year, as guys worked at building up their muscles, while girls tried to get toned up. Accompanying this craze was the sweat-shirt style. Sweatshirts were seen in all colors, shapes, sizes, and de- signs. Among the most popular were the off the shoulder and baggy looks. Minidresses and miniskirts were also a favorite last year. Girls enjoyed the com- fort and style, and the guys enjoyed the way the girls looked in them. The most popular style was the denim miniskirt This style coordinated well with almost everything in a girl's wardrobe.
