FROM LEVIS TO LACE The Classical Fashions of 1980-81 in- cluded something for everyone. From Le- vis to lace, the styles ranged from the clas- sics to current trends. Among the many looks were the preppie look, the western look, and designer clothes. The preppie look was the current rage that many Classical students were wear- ing. Oxford shirts were present in almost every group of students, along with Izods, Fair-isle sweaters, chinos, and plaid skirts. The movie “Urban Cowboy” introduced western styles that caught on fast. Cowboy boots worn by girls and guys were very popular. Wearing these boots with jeans, and topped by a ten-gallon hat, many stu- dents looked as if they had just stepped out of the “Old West”. Sport jerseys, surgeons O.R. shirts, and designer clothes gave the students that wore them the look they wanted. Worn by those guys who wished to look like Med students, wore hospital shirts, especially the green type worn by surgeons. Designer clothes were popular among many. Calvin Klein, Sasson, and Gloria Vanderbilt la- bels were seen adorning many derriers. All of the atheletes were extremely proud to wear their sport jerseys, their own ‘status symbol’. On the classic side of dressing were the more ‘chic’ types. Pleated pants, sweaters, and ties were worn by the guys, and dress- es, high-heeled shoes, and many other ac- cessories, by the girls. Whether a person dressed in clotbes directly out of “Vogue” or in everybody’s favorite jeans, they were not alone at Classical, where every group had their own look. 10 Student Life
