 The 'GQ' Guy” Today's men's apparel has taken on a fashionable trend. Back in the 1970's, popular styles included bellbottom jeans and t-shirts; now in the 86-87 season, male clothing has basically been centered around designed jeans, sweaters, and sweatshirts. Some have decided to go a little further into the fashion scene and dress up with slacks and Oxfords, although most men's preference lie in the category of Levis. Other fashionable styles included Lee Pinstripes and Guess Straightlegs. Seniors 39 The fine art of style is greatly influenced by the accessories that highlight fashion. For instance, this year's newfangled favorites were: fancy bows, stylish belts, oversized purses, and hooped earrings. Bows really hit the spotlight as design silhouettes on jewelry, shoes, handbags, hosiery, and hair adornments. Other contemporary items involved in the accessory makeup include leather, metal, or woven belts in a variety of colors and sizes depending on personal preference. In the category of purses, some girls chose large, oversized shoulder bags, while other girls preferred small, petite handbags. Topping off the fashionable look were gold and silver hooped earrings helping to frame the face, plus also adding a touch of style to the overall appearance. Cultural Clothing Many modifications have taken place in the field of clothing. In 1985, stirrup pants, paisley prints, and oversized sweaters made the big fashion statement. However, in 1987, the arrays of fashion have been centered upon different cultures. Such vogue garments that captured the fashionable eye were: the Western look, for the down-to-earth person, with prairie skirts, bibbed overalls, and ragged jeans; the European look, for the cultural individual, featured the bold style of the Italian Forenza line which included pastel sweaters, snugfitting leggings, and colorful sweatshirts; the Australian image, designed for the fashionable outdoorsman, included famous designs from Outback Red such as ivory lace blouses, ten-button shirts and sweaters, all which looked great with a pair of Khaki slacks. And joining the world of clothing. Coca Cola came out with their own designs for garments. This variety of clothing was captured in Conner Senior High of the 1986-87 school year.
