CPHS students dress to fit their moods The fashion-conscious folks at CPHS were pretty much able to dress as the mood struck them this year. For both girls and guys, the casual look for school and a more conservative look for dress were stressed. Styles seemed to be going back to those of the ’40s and ’50s. Two-piece suits replaced last year’s three-piece suits and the triangular and layered looks once again came into vogue. Although vests had not entirely left the fashion scene, a more common sight was slacks and blazer or skirt and blazer. To give the body a triangular look, padded shoulders and straighter skirts, jeans, and slacks were once again in style. Also popular were pleated pant legs, and, for the final touch, spikes or sandals with thin, high heels for girls and earth shoes or workboots for guys. An equally popular fashion of 1978- 79 was the layered look. Big at discos and just as big in school were baggy tops which were seen tucked in, with a belt, or worn out. Baggy tops were most often made of cotton, polyester, satin, or silk-like material. For girls, wool or wool-like material, silky or satiny material, chenille, and lace were the most popular pullover materials. For guys, it was wools, tweeds, corduroy, and cotton. And for those who didn’t want to wear all those layers, there were snap-on collars and sleeves. Two other features of girls’ fashions were the long scarf and small bow ties. The long scarf was worn around the neck, under the collar with lacy or cot¬ tony tops. For dress, girls wore shoes with thin, black heels and guys wore loafers or tassel shoes. Jewelry included ankle bracelets, sparkly hair combs, or bar¬ rettes. The big thing to remember about 1978-79 fashion was “dress to fit your mood.” Fashion—17
