I OjeULLL 80 ' s styles show soft, sleek look, romantic, natural Fashions for the 80’s were dazzling, sleek, sophisticated, soft, fleecy and decidedly natural. This year fasion at CPHS fell into three categories, ranging from a soft and sen¬ suous feminine advantage to a fun-lov¬ ing country spirit. As in all fashions there was a go-between, the “collegiate stand¬ ard’’ wear. Most of our soft and sensuous looks were displayed by the palest washes of colors and the lightest wisps of fabric with all the soft, demure touches that have a charm all their own. Pastelled and soft as a whisper were pleated wool skirts eased with pleats and lamb’s wool or angora sweaters. The look for day is decidely natural, in subtler makeup and in fashions and accessories with the richness only natu¬ ral fabrics, leathers, and suedes can deliver. Triggered for excitement and for fun, the western wear appeared for a new go-around in the fashion world. Jeans were still popular, but they were worn with western shirts. Capturing the romance of the Old West, these shirts were decorated with flutters of fringe across the bodice and sleeves, or with lace on collar, cuffs and bodice. Accesso¬ ries for this country elegance were tex¬ tured metal bracelets of gold, silver, cop¬ per or pewter, and necklaces of tur¬ quoise, ivory, and feathers, as well as leather belts, moccasins and leather or suede boots. Naturally, fabulous ten-gal¬ lon hats the cowpunchers provided, dec¬ orated with feathers and beads, com¬ pleted the look. Finally, the “collegiate standards,’’ containing all those items with snap and style, kept right on going from season to season. Most of these styles came in right at Christmas, when mom and dad surprised girls with monogramed sweat¬ ers. Collegiate means “clean-cut,” and that ' s what the look shows. The up-dated classics with a twist, free form gold ban¬ gles, patterned argyle socks or a red piped blazer were still in vogue. All-time favorites were a crew-neck sweater, men- swear ties, round-collared shirts and plaid or corduroy pants. 16—Fashion

The gentle pastel color of a warm fuzzy sweater worn with the newest in pants the “Cheenos, brings a whole new softness and femininity to cas¬ ual daytime dressing as Jackie Brite (opposite page top left) shows. Going for an all-but collegiate look are Sandy Gill and Robin Smith, (opposite page, top right) com¬ bining sweaters with cords and a wool jumper to combat changing temperatures in various class¬ rooms. April Love (opposite page, lower left) sets an exam¬ ple for the newest in western wear: a warm wooly sweater, a pair of Levis, and the famous suede cow¬ boy hat. For the soft and sensuous look, Jeannine Swantko (opposite page, lower right) prefers one of the many styles of sweater dresses that highlighted this year’s fashions. Allen Horner (above center) showed this year ' s style by combining cowboy boots, dress pants, and a soft velour sweater with a shirt underneath for warmth. One reason for the enduring popularity of classic clothes is their foolproof good looks. Here, Tammy Johnstone (above right) shows us just that, as the plaid full skirt and sweater worn over a blouse show a new sense of inventiveness. The look is better than ever. Jeff Csonka (left) sets an example of one of the trends for guys this year: dress pants, plaid shirt, and hiking boots. Soft colorings, soft fabrics add a new appeal to the many different styles of skirts this season. One of those styles as Chris Toman (above left) shows, is a wool gored skirt eased with pleats and topped with the most feminine of sweaters, an angora wool. Fashion—17
