The tropica! look oJu«yi teems to be In Mttch Nelson, in the basic Hawaiian Shirt, speaks to Beth Lopez, who wean the down under look of Banana Republic. “Everyone at Furman seems to dress alike. We are pretty fashionable for the South, but we are not to be compared with what you see in New York City ” All That Glitters Who was It who said, All that glitters is not gold ? It most certainly was gold... and silver, and bronze, and copper. Heavy metal appeared everywhere, from jewelry and belts to shoes and handbags. That look went on to include rhinestones. The jean-denim look was still popular, but it was dressed up by studs and stones set In geometric patterns. Susan Baldwin noted, “Everyone at Furman seems to dress alike. We are pretty fashionable for the South, but we are not to be compared with what you see In New York City. Womens clothes seemed to become more feminine, as evidenced by longer skirts and fuller blouses. There was a tendency to add accessories wherever possible, Including scarves, pins, belts, and belt-bracelets. Not soon enough, the Miami Vice look finally vanished, although men’s fashions were still geared toward comfort. The men at Furman had fashion, They are more preppy or classy than I’ve seen at other area colleges,” remarked Vinod Thourani. Guys wore oversized rugby shirts, baggy pants, and cut up jeans. There were untucked oxfords worn beneath Inside-out sweatshirts, and boxers hanging out of shorts. The more conservative males wore sweater vests and Duckhead pants. Suspenders were back in mode also. Women also seemed to be more concerned with comfort this year. Christine Caputo felt that Furman is up to date, but less trendy than the rest of the world of fashion. Clothes are more structured and tailored for women, but are still geared toward comfort. During the warmer months, women wore T-shirts and men’s boxer shorts. As the weather got colder, the Outback Red long underwear look became fashionable. Women wore oversized sweaters over stretch pants, with ankle socks and high-top Reeboks. Overall, the trends were not too radical. There were still the die-hard classic preps who Ignored the current trends, and continued to wear oxfords, sweaters, argyle socks and penny loafers. But those who lived to change with the times kept Furman in high style. Sandra Fanning 24 Student Life
