M lA : S 'H inspired camouflage, OP. T's and cropped shirts were the Top of fashion Everyone feels the need to be in at least once in their life and we were no exception. Students could be seen dressed in pedal pushers or ankle length baggy jeans. To top off the pants a shirt was often a sleeveless crop top. This was all a major part of the fast changing fashion scene. Another breakthrough was the varying length of pants and dresses. Pant and jean lengths went from mid-calf to above and below the ankle. Mini-skirts once again became a very popular fashion. Other new looks were the M A'S'H and beach looks. Students, generally guys, wore camouflage pants, hats and even tennis shoes. Ocean Pacific T-shirts along with baggy pants classified the beach look. When back to the basicsl' was mentioned, preps felt right at home. The preppy look was often layered and began with a Polo shirt. Oxford shirts were also popular and worn over the Polo. To keep up the preppy look dress slacks were also added. Senior John Blaney said, It's not really in the heart as much as the clothes. Itls just the look. The final touch on any well-planned outfit was the proper shoes. If an outfit was New Wave, color pumps or ballet flats were needed. A beach outfit required boat shoes or checkered vans For those who preferred the preppy look, penny-loafers or solid tennis shoes were chosen. These shoes, clothing and styles kept up the fashion. They became a part of our lives and memories and helped us through these . . . FAST TIMES 1- Shoes were an important part of every outfit. Camouflage and checkers, or vans, became essen- tial to the guys, while tucked-toe solids were chosen by the girls. 138 Fast Times Sm g We we is 43 sf x W M x .. its . t. ,Ss ,M
