ian X km Fa hion. Th Cra e of the 8O's! Mini skirts, Mini skirts See how high Parachute pants That make you fly Flashdance sweatshirts Simple and sleek Walking shorts They sure look sheik Leather pants Sure fit tight The fashions last year Were out of sightl As one looks back at his parents' yearbook, he immediately recognizes many of todays' top current fash- ions. Only a few short years ago these styles were laughed at by our generation, along with other reoccurring customs such as big and baggy T-shirts with double cuffed sleeves. Saddles with kneesocks, which have continued to stay in particulary for pep squad members, also reigned in yesteryear. And to think, we used to get a good chuckle from them? - Besides the ever popular mini dress worn almost daily, other ec- centric fashions boomed last year. Top designers introduced the ex- travagant baggy sweatshirts, which can be cut to one's taste and worn off the shoulder, parachute pants, made of thin material and in a multi- tude of colors, leather jackets, skirts, and pants, worn tight to look cool , and anklets that were worn with every shoe available on the market. The fashions last year were crazy to say the least. The rule was, wear what you want to and take a chance! Laurie Hickman and Raigan Roskob flash the latest style: a baggy sweatshirt and a denim mini. . Fashion!5
