National statistics show that more high school students than ever before are at¬ tending their Proms and spending large sums of money on the traditionals like clothes, flowers and dinner, not to men¬ tion the ' frills ' ' like a limousine or the day after expenses. Prom is the one time dur¬ ing the year that couples can really dress up and they have started a whole new fashion trend in the process. Guys chose the traditional tuxedo in white, grey or black but they made them look more special with the return to ruf¬ fled shirts. Many of them chose to dress their tuxes up even more by wearing ties and cumberbunds in colors to match their dates ' dresses. Becoming popular too are top hats and canes for a more sophisticat¬ ed look. Popular with the girls for Prom this year was the return to the frilly, off-the- shoulder, romantic, pastel dresses of years past. As an accessory, many girls chose parasols in the color of their dresses to complete the outfit. For girls, however, almost any evening wear was in style, even short dresses or gowns in various styles and colors. While the Madonna or punk look may never catch on for Prom wear, every cou¬ ple can set their own style for a very spe¬ cial night of the year. A top hat, a cane, and a tuxedo can ' t stop Owen Whybrew from enjoying the music at the Ptom. Decorative fans covered in flowers made popular flower arrangements for the girls. Kevin McCarthy tries out his own flower arrangement for Kare n An¬ drade. Lace, ruffles, tuxedos, corsages—they all turn stu¬ dents into handsome Prom-goers. Prom Fashions 25
