Various styles of shoes could have been seen throughout the school. clothes were a change to explore the trends or find your own style as always they were of self expression a way One way to see how a person felt was to watch the trends he followed. Clothes were a major part of self-expression. The comfortably dressed student could have been seen wearing pull-over sweaters and loafers which was sometimes known as the preppy look or just plain casual. Those students who had wanted to make a statement would wear the punk look which included anything from braided tails with plastic babies to metal chains. The biggest trend was the wearing of sweaters, sweatshirts and socks that seemed to come from the core of a nuclear reactor. The shock of flourescent reds, pinks, blues, greens, oranges and yellows were blinding to innocent, unsuspecting passers-by. Not all students dressed in trends. There were those who had their own style and did not follow the crowd. Some students who wished to add some life to a dull day carried around anything from yo-yo ' s to squirt guns. No matter what you wished to express or how you wished to express it, the means were there and very few people would question your right to show off and do what you felt when you felt like doing it. 16 fashion Junior Traci DiSalvatore models her style of clothing
