Freshman Tracy Sowers replies I really like shopping for new clothes at the mall and watching for the latest styles in fashion magazines. The Fashion Scene At MHS Students at Mishawaka High School dressed in fashionable outfits all year long. Many new trends were started and everybody seemed to join in with the fads. Junior Chris Monroe commented, This year brought an array of different styles that appealed to me, but it seemed that I never had enough money to buy all the things I liked. Bulky, Shaker knit sweaters in various colors were matched with tank tops or blouses, which were sometimes even un- tucked from the sweater. Tight fitting stir- rup pants became popular with students, who put them together with colorful socks and pumps. I like wearing colored nylons because they help to color-coordi- nate your outfit, replied Cheryl Zie- linski. Big earrings, plastic bracelets, and large strands of beads were fun accesso- ries which helped add to the outfit of 1986. Susie Reising said, I think acces- sories add to an outfit. Without them, clothes can look really dull. Many girls found a switch from blue jeans to the mini-skirt, which was brought back in style from the late 60 ' s. Mini- skirts were often worn with oversized shirts, often dressed up with a big, bright belt. The paisley print also came into the 80 ' s on dress pants, blouses and sweat- ers. Brian Nelson expressed his opinion by saying, I don ' t like the paisley print; 1 think it looks like an amoeba! People began wearing wild and crazy prints, with spots, blotches, stripes, squig- gles, and even pants printed with a plaid design. Even corduroy knickers with ar- gyle socks became popular as the year wore on. The bobbed haircut was very popular this year, and girls tied big, lace bows in their hair, or pulled it back with a big clip. The boys at Mishawaka dressed in big, pocketed jeans, dress shirts, knitted sweaters, thin ties, and shoes that laced. Junior Ricky Ellsasser commented, It ' s really been kind of fun shopping for all the new styles. Top left to bottom right: Cindy FreGJand, Kerri Parl er, Rosella Portoiesi, Mitzie Wawrzynski.
