'80 Fashion focus that Cowboy look 3 Boots to hats, Texas chic is in Ankle straps, split skirts, baggie jeans and poodle sweaters... These were just the start of our fast changing fashion. Ifsomeone came up to you in 1978 and said, I think I'm getting a pair of high heeled cowboy boots to tuck my jeans in , you . probably would have laughed, but in 1980 it was the fad. Ankle straps were an essential for dress wear. The comfort of ballet shoes and loafers made walking in style a lot easier. This year. being dressy still meant being casual. Sweater dresses, blazers and skirts and sporty cotton dresses were some examples. Everyone had similar ideas, whether it was the same pair of boots, the same sweater or the same Hawaiian shirt. Some people thought they'd be sly and go to a different mall to buy clothes but within two weeks they saw the same outfit walking past them in the hall. In the previous years, the guys' answer to What should I wear? was easy: a pair of jeans and a sport shirt. But this year they took things more serious. Dress shoes instead of earth shoes. baggie dress pants with pleats in the front, dress shirts, and hats were more the attire the guys exhibited. This year brought a lot of colorful, exciting and daring clothes to the fashion. Stacey johnson. David Brock. Kelly Norrid. jamie Clayman. Lynn Hood. Debbie Seitzer, Andy Moore. Fall 25
