Oh What They Wore! Dress styles have changed a great deal through Oglethorpe ' s history. With an all male student body at the school ' s opening in 1 835, the dress was typi- cal of the period with dark suits, top hats and capes. From this point onward, Ogleth- orpe ' s dress styles basically followed trends in the country ' s fashion. We had flappers in the Roaring Twenties, Sweater Girls in the Fifties, bell-bottomed jeans, mini- skirts, peasant dresses and long hair through the Sixties and the Seventies. Og- lethorpe has seen changes in style, an evolu- tion that has brought us to dress as we do now. Men in the 1800 ' $ dress in dark suits, often with striped pants. Accessories include capes and top hats. Women ' s dress in the early 1920 ' s is char- acterized by large hats, calf-length skirts and wraps made of fox — the entire fox! The 1930 ' s bring in feminine flower-print dresses with drooping skirts, tilted hats worn over carefully curled hair, and gloves. Later in the 1920 ' s women ' s hemlines rise higher, revealing rolled stockings. Hair is cut short and is shingled. 10 FASHIONS
