Fashion 1984 Wherever you look you see it. It ' s not just at OU; it ' s everywhere. Without it what would life be like? It adds flair, appeal and substance to ev- eryone ' s existence. It provides for happi- ness, imagination and heightens any occa- sion. Most of all, it is and will always be a necessary element in every society. Fashion . . . it ' s everything you see. It comes in expressions of Fatigues, Angora sweaters, Striped jeans. High-top sneakers, Izods, Oversized sweatshirts and Narrow- legged pants. This was the year where virtually every style was in fashion. Nothing is more ' out ' than being obviously worried about being ' in, ' stated Mary Augusta Rodgers, fashion feature writer of McCalls Maga- zine. Fashion is a costume party ... a matter of timing, self confidence and most impor- tantly, personal taste. This explains the di- versity in the variety of fashions seen in ' 84. Classic clothes were brought out of the closets with an interest in old bowling shirts, padded-shoulder sports coats, pearl and sequined cardigan sweaters and rhinestone jewelry. Since fads come and go so fast, according to Rodgers, recycling has necessarily set in. She adds, The only way to be safe is never to throw anything away — remember what happened to Mickey Mouse Watches? The already established cowboy look re- mained with western boots, skirts, vests and pants along with the preppy button- down oxford cloth shirts, turtle necks, argyle sweaters and penny loafers. The sporty look remained on the scene with rugby shirts, cut off T-shirts, sweatshirts and sweat pants, bandannas and jean jackets.
