Fashion — The Ultimate Concern What am I going to wear? — a common dilemma which faces many students each morning. There is however, a large variety of clothing styles from which to choose. Some students wore parachute pants, bright shirts, and spiked hair for the breakdancing effect or some wore sweaters which are as popular as ever. Oversized sweaters were a big hit to be worn with partially faded jeans which were slightly short in length. For a more comfy” look some of the student body choose to wear t-shirts, col- Right. Feathered hair, a turned up collar, and a firing ol pearls — a very fashionable look worn by lunior Brenda Kimberlmg. Above. Again this year, argyle sweaters were a real hit to be worn with wool pants and a peasant blouse. Debbie Klein smiles with satisfaction knowing that she is in style. lege sweatshirts, and sweats. Accessories, of course, added to every style, no matter what it was. Extra long earrings and brightly colored belts which were wrapped around the waist twice were among the most commonly worn. Pumps of various colors or Mr. Rogers tennis shoes finished off the outfit stylishly. As always, when styles of clothing change, so do styles of hair. This year, fairly short hair was more popular than longer hair. Most girls used bandanas and hair ribbons to tie their hair back to give them a very casual look. On the other hand, length was the word to describe men's styles. Although the hair in the front remained short, the hair in the back was allowed to grow longer. So no matter what OHS students wore, it was easy to see that much thought had gone into putting together just the right outfit. As the times change, so will the styles and someday our children will laugh at our spiked hair just as we laughed at our mother's beehive. 28 Fashion
