To Dressier Look For 80 ' s CO C o to O The fashion scene had taken a dras- tic turn around. Suddenly, students were dressing up more. The dressy look was in, yet the casual feeling was de- manded by students and more ties and skirts appeared on PM ' s scene. For guys, comfortable front-pleated pants and plush velour shirts were pop- ular. Corduroy pants and bulky, multi- colored sweaters remained stylish as the federal government mandated that school thermostats be turned back to 65 degrees. Skirts made a dramatic comeback this season. Full skirts, straight skirts. pleated skirts, slit skirts, many styles of skirts were in. Many skirts were wool including brightly colored plaids. No fashion wardrobe was complete without a blazer. Colorful wool, plaid blazers were the most versatile types as several solid color skirts and pants were easily coordinated with them. Shorter wrap-jackets were also fash- ionable, especially with skirts. Still into jeans? From Sassoon to Cal- vin Klein to Levi ' s to Pierre Cardin, de- signer jeans were a hit with many PM students. 28 Fads With her hair French-braided, a double wrap belt, and slit jeans, senior Dianna Mohr is in style.

Pete Ruscher, junior, displays the casual look wearing a velour shirt and front-pleated pants. These shoes are a step in the right direction. Clockwise: hiking boots, cowboy boots, ankle wrap sandals, slides, Nike tennis shoes, top-si- ders, and high-heeled clogs. Freshman Rod Ingalls grins at the sale price of the sweater vest.
