what ' s hot and what ' s not S tyle flair, what ' s in, what ' s out, were all words to describe the fashion scene. To some, clothes were inconsequential and the daily trip to the closet was just an inconvenience. To others, clothes were not only a topic of conversa- tion but a way to spend the weekend and more often than not the way a person dressed deter- mined the social group they were in. High school was a time when most students learned their :arves and belts add much to this isual but dressy style which is worn ' many of the female students and is odelea here by sophomore Heidi fashion sense whether it was from [)arents or peers. Many weekends were spent roaming the malls either window shopping or trying on outrageous outfits that only a job or a serious plea bargaining scene with mom or dad could pay for. Punkers, preppies, vogue, and casual, were not only a type of style but also a category that people were often put into by the kind of clothes they wore. Punkers could often be seen wearing parachute pants with rhinestone studded belts. Although illegal for school, parachute pants were often paired with sleeveless shirts made of a mesh material. Many considered this look a fad that would soon fade. The guys were not alone when it came to styles that started strong Sophomore Larry Larsen exhibits one of this year ' s fads by wearing parachute pants with a shirt to match. but soon came to pass. Neon light colors were a bright addition to many wardrobes. Hot pink, electric blue and fluorescent green and orange could be seen all over the halls. From socks to tee-shirts and headbands, girls chose these outfits that were definitely attention getters. The preppie look was an enduring fashion that most students wore just to be comfortable. Polo shirts, oxfords and pleated pants were not only stylish but also prac- tical. Forenza became a common word used by many. Baggy pants, scarves, and big v-neck sweaters were present around every corner and they could be seen on store win- dows and display cases throughout the malls. All in all, fashion was up to the individual. There were no set guidelines and doing your own thing was the best style to follow. A. FASHION 53
