The mall was a place where students could ro to hang out or find new fashions. Photo by H. Lutz. makes fashion statement Whether the style de- noted dressing up or dressing down, it was cer- tain that stylish students could be seen living the phrase “Dressed to the nines!” It started with a turtle- neck, possibly a sweater, too. and then some baggy pants of dark denim, and ended with penny loafers or mock Oxfords by Eastland or Bass. What was it? Why, it was that perfect outfit letting eve- ryone know what the cur- rent styles were. When school started, a neater, dress-to-impress look was evident. Black became a dominant color in the wardrobe of some and browns and greens lingered over from the fall. Lynsey Asiley, a jun- ior. commented, “My fa- vorite outfit would have to be my all-black one. It’s very comfortable, it’s loose, plus everyone can see me.” For girls, there was al- ways that need for one last accessory, such as a scarf. A scarf could be found in any color, shape or size to add that fin- ishing touch to an outfit. Earrings to the shoulders could also make or break the image. Guys found ways other than scarves or earrings to “dress something up.” They looked toward bag- gy cotton slacks with a casual dress shoe to make their statement. Some even reached for a cropped sport coat to help make the right im- pression on that certain girl. On those days when dressing “down” was the mood, hand-painted or collegiate sweats did the trick. Rccboks, Keds. Air Nike or British Knights were the tennis shoes that adorned the feet when sweats were worn. If the weather was just a little too warm for sweats, tat- tered jeans and oversized shirts fit the picture. No matter what it was or when it was worn, the outfit expressed who a person was. David Shir- ley, a junior, said, “I’m fashion-conscious be- cause I want to look good. I feel better about myself when other people take notice and compli- ment me about my clothes. Lynsey summed up the impression an out- fit can make. “It tells a lot about who you are and what you think.” 20 Fashions
