They were stone and diamond washed, faded or just rolled up to reveal high tops and socks, but a few stuck to the tradition- al rolled-down look. They were the biggest fad and hottest style around : blue jeans. Practically everybody owned at least one pair of jeans. They became a staple of our wardrobes and a part of every- day life. Many liked them just because they were comfortable, others because they matched everything and were fashion- able. Junior Heather Lofflin said, They almost have characters by themselves. No pair was ever like others after being taken home, washed and special touches added to them, such as bleach- ing, or cutting out the knees. The style of jeans changed from tight, dark, Jordache to a loose-fitting, faded look. The price had also changed. Those old J ordache usually cost around 9530 a pair, while traditional Guess cost anywhere from S40 to S70. The brands also changed. Instead of main name brands being fashionable, it was loose-fitting, faded styles that were bought. - ot only were there denim jeans and jackets, but also a wide variety of clothing arti- cles and accessories. There were denim purses, mini-skirts and tight-fitting, long denim skirts with slits in the back. 'Iyvo arti- cles to come out of this fad were heavy denim shirts and denim boots with huge pockets on the sides. Plain old jeans have been in style for 15 years, said Sheryl Ninci, math teacher. People were just getting bored with them and wanted to put more style into it. Although denim everything was the hottest craze, no one knew if the denim fad would continue to grow or just fade away. fCopy by Kris Matlock! -. 'c
