Fashions Suits, Skirts, Clogs, Perms, Disco Lori Smith Girls ' fashions for 1979 were the tailored look of suits and blazers combined with the casualness of smockish-type shirts and Levi jeans or cords. Slacks with tucks at the waist were popular as were the versa- tile cowl and turtleneck sweaters. A vest added just the right touch to any blouse with a tie or bow at the collar. Three-piece suits including skirts seemed to be preferred over dresses. Skirts in greys, browns, or plaids were gathered at the waistband and hemlines were at mid-calf. Spike heels, rockers, leather boots, and crepe-soled shoes were the latest in shoe styles. For summer, sandals with suede- over-canvas straps were available in many colors. Makeup was used to create a natural, healthy look. Enjolie, Charlie, Smitty, Rive Gauche, and Love ' s Baby Soft were pop- ular perfumes and colognes. Perms and crimps were in for hairstyles, along with feather- ing, but many chose to leave their hair long or let it grow. Other accessories were narrow gold belts, accent or stick pins, and hair combs to wear. Most guys wore jeans or cords with a shirt or tee-shirt. Accent ties and vests were also worn. Some guys ventured to try an Afro or permanent for their hair. Quiana dresses were worn by girls for formal clothing. Guys wore three-piece suits or a tux of any color of the rainbow, de- pending on the occasion. Since the Saturday Night Fever craze, teens have boogied at the discos in slacks, flashy striped shirts with gold threads, and disco dresses. To ward off the cold, suede and leather coats were in style but they were not nearly as pop- ular as ski jackets, which were available in a wide variety of colors and styles. Ski jackets also tended to be less expensive. Fashions change as fast as your moods, so what you like today, you might not like tomor- row.
