Fashions AITer Over The Years IT was only 0 decode ago when nhigh fashion consisTed of Thigh oner ponTs for men and mini skirTs for women. Men couldn'T find ponTs long enough To cover Their ankles, while wom- en couldn'T seem To find dresses shorT enough To uncover Their Thighs. Times have changed, and so have fashions. By The mid-sevenTies, females had Troded in Their dresses for hip-hUgger jeans and boggy blue farmer's shirTs. Men who enjoyed leg onching were under The ThreoT of exTincTion because 0 female wearing a dress was sel- dom seen. Perhaps This is why men reverTed To wearing eye coTching ponTs wiTh bold plaids or brighT sTripes. WiThouT o doubT, These years also become leisurely os jeons replaced dress- es and leisure suiTs replaced The TrodiTionol cooT and Tie. The years ThoT followed were marked by much The some sTyle of cloThing; buT by The IoTe sevenTies foshions'begon To Take onoTher Turn. Dresses and suiTs were dug ouT of The for cor- ners of The closeT while people and poiiTicions were digging Themselves ouT from The econo- my Toword 0 new conservoTism.

On The college scene, cowl neck sweoT- ers replaced TurTle necks, down jockeTs re- placed Tweed cooTs, and bell boTTom pants were replaced by sTroighT leg jeons. By The end of The decode, T-shirTs no longer were worn under onoTher shirT. RoTher, They be- come 0 form of odverTising; from rock groups, To business esToblishmenTs, To fovoriTe beers, and even The besT bars in which To drink Them. The eighTies opened up onoTher decode, and along wiTh H, 0 new sTyle called The preppie look . This new look consisTed of plaid skirTs To The knee, sTyIish blazers, ond booT-heol shoes. For The men, sTroighT-Ieg ponTs Tcover- Tng The onkley norrower Ties, and Three piece suiTs become 0 complemenT To The woman's cloThing. And, of course olligoTor shirTs be- come The fovoriTe casual wear for boTh men and women. BuT for Those who couldn'T afford such sTyle, The eighTies remoin 0 Time for blue jeans, T- shirTs, and Tennis shoes.
