 F ash ioi nable Fun A I ways in Style T m hings were m quiet as far m as fads went. At ] the begin- ning of the year Spuds McKenzie, the Brittish Bull Terrier that spon- sored Bud Light, was the “in” shirt to wear.

Yet Spuds was not nec- essary to influence teenagers. Other preferred shirts inlcuded: over- sized, tie-dyed, mock turtle necks, and skate “rags”.

Ja- mie Iriel commented, “It’s not what you wear, it’s what you do, how you skate. But I like to dress to skate.” The biggest clothes fad to hit Walterboro was acid-jeans. These were normal jeans soaked in an acidic substance. This fad eventually lead to the acid-jean jackets and accessories. As far as other fashions went, new shoe brands be- came a “must” for ev- ery outfit. British Knights, Spot-bilt, and even L.L. Bean boots became the hottest in town. The latest polls have shown that high- tops remained on the top of the list. g| by Scott Schlesser ?f The tie-dyed shirts popular this year began as a fad in the late 60’s with the hippie move ment.
