The word in fashion this year was the “past.” Cut-off pants, tye-dyed shirts, turtle necks, and r.cardigans were favorites r , -,:Vu%f both girls and guys. Al- though these fads came close, they did not equal the popularity of back- packs and plaid. One could not change classes without seeing at least ten backpacks and fifteen dif- ferent kinds of plaid. Other preferred fash- ions were flashes from the past. “You can wear something from your par- ents’ closet and not look strange,” remarked Emily Sullivan. Polo shirts, jeans, oxford shirts, big- knit sweaters, and mini- skirts, although not as popular as they were in previous seasons, were still a part of almost every girl’s wardrobe. Stacie Murray replied, “It is a blend of the past and the present.” One of this season’s biggest changes was from buck shoes and sebagoes to keds. Also, black pat- ent leather shoes and Brit- ish Knights were worn with no socks at all. The “hottest” items in girls’ jewelry were leather- strapped watches, big ear- rings, gold or silver brace- lets, and patterned scarfs. Both girls and guys con- tinued to wear “friend- ship” bracelets, a favorite of Walterboro teens foi over two years. “Fashion is anything you want to wear,” Nikki Moore stat- ed. “Surfer” cuts an the “Bob” were again popular hair styles.
