T Colts Only This school year was certainly a great one for some terrific fads to be started. With the influence of movies such as Flashdance and of rock groups like Def Leppard we got many new fads. The off-the-shoulder-torn sweatshirt and the British flag designs were introduced and made a big success for todays fashions. Some of the best self -put together designs included one or more of these: baggie stripped jeans, Peter- Pan boots, Members Only jackets, narrow knit ties, walking shorts and argyle sweaters along with many other articles of clothing and accessories. Although some of the fads here at West Stanly may be passing fashions of today, many may never go out of style. No matter the trend of the times, one thing is for sure, West Stanly students are always in style. FASHION STUDS.
