obby socks, bell-bottoms,<br />
platform shoes, mini-skirts<br />
and fatigues - fashions<br />
come and go like money and<br />
Robert Redford, but the students at<br />
<strong>Idaho</strong> dressed to suit their unique<br />
personalities. Though most students<br />
tried to keep in step with the<br />
current fashions, they always kept<br />
comfort in mind. Consequently, a<br />
wide variety <strong>of</strong> styles could be seen<br />
on campus.<br />
In keeping with comfort and<br />
fashion many students, men and<br />
women, liked the bullcy hand-knit<br />
sweaters as a basic for their winter<br />
wardrobe. However, for the first<br />
time in over a decade, blue jeans<br />
were no longer the fashion essential.<br />
Instead, dress slacks and cords<br />

were the mainstay in men's and<br />
women's clothing.<br />
The shift from blue jeans reflected<br />
the overall trend <strong>of</strong> dressing<br />
better. No longer were jeans, a t<br />
shirt and tennis shoes the common<br />
style <strong>of</strong> dress.<br />
According to Kristie Harden,<br />
manager <strong>of</strong> Jay Jacob's at the<br />
Palouse Empire Mall, "students are<br />
more conscientious about how they<br />
look." "Students are shopping more<br />
for outfits. They're more pulled<br />
together - they're starting to think<br />
more about accessorizing," she added.<br />
Unlike other years, there bad not<br />
been a dramatic change from last<br />
year's fashions to this year's. The<br />
ruffles and flounces were still<br />
popular; although, they had been<br />
toned down and tailored. Preppy<br />
may have been a little stronger but<br />
it wasn't overwhelming.<br />
"Students like the preppy look,<br />
but they're getting into a little<br />
more color," said Harden. Bright,<br />
rich, full colors seemed to be a<br />
major trend this year.<br />
Another new trend this year was<br />
the women's "tuxedo" style for<br />
everyday or evening wear.<br />
Overall students were dressing<br />
better. They were dressing for comfort<br />
and for themselves. "That's<br />
basically what fashion is -<br />
dressing to suit your own personality,"<br />
said Harden.O<br />
