Vickers observes.

“High school students are getting more dressed up than their counterparts of five years ago,” claims Vickers. “They wear slacks, dress pants, trim knit shirts, dresses, skirts and blouses. Their clothes seem very businesslike, in many cases reflecting how they will dress when they graduate and pursue a career.”

Along with this serious trend are more whimsical swings in fashion. “The layered look, sometimes with as many as seven layers — T-shirts, vests, shirts and overshirts — is part of the popular ‘punk’ look,” Vickers notes.

Light-hearted imitations of ’fifties styles — white shirts, narrow black ties, narrow black pants and shoes and white socks also are showing up on high school and college campuses. Flared mini-skirts are worn by many coeds and a variety of modified “spike” hairstyles is seen wherever young people gather.
