Fashions of the years 1972 to 1981

Fashion was very important to me in my years at Howalton Day School. there were grouchos, bellbottoms, hiphuggers and hotpants. There were also cownecks,hoopearring which are always in style. There were doublebelts in the 1980's. I had this bad groucho suit and a bad cordaroy suit. With the groucho suit there was a cowneck with boots. The cordaroy suit came with a vest. In 1981 I wore blue pants and a nice top and doublebelt.
