Everybody I knew wore knee socks under their jeans, and loafers,
no sneakers.

When I was in college, everyone had a pair of white bucks.
Didn't matter if you were male or female. Everyone had a pair.

Leg warmers inspired by Flashdance. But the silly thing was the
girls wore them over jeans.
Hair barrettes threaded with ribbons inspired by Olivia Newton
John in Xanadu which was cute.
I never did any fads though since we couldn't afford trendy
things. Looking back at many fads, that may have been a good
thing!

I will admit to having worn leg warmers over jeans. In my
defence: A) It was the 80's ::) , B) It was winter and the
lecture halls at college were never warm, C) Even in my 20's I
already had arthritis in my knees...It still looked funny but at
least I was warm! ;D

I think socks are always a thing. We were big into the pompom
socks. I'm not actually sure they even made ankle socks for
girls without pompoms. When DD was in middle school, they all
wore mismatched socks. I never noticed till one day DD was
having a fit because the only 2 clean socks she could find
matched. ::)
Other fads in elementary school (70's) were knee high white
boots and mood rings. One year, we all seemed to have one year
the small purses with the wooden handles and the fabric covers
that you could button on and off. I have no idea what they were
called. And of course bell bottoms and decal tshirts.
For 6th grade, the big rage was gaucho pants. The first day of
7th grade, half the girls were in slim leg jeans (flared had
still been more popular the year before) and the skinny gold
stretch belts. And our jeans were rolled at the cuff to show off
our YoYo shoes! Loved my YoYo's. They were platforms with a
whole in the heel. 8th grade was the year of the Jordache jeans
tucked into boots. Very irritating to live in Texas where it is
really too hot to wear boots until November.

I’ve never been able to match socks more than once or twice a
year in my life. It just can’t be done.
When I was maybe 12 the girls would all safety pin the seams of
their jeans at the calf, creating “skinny jeans” when they
didn’t exist. And there were these plastic rings (bracelets)
you could get maybe 5 of them for something like three dollars.
Everyone had at least five on each arm of different colours and
sometimes we would put one part of the circle through another
circle and kind of bend them out so they were attached to each
other and wear them like that.
My eldest sister and her friends went through a satin pants and
jacket phase. My sister couldn’t get a satin jacket.
I was too young to remember it but I’ve seen the pictures. I’m
so glad that hasn’t come back although some of the work out
leggings I see young women wear do look similar.

The teenager who babysat my children on the odd night out made a
deal with me to take in the calves of her pants in return for a
few hours of babysiting.

I remember the year that pinstriped jeans were cool. I was so
excited to get a pair!
Then the shaker sweater... Often worn by girls with a blouse and
necktie. And matching socks, of course.
I had forgotten about friendship pins. That brings back
memories!

Does anybody remember that big comb which had a long handle that
was worn in the back pocket of your jeans (handle sticking out).
Double kudos if the comb had your name on it.
(70's)

Also 70s, Angel Flight pants. No pocket for much of anything.
Very "streamlined".

I remember when a lot of the girls got Dorothy Hamill haircuts.
I was so envious. My parents wouldn't allow me to cut my hair.
Not even as a teenager. But then I had the long hair for the
popular Farrah Faucet haircut...
And yes, I had a soft pink (fake) satin baseball jacket that I
loved.

Bermuda bags. Part of the required Preppie uniform.
