Our clothes. Why did we think that looked good?

kerchiefs. When I was a kid (50s-60s), my mom wore kerchiefs when she rode in the car. I remember even Perry Mason's Della Street wore a kerchiefs- and she always wore the latest styles, regardless of the cost. So, when was the last time you saw some lady wearing a kerchiefs?
 

Since I went to Catholic school the only thing we were allowed to wear to school was our uniform. Every couple of days the Nun would make you kneel on the floor to make sure your uniform touch the floor. Little did they knew was when we left school to walk home we Hiked up our uniform to make it shorter. Of course on the weekends we wore mini skirts !
 
Jeans at school? You have to be way younger than me! I graduated high school in 1964, and we weren't even allowed to wear slacks to school, never mind jeans. Girls had to wear skirts, boys had to wear slacks, shirt and tie, and a jacket or sweater. Absolutely no sneakers.

That was back in the days when the bad kids smoked cigarettes and the extremely bad, delinquent kids drank beer.

The "in" thing my senior year was mohair sweaters, which were fuzzy and shed all over the place...

We had to wear skirts, and boys had to wear pants that weren't jeans, and a shirt with a collar -- no ties, though. I graduated HS in 1963.
