	I had a green twinset, - a cardigan with matching short-sleeve jumper....Very sedate ! Wore this quite alot at college, where it was considered 'suitable dress', but later went much bolder with a tomato red PVC raincoat, with silver colour press stud fastening. Gwyn

	We didn't have fashion when I was in my teens, we had clothes!!!! So no real disasters there. But when I was in my 40s in the 80s I had a pants suit (I think that is what it would have been called, trousers, long sleeved top with a dropped scoop neckall in one and mine was in a black and white animal print. See what I mean.
