When I was 14 (1967) I went to Europe. School trip. We were told NO pants. I just remember wearing my light blue raincoat ALL the time. Of course it came in handy in the rain in Rome. Monica

I was recently reading 'The Gabriel Hounds' by Mary Stewart, which is set in Lebanon in, I think the '60's (1960's that is). The narrator is English but has been living in America and at one point describes herself as 'dressing like an American'. I was curious how differently American and English women might have dressed at this time. Is this another way of saying that she dressed informally? Or wore trousers a lot?
