Bright And Happy 1980s Fashion
Author: Pierre Perissel

When you think back to the 1980s they are many things that come
to mind. There is something that is highlighted in our minds
when we think back on the 1980s, and that is the 80s fashion.

It is very easy to recognize the fashion of the 1980s. This
cannot be necessarily said of the fashion from the previous
decades, because they share common elements that make them hard
to distinguish from each other. It is safe to say that the
1980s fashion is in a completely distinct class of its own.

Even though one can still find boys that are wearing tube socks
today, during the 1980s tube socks were the in thing to wear for
girls and they wore it with almost any kind of outfit. However,
just plain old tube socks were not enough during the 1980s.
They had to be a ruffled to make the girls look really in step
with fashion.

Movies played a huge part in influencing the 1980s fashion. Do
you remember the movie Flashdance? That movie defined the new
1980s fashion look for young girls. Suddenly everyone had to
wear large sweaters that exposed one shoulder with the gym bra
strap exposed over the shoulder.

The girls also wore their hair in ponytails that sat on one
side of the head.

Stonewashed jeans were the very big fashion item in the
nineteen eighties. They had to be so skintight that you always
wondered how people got into them in the first place. These
jeans that were worn by men were accompanied by very colorful
and decorative shirts or T-shirts.

Leg warmers were also very popular during the nineteen
eighties. Once again, very well-known celebrities influenced
the fashion choices of teenage girls through a music video that
they made. Girls were wearing leg warmers with shorts, skirts,
and many other types of pants.

As far as jewelry goes, one of the very popular items was the
bracelet. And of course these could not be just any bracelets;
they had to be flashy bangle bracelets. The more of these flashy
bangles a girl could fit on her arm, the more hip she was.

The 1980s were truly a very colorful time. Remember the
popular male fashion accessory, those very brightly colored
shoelaces? Do you think anybody would dare wear them today
without looking like a complete fool?

Hats decorated with flowers or other types of prints were also
very popular during that time. That is one of the 1980s
fashion trends that continued into the 90s.

Probably the one distinctive concept that would define 1980s
fashion would be uniqueness.
