Eighties fashion was colourful bold and outrageous. Women embraced sportswear, neon Shoulder pads, punk and much more.
Movies, stars and t.v shows lead the fashion trends of the 80's... the most popular of which included: Dynasty, Dallas, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Flashdance, Princess Diana, Miami Vice and Aerobics.
Womens Work wear and men's styles became immensely popular, it wasn't long before women's suits with massive shoulder pads became a happening style.
Casual and workout apparel also became popular. Styles such as Mini skirts, which first made an appearance in the 60's, were worn with with leggings and legwarmers. of course instead of the dress style mini skirt the 80's embraced spandex with there mini skirts and they were all often made with clingy, tight materials. exercise clothes like leotards, headbands and legwarmers left the gym and hit the streets with many people wearing them with everyday clothing like acid wash jeans.
Flashdance fashion embraced the 'off-shoulder' slouchy tops and also neon colours, which are never easy to wear, were everywhere. From jewellery to skirts to make-up. The 80's was crazy about Neon.
Junk Jewellery was very popular in the 80's, with jelly bands and plastic coloured pearls. Also A LOT was worn at once, layered jewellery was often teamed with a pair of lacy gloves, taken inspiration from Madonna.
Overall the 80's is one memorable Decade.
