[@habituallinestepper2883]

This guy was probably having the time of his life in the 80s and the presenter keeps making comments that offend him but he's being classy about it.

[@sweatpantsprincess3239]

Fully agree.

[@theshizknit]

She’s super tacky

[@WhenYoureAlexa]

Basically. I cringed when she said "tacky" and he corrected her with expressionist. A lot of their experts love the time period they studied or worked in, so it's disrespectful to knock the style like that. You could call it colorful, fun, eccentric.. all would get the point across without being rude.

[@RG-rm5zm]

Yeah I was kinda offended she wasn’t embracing the moment he’s known for, but she’s critiquing it in a very narrow minded way

[@utoobr10]

I saw that, too. But we chalk it up to being young and tactless, forgive & move on. He's the expert and he helped define the era. Sadly, I'm not sure how one defines the current era and is it even fashion? It seems every era has a definitive something, like 50's poodle skirts etc, 60's tie dye etc, 70's rainbows and unicorns (& ugly wide collars and leisure suits).

[@Erudessa22]

It broke my heart when the woman said "you're not pulling it off," and you could tell it took the wind right out of her sails... :( Don't be that person. You can be critical without being a jerk.

I know people mock the '80s, but it was a time of expression, a time of big ,bold and out there. I prefer it to today's fashion of casual drab and fear.

[@gennicles2200]

I love this series but Steph needs to learn how to show the looks off better, like don't slouch so much and for formal looks try to pose a little classier, and be more open minded to different decades. The 80's is obviously Montgomery's passion, and I don't think he too much liked it when she called the look tacky.

[@hollyolsen945]

Yeah I feel the same way. She should have thought about what she was saying bc it's kinda TACKY not to think before you speak.

[@AnantyaV]

Well, it was tacky. I'm glad she called a spade a spade

[@vivienneseargent842]

@@AnantyaV haha i agree!

[@Theresamonet]

He obviously didn’t like the comment. But he is not her boss. Her job is to give her reaction and experience in the clothing, not to appease him. Mr. Montgomery did not invent 80’s fashions. He really has no right to be offended by someone else’s opinion of a day glow green leg warmer and headband set.

[@elluh2679]

I agree, like think before you talk people like she said that right to his face and Montgomery’s passion is for 80’s style and she called it tacky right to his face, it’s one thing to be rude and another to have an opinion without being bratty

[@shutupreallynow5741]

People still go to the gym in full makeup. It's just a different style. Instagram eyebrows instead of neon pink lips.

[@therealJamieJoy]

I lived thru the 80s, was both a makeup artist and a model during that time period. These are ridiculously tacky and cliche outfits that were NOT the norm of either high fashion or every day person looks. Why can't anyone get the 80s right? UGH. They always choose the most extreme and weird looks.

[@Erudessa22]

They don't claim that it was. It's "iconic" looks, referencing the movies, icons, and pop culture of the day.

[@therealJamieJoy]

@@Erudessa22 thank you for pointing that out. My problem is that in many other videos made by other groups, magazines, influencers, and so forth they all seem to hone in on the same sorts of looks. Not a lot of people were wearing neon, and that trend was actually quite short and mostly limited to socks and earrings. Most people did not wear gigantic bows in their hair. Many wore bows, but not huge, oversized ones, for example. When other eras are presented, many of the looks are more accessible, less ridiculous, or cartoonish and stylized. I wouldn't even consider all these looks iconic. But I appreciate the response.

[@therealJamieJoy]

@@justinpop hahahaa cute! :) I graduated HS and began college in 82 so I was spared a lot of the teen trends. Also had uniforms in HS so that took care of most of that. :D

[@Erudessa22]

@@therealJamieJoy I get what you mean. I don't think it's exactly ideal for a woman who states that she's trying to find things to incorporate into her day-to-day looks!

[@gabybiz6089]

@Jamie Joy hey it would be cool for you to make a video on your take on the 80's 😁🙏 My mom grew up in the 80s and I would enjoy to see the more realistic or everyday makeup & fashion!!!

[@rvandenburg8360]

I was glad to see the Madonna look on you. I thought you had a strong resemblance to her even before I watched this video. I noticed it in the iconic 50's looks. Especially when you dressed as the starlet (Madonna did a Marilyn look in the 'Material Girl' video) You looked like her long lost daughter!

[@rebekahp4083]

R Vandenburg I thought the exact same thing watching the 1950s look!

[@theautistic.teacher]

I thought the same!!!

[@GabbyPotter]

[@thecompendium9607]

The aerobic look was WAAAY off. It should have been a super thigh high cut leotard over the unitard, and the hair should never have been in a 60's/70's style flip. Gloria was an 80's icon, but (just like Anna Wintour now), her hair was decades in the past.

[@janedonovan9815]

Thank you I was thinking exactly the same. No one wore a boy short leotard in the 80s

[@tiffprendergast]

Kirsten Sawyer rip Gloria

[@Mikki220]

Why didn't they give her an actual workout video to do?

[@justpassingthru3186]

A few of these outfits were way off.

[@sweatpantsprincess3239]

Why have someone who neither knows anything about nor likes anything about the 80's?

[@sweatpantsprincess3239]

See, yeah, someone was honest and told her she didn't look that comfortable and confident in it. We can tell she's only saying what she was told. I'm getting that she is very early seventies naturally, frankly, get there for this model's sake.

[@glimmerlicht]

[@ellengregory8002]

I loved the 80s, that was my decade, but people tend to exaggerate the outfits now. Yes, you might have seen some of these looks, but they all weren't necessarily that commonly worn, at least not for very long....unless you were in a music video that is. I remember a lot of girls emulating pop stars. They did get mocked if they went too far though. The big hair, makeup, shoulder pads and jewelry, yes, definitely.

[@alphabettical1]

My parents are full 80's kids, but the culture clash highlighted their need for me to be a 'pretty' girl. What I find interesting about the exaggerated outfits is that although they all include time-heavy makeup and hair, they do look...bad! As in they look like they're for the wearer, not the viewer. That must have been something. Would your experience agree?

[@ambermeyer602]

I love the business look to be honest 😂

[@AnantyaV]

No serious business woman would have worn those glasses and shawl with that outfit

[@dianabuck7310]

"I'm not going to wear this makeup on a Wednesday at the office." Funny, that looks exactly like the makeup I wore today (Wednesday) at my office. To be fair, it was "Rock and Roll" day. But I did have the boldest face out of anyone.

Stef, I just found your videos and I'm having a blast! I grew up in the 60s/70s and was a young adult in the 80s; holy smokes your looks take me back! What is funny is that I thought at the start of your video, "Wow, she could be Madonna's daughter!" I think I wore every one of those styles, except I had great cheekbones and always played them up. Make-up in the 80s was fabulous! I think I heard you say that some of the looks were coming back in (what!). Alas, what was once chic on me is now antique on me. Loved your 50s video, too!
