Am I the only one that thinks that some of the 80s trends are slowly but surely coming back??

[@Clariccy]

no because the 80´s generation never went away neither did their styles

[@cupcakeislit5681]

+Clariccy Well true

[@bobobobo3632]

The fashion week in Paris said last feb/march I think that it is coming back. Love to mix 80's cloths with modern and I really like oversized cloths and I love sweat suites so comfortable specially 1 size too large :)

[@thekingjovan7070]

Its coming back now specially on 2018

[@robicarm]

They forgot parachute pants, flannel shirts, wide hip belts, skin tight jeans, members only jackets, Bermuda shorts, jelly sandel's, jelly bracelets and butterfly clips (that's right it started in the 80's folks), mirrored aviator/or horn rim sunglasses. Morten Harket from A-Ha was my dream.

[@rachelspendlove4042]

I graduated high school in 82 - every girl had a perm, every guy had a mullet and yes workout gear was worn with stilettos to school, believe it or not.

It made a comeback in the 2000s, so it should return again in the 2020s. Trends happen in twenty-year cycles.

"Lots of makeup" and "dramatic, colorful makeup" are very, very different things.

[@CaptchaNeon]

Camila Gisselle *Not in the 80’s, that was a blurred line* 😂

[@Liutgard]

I got married in '83 (yes, I'm old) and I remember the decade a little too well. You forgot those drop-waisted calico farm wife dresses that were fancy wear for 4 or 5 years. Flats with stirrup pants. Early mullets and layered mall hair- remember Jessica Hahn> I had hair like her, until she hit the scene and I was so shocked by the whole mess that I went and had my hair cut. (It looked like Krystal from Dynasty.) Evening soaps were big, and there was a LOT of glitz. Bob Mackie's stuff was EVERYWHERE. I also remember iridescent makeup- I had a lipstick and nail polish pair that were a light magenta, until you turned, and then they were chartreuse. Pleated jeans were big too. And in 78-82ish, Gunne Sax dresses and skirts were still really big, as were Famolare or Cherokee shoes. What am I missing? Not sure. But parts of the 80s styles were pretty cool. Others- not so much. But I prefer today, where you're pretty much able to wear anything and be in style. (Said while wearing yoga pants and a Doctor Who t-shirt. ;-) )

[@applestix3491]

Good list😉

[@marloflanagan7421]

I miss the 80's too! I graduated HS in 84. That being said, I miss my 80's figure to go with it!

[@bookmistress7142]

So true! I wore a "prairie skirt" to a school dance and thought it rocked!

[@Liutgard]

Her. :-) I had a shiny Qiana disco-styled dress, and I snuck it and a pair of stacked heels out of the house one day, so I could go spend the night with my friend Jeanne and go to teh dance at school. (My parents had said I couldn't go.) I felt very sneaky and I think that made it more fun! Also had that shiny shiny roll-on lip gloss!

The things I remember from the 80s were: side pony tails, off the shoulder tops with a tank top exposed underneath, the look of having a patterned seater match your leg warmers (over jeans not for a workout) of the same pattern, and a button up shirt buttoned all the way to the top with an elaborate pin at the top. None of these were mentioned.

[@carolinevictory1414]

Remember the brand Esprit??? I rest my case...

Why not now? Someone must be the first ;-)

[@evrosiee]

god i want to perm my hair so badly

[@freespiral]

Great list! But I think big hair, shoulder pad or scrunchies should've rather been at the top. The athletic wear was worn specifically by fitness freaks and the younger crowd while abovementioned trends filtered through from young to old and was unavoidable whether at school, work or parties.

[@toreswe]

The "younger crowd" pretty much defined 80's fashion, so...

[@barbara2607]

I agree big hair should be #1. Most people wore big or unique hair styles EVERY DAY for most of the decade. None of the others even come close.

[@bookmistress7142]

So true! And the Pat Benatar look.

[@torigoulding7077]

Simone Janse van Noordwyk big hair was mostly in the 60s in the 80s they had wild hair

[@chellybabyme]

I agree with you. The athletic Trend was not so prevalent except that there were people that always wore those headbands. Not the entire garb

[@djbigpean]

Jheri curls & high top fades, Chuck Taylors, Pumas, Sweat suits, Kangos , lumberjack & 8 ball jackets!!

[@just_cade]

I wish I was around for the 80s. Everything was so over the top back then, fashion, hair, music, everything. We've been on a creative decline since then, but I think the 2010s have started us on the way back up.

[@annemariecandyflip6531]

The past is the past, it will never come back....and when it is, it's in a different way.....the 80's were the 80's, 2020 is soooo different. And all that so-called 'throwback fashion' is just because the designers and trendsetters are running out of inspiration....they simply copy and mix it with a new item > so lame.....

[@evrosiee]

i agree with you totally! creativity is slowly making its way back i believe

[@tackyman2011]

Batwing sleeves. Huge sweaters, leather bowties, parachute pants, Izod polos, long t-shirts with giant graphics like CHOOSE LIFE, glacier glasses, white leather sneakers worn untied, leather pants. Vans checkered sneakers. A pair of bright yellow overalls with your Van Halen baseball style concert tee.

[@myheartiswriting]

The good thing about shoulder pads was that in a lot of ways it was girl power. Women were finally really hitting the workforce hard and had a college education. As it is less politically correct now, it is/was a man's world. To be able to be treated equally to men, women essentially had to look like men, that was the thought process at least. Since the toughest or most manly men generally had big, broad muscular shoulders, that was the one thing women could mimic with clothing. Hence, strong, broad, muscled looking shoulder pads. I just remember being a younger and at one point trying on one of my moms suits and my god those things were awful.

[@gojewla]

That is an interesting theory. I always though the idea was simply to look more angular.

[@kristenungstad3252]

Michelle Tabisz Women also wore shoulder pads during WWII. The men were away fighting, so women had to fill their civilian roles, such as working in factories, mining, forestry and so on. Women needed broad, almost manly, shoulders to carry both a woman's and a man's burden.

[@wanderingokamikitsune]

Michelle Tabisz eh, I always wondered why about those shoulder pads as a kid to now. I was born in 83, so at five, I wondered what the reason for them. think they were still around in the 90s too. yuck.

[@povyi9394]

Michelle Tabisz lol agreed

[@MsMinoula]

I remember trying to fit my child arms in shoulder padded garments of the early 90s and I still want to throw up. Thirty years isn't enough time for such disgust to fade.

[@MSP10julia]

[@andreaanonymous5474]

If you want the definitive eighties preppy look, one of the most popular eighties movies of all time was Pretty in Pink, you should throw in a picture of Andrew McCarthy and James Spader in their look through out that entire movie.

You did forget to mention 2 of the biggest trend clothes of the 80’s - “Parachute Pants” and “Spandex pants” like the black ones worn by Olivia Newton John in the movie “Grease” and the Parachute Pants worn by “Johnny” in the hit movie Karate Kid. My girl friends and I would wear these out to Dance Clubs in the 80’s. Would LOVE to see them if you ever update this! 😃

[@jamesr1703]

I remember that jean jackets with the collar turned up were so cool. The preppy look defines the 80s. LaCoste V-neck sweaters with a white t-shirt underneath, Guess jeans, hair gel, high-top sneakers, woven belts, pleated pants, polo shirts, Wayfarer sun glasses, mini-skirts of all kinds, slim leather ties and sweaters tied and worn over the shoulders. Great times!

[@lansesteiner3563]

Members only jackets, Benetton sweatshirts, parachute pants and friendship pins/bracelets

[@cayliefuller7668]

Cheesy 80s music is my guilty pleasure.

[@kdesigner07]

They forgot to mention Member's Only jackets, Jordache jeans, and Kswiss shoes.

[@robinsss]

once hip hop became mainstream Kswiss went down hard.............preppy clothes were killed by 90's hardcore hip hop fashion

[@lindadies111]

Yes!! I loved my KSwiss!

[@janettemcgregor4100]

Yes bro , the Kswiss with the green stripe , I loved those , not on freshly cut grass though .

[@JOKERSLADY713]

I also remember from the 80's KEDS, British Knights & L.A GEAR.

[@davidsouthey4004]

Basketball shoes, double-denim, bomber jackets.

[@bonniecreevy2642]

A lot of these are 90s. But what a great trip down memory lane.

My fave was the "Slacks" skirt, the short skirt with a zipper in the front and side pockets, like they were men's slacks. I had a black one at age 14 which i wore as part of my school uniform, man i loved that skirt, that look, i don't know if i see that type of skirt in the shops anymore. I also loved the hip belts. Wore those in college. We also had mackintosh coats which we bought from thrift stores. And stripey suit jackets with shoulder pads and rolled up sleeves.
