Bright and Happy 1980s Fashion1980s Fashion


It is very easy to recognize the fashion of the 1980s. 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. 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. 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.


The more of these flashy bangles a girl could fit on her arm, the more hip she was. Remember the popular male fashion accessory, those very brightly colored shoelaces? Hats decorated with flowers or other types of prints were also very popular during that time. Probably the one distinctive concept that would define 1980s fashion would be uniqueness.1980s Fashion
