The love of music and fashion seeped over from the 70s to the 80s. America was establishing a new wave of living. The Personal Computer was introduced and so was the World Wide Web. That began the changes of how we all communicated with each other. Pac Man and Rubik's cube were favorite things for people to pass the time with. Music was at an all time high with influences like Michael Jackson, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper! There awesome times were paired with awesome new styles...
THE BABES
1980s were so much more than just finger-less gloves and everything neon, there were plenty of other fads that people wore all the time that were a little less abrasive...
Denim was a very popular choice. Denim jackets and jeans were often a favorite combination for both Men and Women! The great part about this time in history is that things started becoming a lot more androgynous. You'd also find anyone wearing overalls, chuck taylors, and patterned sweaters. Shoulder pads were very common in Women's blazers. That "boxed out" look was very pleasing and attractive. Prints with horses, kittens, hearts and rainbows were very popular to wear with sweaters!
The biggest thing that the 80's is known for? The color. This was a very colorful time period. Girl's weren't afraid of bright makeup and blue mascara! Jewelry was chunky with solid colors; triangular and round usually. High waist-ed jeans were common, along with the acid-wash style! Finishing off your look with a pair of jellies was the best way to go!
THE HOMEBOYS
The men were more about the finer details during the 80's. Cuffing and rolling jeans was very popular. Gold chains were common during the beginning of this time period, but the fad didn't last very long. Turtlenecks were also a great choice. This is also the time when "popping your collar" was considered very cool. Chuck Taylors were a staple piece for anyone stylin'!
Men were, and always have been, about pairing the basics together but giving a personal twist on it. College T-Shirts were both comfortable and made for a great statement piece. Alongside the collar trend, boys would layer collared shirts to give that duo tone in their style! The fabric they were was much softer and snug in the 80s.
