80′s Clothing

The 80′s clothing fashion was a unique and fascinating era of fashion, both men and woman experimented a lot in this era and many “fashion rules” were crossed, both sexes were looking for individuality.

The formation of MTV revolutionized 80s clothing, the music/TV industry and even how we lived our daily lives!

80′s clothing fashion was patterned after more than a few intense looks, among them; vivid colors, wild complex patterns and spiky punk rock edge. Due to the popularity of the 80’s Heavy Metal Hair Bands, the acid wash ripped denim jeans and leather jackets style was very popular as well for men and woman alike.

Short and quite often spiky hair and layering of clothing was a popular combination worn by woman in the 80s. Women also tended to wear their shirts and dresses with shoulder pads to enhance the look of their shoulders, often giving them a football player type of look.

Thanks to the new music style known as hip-hop, clothing such as Adidas jump suits and sneakers, multi-fingered gold rings, thick gold neck chains and kangol’s became into fashion with hip hoppers.

    definitely i agree with you,its a classical and golden era of clothing unlike modern era where they use fur of animals and hurt the species.the 80′sera were purely based on traditional clothings with a little bit of stylish and rock and roll kinda dressing.even woman used to prefer spiky hair and boot cut shoes to attract men.denim jeans were really popular and worn by almost every men and the jeans which we were now are completely different from the yesteryears.even though we progress towards in a forward direction of attire.there is a still a attraction or impulse in the 80′s clothing which even nowadays attract youngsters to know more about it.

    80′s is the period not for known best for the music but for the fashion also. I think the this period has given the fashion industry a new trend and we all are much inspired of this, most of us love would love to live in the 80′s.

    Ya you are absolutely correct about the fashion that time i mean 80s. Truly speaking, I liked the fashion of that era. Though they experimented about different styles but the result was much better. both the styling of clothes and hair was great.

    I must agree with this one, 80′s fashion were unique it combines the modern + past fashion styles. And right now the 80′s fashion is going back to life again and I’m happy about it because I’m a fan of the 80′s fashion and also a great advocate. What i really like about it is the hair of women that can also be duplicated by men making them looking more fantastic. Thanks!

    The fashion in the eighties was very unique. It was really a fascinated era as rightly said by the author. Fashion in the eighties had quite common things. Women tends to wear formals while some men stick to their casuals. It was a great era and i actually enjoyed those era’s of fashion.
