Guest Post: What Were They Thinking - Who Inspired the Hottest Fashion Trends of the 80’s?
As far as fashion trends go, it is probably fair to say that no decade is quite as notoriously bad as the 80âs. Can you name any other period where you could get away with wearing skin tight pants one day followed by baggy âMC Hammerâ style pants the next? Not forgetting of course that you could also have been wearing leg warmers, a sweater and a miniskirt all at the same time and probably in electric neon colors as well!
Color was the overriding theme throughout the 80âs and mixing up some of the brightest options together was somehow deemed acceptable, what were we all thinking? Here are some of the great fashion statements that were made during this decade and some of the famous people who wore them and for some reason seemed to inspire us to do the same.
Shoulder Pads
Synonymous with the 1980âs , shoulder pads were THE fashion statement for women who wanted to âPower Dressâ and stand out from the crowd, despite the fact that looking back, they may have looked like an American footballer in a dress when you look at the size of the pads. Joan Collins in Dynasty and even Princess Diana wore their shoulder pads with pride and the look was complete with the big hairdo.
Leg Warmers
Was it really cold outside in the 1980âs, or was there some other reason why they were so popular? Jane Fonda is the main culprit for this fashion faux-pas as she wore them in her workout videos but Madonna and Cyndi Lauper do not escape from blame and neither do the entire cast of âFootlooseâ.
