Get The Look 1980s
What was the 1980s Fashion Like?
Womens Fashion
Pants were a very popular option for all women. Denim jeans were common, they came in many different styles with wild bleaching; dyeing and even some really expensive designer jeans came with pre-made holes in them.
The mid eighties and onwards was a period of bold experimentation. Bright neon colours were very popular and rocking brand names were extremely important.
Mens Fashion
Men’s clothing in the 80’s consisted of soft fabrics. Soft fabrics were everywhere and clothing was very slim fitting compared to today.
Active wear was a very popular choice for men and boys. Matching sweatpants and sweatshirts were common throughout the era.
Teenage boys wore lots and lots of denim. Denim jackets were complimented by matching denim jeans. “Double Denim” as known today.
Athletic shoes were becoming a huge fashion symbol, climaxing with the popularity of Nike Air Jordan shoes in the late 80s.
