In the ‘80s, bright colors, crimped hair, parachute pants and acid-washed jeans labeled the entire era as the most unfashionable, yet memorable, era of all time.
Although present-day fashion has brought back modifi ed versions of the more popular trends, there are some that most people can’t help but laugh at as they fl ip through photos from their past.
Before the invention of the straight iron, the crimping iron was invented where the bigger the hair the better.
Aqua Net was a girl’s best friend when trying to achieve the “fl ipped-up curled bangs look,” which could only be accomplished with an entire bottle of hair spray.
And if your hair wasn’t down, it was often pulled up in an extremely high ponytail located in the middle of your head or to the side.
Aqua Net was also a key essential in achieving the teasedout “rocker” look, popular among both boys and girls who listened to bands like Poison, Duran Duran or Jon Bon Jovi. With metal music at its peak in the ‘80s, t-shirts with your favorite metal band were popular among boys of this era. Preppy boys often choose the “Zack Morris,” surfer-style haircut, which required a large amount of gel in order to conquer the complete “wave” look. Striped Gotcha or Hang Ten shirts and “way-above-theknee” OP shorts were also popular among teenage boys.
And who could forget the cute little alligator found on the popular Izod Lacoste shirts or the Converse High-tops made in such bright colors. It was almost damaging to the naked eye.
Reebok “Pump” and LA Gear sneakers with bright laces were popular as well, as bright Jellies sandals were often found on the feet of millions of girls.
After the ‘70s era of skimpy clothing, girls still found ways to reveal skin with oversized off-the-shoulder sweaters and ripped jeans. Even in hot weather girls couldn’t leave the house without two or three pairs of socks on, pulling off the ultimate “double-sock” look.
The movie “Flashdance” caused leggings, leg warmers and oversized t-shirts to leave the gym and become more than just workout clothing.
For those Madonna-wannabes, the lace glove and leather jacket transformed some girls into spitting images of the material girl herself.
In the accessory category, the more slap-bracelets you could fi t on your arm the better, along with Hot Loops as bracelets and necklaces and that bright, multicolored Swatch watch.
Even though some of ‘80s fashion might bring back nightmares for some people, there are some fashion trends that bring back good childhood memories.
For those who grew up in the ‘80s and can appreciate some of these trends, remember to “have a bitchin’ summer.”
