the 80’s were a great time. The creation of MTV revolutionized fashion, the music industry and even how we watched TV. For others, it was nothing but bad hair, worse clothing and music that often had more to do with machines than talent. We take the former approach and relish the excess and outrageous fashions that the 80s managed to make mainstream. We didn't accessorize , we "excessorized" to the max!
The clothes worn in the 80s depicted people who were trying to find themselves. They looked for ways to express their creativity and individuality.
Oversized Tops,Leg Warmers, huge earrings, finger-less gloves, parachute pants, member only jackets (cliques), over sized tops, neon colors, spandex, fish nets, jelly shoes, acid wash and So much more was introduced during the 1980's.
Flashdance was a popular eighties film that had a big impact on womens fashion with its funky styles that brought professional dancewear such as leggings and leg warmers to the streets. Colorful leotards, ripped over sized sweaters and sweatshirts worn off the shoulder and flashy eighties boots still look great today when put together right. The movie Dirty Dancing is a great example of this trend.
