Fashion in the 80s
In the 1980s, the fashion was striking, introducing outrageous hairstyles, flamboyant clothing, unusual shoes and unique accessories. This is why the 1980s is a memorable era today. Celebrities were recognised for their talent whether that be acting, singing or modelling, just as much as they were recognised for their sense of style.
A particular look that was huge in the 1980s was the mullet hairstyle. This hair-do became the most iconic hairstyle of this 1980s, because it was such a strong look visually. Generally a look that men wore, women also had their hair styled into mullets. Stars like, famous tennis player Andre Agassi, Dirty Dancing’s Patrick Swayze and the legendary Michael Jackson were all known for wearing their hair in the style of a mullet.
Fame the musical made a mark on the 1980s fashion trends. Florescent colours were seen everywhere and anywhere, with clothing such as brightly coloured tights, neon coloured head bands and various items of dancewear becoming increasingly popular. This striking dance wear was even worn by people who were not sporty. One look at continues to be popular today is leggings, which initially were popular as a result of the film, Fame.
In the 1980s, two women who were admired for their sense of style were Madonna and Princess Diana. Renowned for her constant fashion reinvention, Madonna’s look changed from album cover to album cover. Her cone shaped bras, her punky grunger look and her peroxide blonde hair were the most iconic looks she wore. Princess Diana was adored for her smart, elegant fashion sense, and a number of high street shops imitated her designer fashion wear. This then enabled women to dress like Princess Diana.
The 1980s was an era that was experimental with fashion. Fans followed trends which celebrities started. The 1980s introduced some memorable fashion trends that will not be forgotten, from mullet hairstyles to fluorescent colours. Many people hold 1980s fashion parties because of the fashion trends that emerged from this time.
