Welcome to the 80s, a decade marked by big, bold fashion trends, from sky-high hair to voluminous silhouettes to ornate Memphis patterns. From Jerry Hall to Madonna, relive the best fashion moments of the 80s. As for her favorite moments in 80s fashion pop culture, she says everything Grace Jones has ever worn, like the looks that Azzedine Alaïa created in 1985 for her character May Day in the Bond film A View to Kill. Whether you’re hitting the slopes, the beach, or the gym, neon is the instantly recognizable fashion trend of the 80s that adds some flair to your fit.
With the boom in home training videos and blockbuster hits such as “Flashdance” and “Dirty Dancing,” these shoulder and belly baring models were an integral part of the 80s fashion scene.
What was popular for clothing in the 80s?
Sarah Ferguson and Diana, Princess of Wales, were both particularly interested in skirt suits for their more formal events in the 80s. Because of their construction, stirrup pants were trendy in the 80s for sports activities such as aerobics, ballet and dancing and finally penetrated the everyday fashion look. I like how people say they don’t like the 80s, it’s too much and “too loud,” but I see that there were standard items in the 80s that modern closets will never leave. The music television channels (MTV) and the first generation of personal computers (1st Apple Computer), which were introduced in 1988, significantly affected the look of the
80s fashion.
Worn by music and movie stars such as Bon Jovi, Madonna, Cher, Tom Cruise (Top Gun) and Morten Harket, leather jackets were a must in the 80s.
