Some fashion designers abandoned history, some borrowed from it, while others tried to design the future. Designers abandoned all convention — and their creations were interesting to say the least. https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236866979 2018-03-01 12:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236866979 Shying away from the tightly fitted clothing of the 1970s, men in the 80s opted for loose and comfortable fabrics. Activewear was a popular choice among young men, combining sweatpants and sweatshirts with sneakers. By the late 1980s, Nike had skyrocketed to worldwide success thanks to the popularity of athletic wear among men. https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236867268 2018-03-01 12:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236867268 Bright colored accessories like sunglasses, bangles and hoop earrings were a necessity. Teased hair, loud makeup and neon were an important part of this style https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236867533 2018-03-01 12:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236867533 https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236868840 2018-03-01 12:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236868840 The AthleteJordansTrack suits - Swishy fabric, bright colors, and geometric patterns.Sweat bands - They were put to good use. Wear with the track suit or a dance aerobics outfit.Cutoff sweatshirts - Think Flashdance. Throw this on over a leotard and some tights!The RockerHeadbands - Grab a long piece of fabric and tie it around your head, leaving the tie hanging down on one side, or opt for a bandana.Leather and stone washed pants - The pant of choice for rockers.Layers - Layer up. Jacket on vest, vest on tank top, and layered necklaces.Cutoff sleeves - Cut the sleeves off of a t-shirt to easily achieve a rock-star shirt.Jackets - Leather jackets, stone-washed jackets, or vests work great; especially if they're studded, fringed, or frayed.Studs - Sport some studded jewelry, like arm bands and chokers. Think Billy Idol.The Pop StarLeggings or leg warmers - Madonna and Cyndi Lauper popularized this look, one that is often associated with '80s style.Horizontal strips - Blondie and others often wore horizontally striped shirts on stage.Fingerless gloves - You can find lace or fishnet fingerless gloves for very cheap!Denim or acid-wash jackets - Do you remember the part in 13 Going on 30 when the six chicks all have brightly-colored denim acid-washed jackets? Just like that.Shoulder pads - A regrettable trend from the past.Tutu skirts - Madonna often rocked tutus over her leg warmers.The CosbyPrinted, old man sweater - Something so horribly unfashionable, a hipster would wear it.High-waisted jeans - Fitted, but with a very high waist.Loafers - Call it the grandpa look.Granny ChicFloral dresses - You know, like a granny would wear.Oversized, knit sweaters - Emphasis on the oversized. Wear these over your floral dress.Granny boots - This is a thing, I promise. Just look them up; they are lace-up boots with a low, square heel and a pointed toe.Brooches - Pin them onto your granny sweater!Lace socks - These peeked out over boots, coming to about mid-calf.All throughout, the '80s were a maximalist time, featuring big hair and lots of brightly-colored makeup. Go overboard! https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236869329 2018-03-01 13:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236869329 https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236869643 2018-03-01 13:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236869643 Men’s dressing styles changed very little in 1980. One noticeable development for men’s fashion was that it was becoming more acceptable for men to wear sport coats and slacks to events that previously required a suit. https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236869974 2018-03-01 13:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236869974 Basketball shoes and athletic-licensed apparel was extremely popular. Everywhere you looked you saw at least one person wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the emblem of their favorite team. Nike was preparing to make its move as a major player in the fashion industry. https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236871069 2018-03-01 13:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236871069 https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236871599 2018-03-01 13:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236871599 In the 1980s, it's morning in America, with broad shoulders framing power ties and suspenders. Bold colors and graphic patterns convey a new national confidence. https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236872260 2018-03-01 13:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236872260 Fashion in 1985 was so wide-ranging it’s almost impossible to cover it all in a few paragraphs. To boil it down to its essence, the fashion world had four major hubs: Paris, Milan, London and New York City. The style you liked dictated which city you were buying your designs from. All four were quite different from each other. The only real constant was a wide shoulder. Everything else, color, fabric, cut, was fair game. https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236872404 2018-03-01 13:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236872404 https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236872729 2018-03-01 13:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236872729 https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236873402 2018-03-01 13:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236873402 played one role in the 80s https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236874427 2018-03-01 13:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236874427 https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236875134 2018-03-01 13:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236875134 https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236875984 2018-03-01 13:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/7h23vpo4zgtv/wish/236875984
