fashion in the 80s

Despite the fact that the 70's was already the beginning of a revolution
in the world of fashion, it has nothing to do with the fashion of the
80's where brightly colored pendants, accessories that do not go
unnoticed and garments of all kinds, from tight to loose, with haircuts
and hairstyles that did not go unnoticed.

1980s fashion in Britain, America, Europe, and Australia had a heavy

emphasis on expensive clothing and fashion accessories. Clothing tended
to be very bright and vivid in appearance. Women expressed an image of
wealth and success through glittering costume jewelry, such as large
imitation gold earrings, pearl necklaces, and clothing covered in sequins
and diamonds. Punk fashion began as a reaction against the hippie
movement of the last few decades and the materialistic values of the
current decade. The first half of the decade was relatively subdued
compared to the second half, which is when the iconic color scheme of the
1980s became popular.

striking and vivid colors, the ideal is that they attract attention and
you can even opt for bright or neon colors. As for the fabric, you can

shirts, were as much a fashion for girls as for boys and were worn wide
with the sleeves rolled up.

extremely loose cuts. In the original tight-fitting, zipper-closure style

synthetic nylon material. In the 1980s, "parachute" may have referred to
the extreme looseness of the pants. These are also known as "Hammer"
pants, due to rapper MC Hammer's signature style.

hippies, but mustaches remained common among blue-collar men.
