TOP 80s FASHION TRENDS



As far as fashion is concerned the decade of the 80s was the most scintillating one. The 80s had it all in vibrant colors, the MC Hammer pants , leg warmers, a sweater and a miniskirt all at the same time (and that too in neon colors).Taking a brief walk down the memory, here are the top 80s fashion fads
Shoulder Pads
Shoulder pads can be viewed as the worst of the top 10 80s fashion crazes. Digital polls have shown that an overpowering majority of people rate shoulder pads at the bottom of their list of favourites. The question everyone asks is “Why do we have to make our shoulders look bigger?”. Whatever the reason may be, the pads were worn with conceit. 
Mini Skirts
The smaller it was the better it turned out to be… everyone loved them, women and girls. Although Denim was most popular material used for it, a huge number of other materials like knit and leather too were used. The miniskirts were often worn along with leggings.  Of late this particular fashion has made a comeback. Well men weren’t the only people in the 80s who were not wearing any miniskirts and of course elderly women.
Leg Warmers
This is another of the fashion trend that did not click in the 80s.Despite every girl’s drawer had a couple of them, the leg warmers was not a very sought after item on a girl’s list.
Huge Earrings 
Huge earrings that hung to your shoulders were a big craze in the 80s. Various jewelry collections were all the fumes and if your huge earrings didn’t touch your shoulder, they weren’t considered to be big enough.
Fingerless Gloves
This was another 80s fashion trend and today it is coming back to style. Fingerless gloves were a big vogue from romance enthusiasts to punk-rock fans.
Other huge cults of the 80s were Parachute Pants, NITS and Oversized Tops
