80s
Fashion
80s fashions introduced hip hop culture, evolved
punk fashions and the yuppie movement. On these 80s fashion pages
you'll see pictures and descriptions of 80s clothing and hair
styles. Many of the 80s fashions sprung from American & the UK
subcultures that have had a great influence cultures around
the world.
80s Hip Hop Fashion:
Adidas jump suits and shoes, multifingered rings,
thick gold chains, kangol, jheri curls. Hip Hop music, fashion
and culture was called a fad throughout the eighties and part
of the nineties. In the 80s Hip Hop was the loudest expression
of african American subculture.
80s
Punk Fashion:
Multicolored mohawks, bleached hair, short spiky
hair, torn leather with chains, eye liner, spike collars, spike
wrist bands. Punk is about rebelling against any and all social
structures. The less real reasons for the rebellion the more
"punk" it is. This extreeme counter culturism inspired shocking
almost
perverse 80s hair styles and trends: close-pin piercings, shredded
clothing, ect. 80s
punk fashion is like nothing else.
80s Rock:
Huge hair, platinum blonde hair, glitter, lots
of make-up, sexual abiguity, tight jeans (bulging crotch). Male
80s "hair bands" were all very feminine looking and driven to
do nothing but get wasted and have sex. Hair bands
drew as many women fans as male despite their teased hair, lipstick
and womanizing.
80s Yuppie:
Ladies wore spike banges heavy cheek make-up, both
men and women wore shoulder padded business jackets. Sweater
vests were popular as were sweaters tied loosely around the neck
over button down shirts. Yuppie men were clean shaven, prim and
egotistical snobs drunk on dreams of high society and elitism.
These fashionable trends have evolved but have
much of the same spirit was couter-culture, decadence, rebelion
and/or ego worship that they began with.
