10 Worst 80s Fashion Trends That Keep Coming Back!
Oh how we love our 80’s. It is an era that is not only remembered for excessive but for being eccentric. It is the last decade where people weren’t afraid to have a bold personal style. Although with the good, there comes the bad.
In no particular order, here are the 10 worst 80s fashion trends that keep coming back:
1: Acid Wash Jeans. Why? No one may ever know. It was pretty clear to some twenty years ago what a horrible fashion statement this was, yet now we see today’s fashionistas dressing in them. It is essentially blotted bleach all over your jeans. Why is that cool to wear? Rihanna, Victoria Beckham, Kate Bosworth… put them away.
2: Crimped Hair. Every once in awhile a celeb will crimp her hair for whatever reason. Christina Aguilera had that awful poodle afro in the 90s for an award show. And apparently she is back at again! It’s unhealthy and damages your hair severely. Avoid at all costs- unless there is a themed 80s party.
3: Neon, in any form. Wendy Williams just wore a blinding green dress to the Daytime Emmy Awards that made me shake my head. Neon colored jeans is not flattering on any figure! Joe Jonas keeps wearing V-neck neon T-shirts that make me scream. Yes, a bolder color can be a great accent but let’s keep the highlighters to our textbooks please.
4: Leg Warmers. What were we thinking? This has come back to taken many life forms. First, it was just a literal translation which I guess didn’t sit well with consumers (go us!) to then scrunching the sock over the jean and over the shoe. For the fall it was a lot of long, thick socks that peaked out of the boot top. Oh yes, let’s have sock cleavage now. Socks, long or short, should always be an item worn for practicality not fashion.
5: Spandex. I know with the whole “yoga” craze that people wear the lounge pants. However, I am more opposed to the leggings—especially Capri leggings. They are only a trend that skinny, long-legged women can wear which is not the majority of the population. I see so many females trying to wear this trend and I just want to tell them they can’t! Don’t do it!
That is part 1 of 2 folks. What do you make of these trends reappearing? What do you think should be on the list?

It amuses me how mean people are let people dress how they want to who cares about your opinion of anothers fashion choice its called freedom of self expression
@sallineanna - So isn't it my "freedom of self expression" to give my opinion?
