In the 80s....

--Moustaches were cool on everyone, not just hipster boys who want to be like Magnum!

--Teenagers did not have tats unless they were homemade.

--Doods wore makeup and got their hair done. The makeup was sometimes sutble, but the hair was NOT. The bigger the better, especially for men.

----The clothes in the 80s came with shoulder pads built in! Yes, I used to have to cut them out of everything I bought, I mean gag me with a spoon, who wants to wear a t- shirt packin shoulder pads?


--Valley Girls were the only group of girls who consistently said "Oh My God!" We have them to thank for the beautiful vernacular every kid has now OMG! OMFG! Like OMG!

---Hot Topic did not exist, therefore you had to find that hard look, it wasn't presented to you in the form of cheap clothes from China, you made your own holes in your favorite clothes.

How to Dress Authentically 80s, and not like a WANNABE!!

Something has to be said about authenticity when you are trying to really capture the vibe of the 80's fashions. All you adorable teens out there who never lived in the 80's but want to dress like you did, this post is for YOU!

1. Eye patches were cool, and you didn't have to talk like a pirate to pull it off. People wore eye patches then like they wear nerd hipster glasses now, not because they need them, but because they think they look cooler in them. Rock an eyepatch and you are surely going to get some awesome looks...












2. In the 80s, shoulder pads were sewn into your clothes, so you had to wear them, it was not negotiable! You would also have your own personal set or sets of shoulder pads for the extra tall and broad look. A lady needed these features to enhance her appearance and give her that extra confidence when she was going to hit the town! Now, it is essential if you want the real 80s look.

Go Wherever

The future in 1981

"In the computer fairyland...it a dream you bring to life..."
"LIVING ON VIDEO" - The keyboards are still awesome 30 years later!

And thus....the term YUPPIE was born

A fair amount of the popular culture of the 80s was a throwback to 50's culture (BACK TO THE FUTURE is a prime example) but also partly due to Ronald Reagan who was an icon in the media. Reagan was about big money and big business...and thus the term YUPPIE was born. It was hip to be a yuppie back in the day, a statement against the counter culture of punks and hardcores. Hip to be square as Huey puts it.

Women in the 80's were not just fashion mavens, they had it a lot harder than our generation. Ladies had a difficult time achieving success in the workplace and were treated poorly. Some office environments required women to wear panty hose and skirts, they couldn't even wear pants!! What no jeans to work? OMG! Latchkey kids were the norm in the 80's more than ever before due to their desire to prove themselves in the work world. Thanks to you ladies, I only have to wear pantyhose when I want to feel sexy! Yay for independence!

Some classic examples of Workin Women in the 80s would be Working Girl, Baby Boom, Mr Mom, Big Business and my personal favorite from 1980, 9 to 5.
