The 80’s were hip, they were cool, they were totally over the top and “big hair”. Let’s face it 80’s clothes rocked and now their back!
Yes, believe it or not, the 80’s fashions that we all remember are making a comeback.
In February of 2009, New York Fashion Week featured some retro 80’s clothes designs and people are going nuts over them. Why shouldn’t men wear makeup again?
Pegged jeans have even shown up in a recent J. Crew catalog!
See if some of these pique your memory:
- Leg warmers - totally sexy
- Parachute pants - anyone up for a little breakdancing?
- Acid wash jeans - just remember to rinse them first
- Member Only Jackets - gotta have the shades to go with them
- Swatch watches - that rhymes
- Reebok Hightops - Air Jordan and Nike took over
- Jelly Shoes - oh yeah, gotta love those jellies
- Kamikaze shirts that had sleeves that would zip off like a t-shirt length or like a muscle shirt - didn’t Ralph Machio own some of these?
So, any of this make you want to run right out and “upgrade” your wardrobe?
Yeah, I thought so. Here’s some recent stuff for sale on eBay to help you make up your mind:
