Subject: 80s Clothes in Style Again

Written By: Criz on 05/06/03 at 01:22 p.m.

It's quite obvious to me that a lot of fashionable items in the 80s are also in style at the moment. Not any people think back to the 80s and think that the clothes were cool - but a lot of stuff is around now. I've seen all this stuff in the past few months:

Stone-washed jeans
Torn Jeans
Flat court shoes (I have a pair with a little butterfly design on them!)
Net/Mesh tops
Ra-Ra skirts
Neon colours

What have you guys noticed?

I couldn't believe it.  The other night I was watching Fox news and the female anchor was wearing a bright blue t-shirt untucked with a thick black belt at her waist.  I thought maybe she was channeling Pat Benatar or Joan Jett.

When I was flipping channels, I saw Mandy Moore wearing an off the shoulder sweater on some network.

Well, she also wore leg warmers in a music video last year.
(I think it was a Elton John video... and a HUGE error since the video was supposed to take place in the 1970's)

Oh no!  Not the "stone-washed" jeans!!!  Those & "acid-washed" jeans are major fashion NO-NO's!!!!  Awful!  >:(

::) (Oh lord, please don't let those "painter cover-alls" come back....PLEASE!!!!)  :'(

Oh yeah - I love off-the-shoulder tops! They're so flattering. I have quute a few, some casual, some going out tops. I wear my v-neck jumper with one side 'off-the-shoulder' too!!

Velour track suits
High, skinny heels worn w/ jeans
Skinny belts

And 80' trends brought back to life:
Thick, black lashes
Thick, goopy GLOSSED lips

I have hope now that Levi's will bring back their 505's and 512's! Tapered Leg! Tapered Leg!!

Forgot "Candies" shoes !!!

Lol! I can't wear any trousers that aren't slightly flared at the bottom, they just don't suit me.

'Housewife' style stiletto court shoes are also back. ( I want a pair of 'pointy' shoes - but I can't pull them off!)

Yes, its looking good again for some fashion looks.  I even wore one of my rah rah skirts out to a club last Sat night!  (Yes Criz, you know I have them!!)  Ive also noticed some very cool polka dotted dresses with full skirts, very 50s-ish that also was in style in the 80s.  Its about time!! Is it possible clothes are going to be FUN again like they were in the 80s?  I hope the grunge 90s look is finally going to be put to a well deserved burial..

Hey Todd - Haven't seen you round here for a while! Yep - I know what your like with your ra-ra skirts ;D You know I don't think much to them! I prefer all the mini-combat style skirts that are around atm! Still - I love a lot of the 80s clothes, even if they're considered fashion 'no-no's' now!

Yes,  sadly it is true.  Yesterdayland.com has indeed shut down.  And there are no immediate plans to start it up again.  Like you, I also am going to miss that site a lot.  One cool legacy that Yesterland.com has left me, is..Ive made alot of new friends who share my same interest in past decades' music and fashions.  RIP Yesterdayland.com

I am only 15 and have always been into wearing 80's style fashions.  Not only have I started most of the recent fashion trends at my school, but my clothes have been noticed by everyone for their originality.  But I have a question, Is there any place online to find some good 80's style clothing?  Also-  Were arm warmers used at all?

Stores on Melrose in L.A. are selling alligator shirts for about $70. They even have used ones for $50. Anybody remember these?

I'm seeing lots of pink and green clothes in homage to 80s preppy style.

Heck yeah.  I think the alligator used to be IZOD logo.  Ralph Lauren started that logo thing with his Polo horse and rider design.

I swear I saw a Members Only jacket not too long ago.  Those were fun;  a zillion colors to choose from (mine was a be-yoo-tee-ful dusty pink).   ;)
