Just read an article on the return of '80's fashion as evident in the music industry and some of the fashions at the Grammy's. What do you think about 80's Fashion? What did you love and what did you hate?

cavaricci Z's. The pants of choice for the discriminating dance club Guido of the 80's (and some 90's leftovers)

This is not a good thing. The 80's were such a fashion failure - big hair, big shoulder pads in everything, leg warmers, disco ARGHHHHH!

Long sweaters with tights is about the only thing I remember from the '80's that I remotely liked. I hate shoulder pads and big hair.
Edited to say: I also hated the Peg Bundy pants.

Whooooooaaaaaa!!!!!
When did 80's fashion go OUT of style?
I am so out of the loop when it comes to these things.
Although, it explains the strange looks I get in my nut hugger acid washed jeans.

All I really remember from the 80's was my Debbie Gibon hair and layering multiple pairs of socks on purpose. There is no way that I'm doing that again.

80s alternative was awesome, The Cult, The Smiths, REM, English Beat, PIL, Souishe and the Banshees, Modern English, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Police...
80s hairbands sucked (and still do)

just rent that Kevin Bacon movie where he moves to podunk USA and dress like they did...don't recall the name... Footloose... My teenage daughter's theatre group just did Footloose on stage. As we were sitting in the audience watching the prom scene, my best friend leans over and says "Didn't you wear that same dress to your prom?" Talk about a scary flashback!

I remember piling on the rubber bracelets like I was Madonna, wearing neon socks, rolling my jeans, putting friendship pins on my shoelaces - I will not be bringing any of those styles back.
