74 Fashions of the 80s

Relive the Days of Mullets and Shoulder Pads

— May 7, 2009 — Fashion
Time to bring back the 80s: if only for a few minutes while you cycle through this cluster! The 1980s were a time of permed hair, shoulder pads and disco. From Ray-Ban sunglasses to rattail hair, it was a fashion period of extremes for both genders, and it's making quite the comeback!

This cluster includes shoulder pads, bodysuits, skinny jeans, leggings, toesocks, tracksuits, legwarmers, mohawks, mullets and a whole lot of denim.

Implications - In one form or another, the 1980s has been popular for decades because of its glam-cool and lighthearted attitude. Since the economic downturn, recent wars and revolutions, many consumers are even more attracted to the outrageousness that the 1980s are known for.
