Fashion Fads

The 80's gave birth to many new fashion crazes which people were enthusiastically following - many of these could be worn all at once in a fun look. These included:

-Leg warmers (popular in clubs)
-Dancewear inspired attire, such as leotards
-Statement accessories such as ray-bans, swatches and headbands
- Crucifix necklaces and jelly shoes (Madonna's influence was strong)
- Miniskirts and skin-tight jeans
- 'Members Only' jackets (branded leather jackets with epaulets)

Hairstyles were a very big part of the 80's - as a form of self expression and individuality. Perms dominated the female trends, and for men, mullets evolved into a more refined look with the use of hair products.
