Even if you can remember some of the many 80s fashion trends, you may still want to think about doing a little bit of research before deciding on your 80s fashion wardrobe for your party. When it comes to 80s fashions, there are many individuals who seem to remember the same thing. While this is okay, a little bit of 80s fashion research and you could be more than just an average partygoer; you could be one that stands out or is complimented for your wardrobe choice. That should include these aesthetics.

Perms, perms, and more perms. Whether it was big bangs, big curls, or big feathers, 80s hair was just big.

Lycra changed the world, and the 80s made sure it knew. Everyone was wearing spandex. Men, women, boys, girls, it didn’t matter. Spandex was the material of the future, and everyone was in on the trend.

When folks weren’t wearing skin-tight leggings, they were wearing jeans. Whether you bought them that way or cut them out yourself, every pair of jeans had the knees torn out. They are called ‘crazy jeans’ today.

Now commonly referred to as mom jeans, these high rise cuties made a statement back in the 80s and still do today.

Over the last few years, famous television series and movies set in the 80s have gained popularity in mainstream media and this sensation has seen the revival of major fashion trends of the 80s. The fashions of the 80s are one that often initiates nostalgia for a more simplistic time, and wonder for the new generation who never got a taste of it. These reasons are actually why many individuals throw themed 80s parties and its fashion appeal is on the rise.
