1. Fashion of the United States of America in the 80s

2.

American fashion of the 80's is not like any fashion that
preceded it – and in many ways, none of the styles that follow
it has anything like it. It was a decade filled with bright colors,
hairstyles, tight and loose clothing, and colorful accessories.

3. Warm tracksuit

Technically, this is equipment for sports, but no one
has ever worn such tracksuits for going to the gym,
because they were warm, stuffy, and uncomfortable

4. Clothing with shoulder pads

Women wore coats, raincoats, suits, shirts, blouses with
shoulder pads, which turned graceful female and girlish
figures into broad-shouldered powerful men's figures. And it
was considered very attractive

5. Faded denim jeans

The 1980s was the era of
acidic clothing , with
fashionable guys of both
sexes boiled down with
bleach and wearing all the
denim at once that was
present in the wardrobeshirts, pants, shorts, jackets

6. Neon colors

The colorful women's
costumes looked
like neon signs that
could be seen from
afar.

7. Bag on the belt

Young Americans of the eighties wore bags on their belts
mostly for beauty, gloss, and trinkets. "Fanny pack" - the
teenagers called this item, that is "fun bag".

8. Spandex

The popularity of polyurethane fibers was born thanks to the
male stars of rock and roll and metal music of the 1970s. a
decade Later, elastic spandex clothing was worn by all young
women in America.

9. Dance wear

You don't have to be able
to dance to get off on
the dance floor of a
night club. Regardless of
whether you were a
great dancer or not, you
had to dress in
accordance with the
fashion that made the
world famous musical
dramas "Dirty dancing"
and "flash Dance".

10. And in conclusion I want to say:

Idols of the generation Madonna and Modern Talking,
Michael Jackson... to immerse
yourself in the fashion of the
80's with your head, just look
at their photos or video clips. A
party in the style of the 80's
promises to be truly colorful
and diverse! The mass style of
the 1980s can be expressed in
one word: "too" - too tight, too
Frank, too bright. But isn't that
the beauty of that time?
