1980's Fashion

The 1980's. A pioneering decade for fashion ads; and fashion itself. The young, hipsters of the 70's were now growing up and looked towards more defined lines and structures to wear. It seemed as if every twenty -something year-old woman was wearing high waisted skirts and buttoned up shirts whilst every twenty-something year-old man was wearing shorts and pop-coloured blazers. Other than these trends, there were many others that enjoyed their popularity in this decade:

Power Dressing trend was most popular at the end of the decade.

It carried on through to the early 1990's.

Pictures and more after the jump.





Madonna's experimental fashion style was praised and adored in the middle years of the decade.
Brazier's as outerwear, underskirts and fingerless gloves was all a rage at the time.



The hip-hop lovers of the time were all dressed like this. Without doubt.
Run D-M-C pioneered the rope chains skinny jeans and Adidas kicks.

The fashion trends of the decade were really varied from daring barely-there dresses to skinny jeans and Adidas trainers. And based on who the target audience was, the advertisements for the trending styles would have to be relevant to the clothes.
