80s style clothes

More recently, clothes in the style of the 80s were worn exclusively for theme parties. Now the elements characteristic of this era create the design of modern everyday dresses. No wonder they say that fashion returns in 25 years. It's time to look back and find out what was at the peak of fashion in the hot eighties.

In the 70s, the population of the former USSR could not indulge in bright outfits. The wardrobe consisted of factory-made items, the colors of the fabrics were gray and inconspicuous, and the cut was simple and loose. Women had the same or just similar skirts, blouses, suits, and even outerwear.

In the next decade, such music trends as:

• rock;
• punk rock;
• Disco
• rap.

Transformed and the stars of the Soviet stage. Young people began to imitate their idols. In addition, foreign products began to leak onto the market, which was fundamentally different from the boring, uniform, domestic clothing. All this led to the fact that the fashion literally “exploded”.

The monochrome palette was replaced by a motley collage of high-waisted jeans, bright leggings, boiled skirts, faux leather jackets, red jackets, angora sweaters, colorful t-shirts and many other bold styles.

Do not forget that the conservatism of the Soviet Union has not been canceled. Young people listened to their favorite performers, hiding in the yards, and new-fashioned trends were not welcomed in educational institutions. And this further incited the girls of the eighties to wear defiant clothes, make crazy hair, paint lips with red lipstick, and eyes with purple shades.

Do not get hung up on the images that pop up at the mention of Soviet youth of the eighties. In the markets, the products were not of the best quality and best design. For women it became a real test of taste and style the change of monotonous factory things. Unfortunately, not everyone coped with this test and sometimes looked more ridiculous than stylish and sexy. The world fashion of the 80s is very diverse.

This image was chosen by women who were not afraid of frank and provocative outfits. He was characterized by shades of green, yellow, red, checkered fabric, with a floral or leopard print. The main elements of clothing are a mini-skirt, leggings, jackets with wide shoulders, jeans, corsets, fishnet tights. All this is accompanied by sequins and rhinestones.

The icon of the style of this trend in fashion was Princess Diana. Here, pastel colors, floral motifs, peas and a cage are more characteristic. Lovers of romantic images and admirers of the beloved princess wore fluffy or pencil skirts, sheath dresses, and high-rise trousers. Blouses and evening dresses were decorated with ruffles and waves.

In the 80s, interest in this image arose, as women began to seek high posts and positions, and in films, popular actresses played the role of business voumen. Girls liked to wear loose skirts, jackets with wide shoulders, coat dresses, high-waisted trousers, turtlenecks. For business clothes, classic colors were suitable - black, white, red, shades of blue or gray were allowed.

A beautiful figure for fashionistas of the eighties was part of the image, so women polls were doing aerobics and shaping. Sportswear was worn not only in the gym. She was also worn in everyday life. She was in bright colors with a contrasting print in the form of stripes, flowers or peas. Denim, stretch, lycra - the most popular fabrics.

Among young people, it was fashionable to wear clothes that reflect their affiliation with a particular subculture. Their formation was influenced by the direction in music. Gothic and preppy styles were also popular.

To better understand what fashion was like in the 80s, just watch the American film "Back to the Future" or find photos of such idols as Madonna, Sophie Marceau, Grace Jones.

Among Soviet stars, Alla Pugacheva, Barbara Brylska were considered style icons. With taste, the outfits of Raisa Maximovna Gorbacheva were always chosen.

Going to a corporate party in the style of the 80s, you can resort to several tricks:

• The female silhouette should be voluminous from above and narrowed down. A sweater a couple of sizes larger with a bare shoulder in combination with a bright bra, tight tights or leggings - and the image of the eighties is already ready.
• Any jacket can turn into a thing from the past, if you sew in shoulders in it. They are easy to do on their own.
• The lower and upper parts should be as contrasting as possible. Neon shades, yellow, green, red, purple, pink ... If you come up with an outfit where each item of clothing and accessories will be different colors, the image will automatically remind you of the 80s.

• A denim miniskirt and a jacket, a lace top and bright tights are the hallmark of the fashion of that period. It is not difficult to find such clothes now; many girls have them. With this outfit, bright makeup and fleece on her head, the girl will be the “star” of the 80s-style party.

• It is impossible to reproduce the image of the eighties without a voluminous hairstyle. Whatever the clothes, the head should be combed or lush curls. Owners of straight hair will come to the aid of an iron-corrugation, curling iron or curlers. A win-win hairstyle will be a high ponytail on the side.For a short haircut, a headband is ideal.
• Gloves with cropped fingers, large sunglasses and a headband are suitable as accessories. On the ears can be the largest earrings that can only be found in the box. It is not necessary that they be paired. There should be a large necklace on the neck. Better than massive beads can only be a few beads.

Creating an image of the 80s is a very fun activity. Here you should not restrain yourself in choosing the color of clothes, shoes, accessories. You can safely exaggerate your outfit without fear of looking ridiculous. The brighter, contrast, absurd clothes seem - the better.
