80'S FASHION

80's Fashion. It was bold, bright, and had a bigger personality than the people wearing it.

When you think of 80's fashion generally you automatically think about spandex leggings, baggy tops, leg warmers and neon. But that wasn't the only trend. Fashion was heavily influenced by music and here were many subcultures contributed to the trends of the 80's including: New Age Travellers, Grunge and Riot Girls, Indie Kids and Cuties, Goths, Ravers, New Romantics, Cyber Punks, Pervs, Casuals, Psychobillies, Raggamuffins and Two-Tone.
