Clothes in the style of the 80s

More recently, clothing in the style of the 80s wore exclusively on thematic parties. Now the elements characteristic of this era, create a 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 height of fashion in the hot eighties.

In the 70s, the population of the former USSR could not indulge itself with bright outfits. The wardrobe consisted of factory-made things, the colors of the fabrics were gray and inconspicuous, and the cut was simple and free. 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 Soviet pop stars. Young people began to imitate their idols. In addition, foreign products began to leak into the market, which was fundamentally different from the annoying monotonous domestic clothing. All this led to the fact that the fashion literally "exploded."

Replaced with a monochrome palette came a colorful collage of high-waisted jeans, bright leggings, boiled skirts, faux leather jackets, red jackets, angorov 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 courtyards, and in educational institutions newfangled trends were not welcome. And it even more incited the girls of the eighties to wear challenging clothes, make crazy hair, paint lips with scarlet lipstick, and eyes - with purple shadows.

Do not dwell on the images that emerge at the mention of the Soviet youth of the eighties. In the markets, the products were not of the best quality and the best design. For women, it has become a real test of taste and style of changing monotonous factory items. Unfortunately, not everyone with this test coped and sometimes looked more ridiculous than stylish and sexy. World fashion 80s is very diverse.

This image was chosen by women who were not afraid of outspoken and provocative outfits. It was characterized by shades of green, yellow, red, woven fabrics, with a floral or leopard print. The basic elements of clothing are miniskirts, leggings, jackets with wide shoulders, jeans, corsets, fishnet tights. All this is accompanied by a decor of sequins and rhinestones.

The icon of the style of this trend in fashion was Princess Diana. Here are more characteristic pastel colors, flower motifs, peas and cell. Lovers of romantic images and fans of all adored princesses wore puffy or pencil skirts, sheath dresses, high-rise trousers. Blouses and evening dresses were decorated with ruffles and waves.

In the 80s there was an interest in this image, as women began to seek high positions and positions, and in films, popular actresses played the role of business people. Girls liked to wear loose skirts, jackets with wide shoulders, dress coats, high-waisted trousers, turtlenecks. Classic colors were suitable for business clothes - black, white, red, shades of blue or gray were allowed.

The beautiful figure for the women of the eighties was a part of the image, so women were doing aerobics and shaping without exception. Sportswear was worn not only in the gym.She was also worn in everyday life. She was a bright color with a contrasting pattern in the form of stripes, flowers or peas. Denim, stretch, lycra are the most popular fabrics.

Among the young it was fashionable to wear clothes that reflect their affiliation to one or another subculture. Their formation was influenced by the direction in the music. Also popular was the gothic and preppy style.
