Puff sleeves
In the 1980s, the puffed sleeves became a major fashion trend. During this decade, they were incredibly popular and were worn by celebrities like Joan Collins in "Dynasty," Monica Geller, and Rachel Green. They also featured heavily on dresses from Princess Diana's wedding in 1981. For this decade, the inflated sleeves of her wedding dress became iconic. Are they still relevant today? Let's have a look at the fashion trends in that era.
Acid wash denim
Acid-washed jeans became popular in the 1980s. Teenagers and young adults loved this trend, but parents weren't keen to pay for jeans that looked old and torn. The fashion industry quickly adopted the acid washed jeans style. It was common to see jeans with torn knees, but they were often expensive, so parents were wary of buying them for their teenagers.
Socks with layers
Layering socks can be a great option if you want to look authentic 80s. It's a classic 80s fashion that Punky Brewster popularized. In addition to red Keds, blue and white shoes strings, Punky Brewster was known for wearing three pairs of socks. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even add a high-heeled sock.
Lace-edged socks
Lace-edged socks are an essential fashion item if you want to recreate the 1980s look. In this era, ankle socks were very popular and went well with dresses and skirts, both office and casual. They were thin and fit comfortably in dress shoes. These socks are great for 80's style. You can pair them with a little lattice dress, skinny jeans, or high heels.
Velour
Velvet is a hot fashion item in the 1980s. The fabric is in fashion and more fashionable now than it was during the decade. Many women from that time period wore this material all the time. Women wore it in various colors all over their bodies, and many designers wore it around the clock. It was loud and unbalanced in 80s fashion. But that doesn't make it any less fun.
