Fashion
1980's. When thinking of the 1980's the first words that come to mind are over-the-top, big, and colourful. they were times of experimentation and hair damage. As more women were being seen in the workplace, so were shoulder pads. They were said to make women look more intimidating and confident. Casual wear included khaki pants, blazers, polo shirts, and cardigans. Glam wear trends included lots of sequins and beads. Hair was permed and teased to achieve a more voluminous look. Makeup was bold (and poorly blended). Jewelry was colourful and big. Fashion was heavily influenced by the music popular in the days. perhaps the most regrettable fashion trend of the 1980's were the colourful dance/exercise ensembles.
1990's. After going through a crazy decade, the 90's fashion was more subtle and calm. Trends included butterfly clips, school girl looks, satin material, knee high boots, chokers, crop tops, and backless tops.
2000's. The fashion during the 2000's were mixed between different styles of different cultures in the world paired with western accessories. Trends included denim on denim, Gaucho Pants, popcorn shirts, denim skirts, and leggings.
Today's trends come from past elements with a modern touch. For example, leather jackets first came into style in the 1950's. Today, they are paired with popping colours rather than simple shades.
