Narrow leather ties - I had two, one red one blue. Or pastel suits of which Don Johnson used to roll up the sleeves.
Least favoutite & most pointless : legwarmers, shoulder pads ( why did women want to look like American footballers in the first place ?), fingerless gloves.
Most uncomfortable : skintight stonewashed jeans.
What a dreadful fashion parade the 70s&80s were. Great that commonsense has prevailed.

When did that happen?
clothes today are just as bloody awful!
look at those horrid hoop jumpers on every teenager or lad.
those shapeless grey tracksuits, burberry caps, those shrunken jackets girls wear, the horrid 60's prints that are back in fashion for girls..
can't see much common sense there

plus that gay footballers hair that boys have at the moment

The black and white prints are very 'in vogue' at the moment too - I remember my daughter Louise wore all black and white in the mid eighties'

She also nearly lived in a fishtail parka with a target on the back too - anyone remember them ??

I done the fingerless gloves and the legwarmers, and clubbing wore the dresses with the shoulderpads, anyone remember the scarves over one shoulder, new romantic or maybe that was the ninties, i had matching court shoes , beads and plastic button earings for every outfit, one of my favourites colours was electric blue, i also had a big fluffy jumper in that colour too. Remember the bananarama look with the bib n braces.

Being old like me means you aren't as conscious of youth fashions, of course whatever people go around in today won't meet with universal approval either.

Nice new av, Daz.

Can any Ladies/girls at the time remember "Culottes" I think they were called, awful wide legged short trousers, which were meant to look like a skirt.I hated them, they just did not suit me!

Re: What were your favourite 80s clothes?

Did anyone else go though a Phase of wearing waistcoats, I had some lovely ones, fitted, and silky at the back, I had loads of different colours and thought I looked well smart.I also had a few that looked like you were wearing a shirt under, but infact the sleeves and collar were just sewn in.

Yes, and mine was the best one in the school!


Why on Earth can I suddenly remember I payed exactly £3.50 from Flip for it? I really should start channelling my mind in different ways!
