    1980's fashion had heavy emphasis on expensive clothes and fashion accessories. Apparel tended to be very bright and vivid in appearance. Women expressed an image of wealth and success through shiny costume jewelry, such as large faux-gold earrings, pearl necklaces, and clothing covered with sequins and diamonds. Punk fashion began as a reaction against both the hippie movement of the past decades and the materialist values of the current decade.[2] The first half of the decade was relatively ta

    The late 1960s were the exact opposite. Bright, swirling colors. Psychedelic, tie-dye shirts and long hair and beards were commonplace. Woman wore unbelievably short skirts and men wore tunics and capes. The foray into fantasy would not have been believed by people just a decade earlier.

    I’m known as Senti (a nickname with a long history) and I am totally stuck in a 1960s timewarp. I missed the 1960s myself – being born in 1979 – but developed a love for this decade very early on, and now live in a 1960s house decorated with the appropriate vintage wallpaper and furniture, wear mainly 1960s clothes, am a self confessed knee-high boot addict.

    Let's start with one of the most famous fashion inventions ever, shall we? Diane made her now-iconic wrap in 1974 after setting out to create a relaxed, silk jersey dress that could suit every woman's body with ease. Originally available in a small range of sooo Seventies prints, she was quickly given the cover of business bible Newsweek and declared the 'most marketable designer since Coco Chanel.' The magazine was right and by 1976 Diane had sold over 5 million of the dress worldwide, building

    Whether you remember these fashion trends first hand or whether you are younger and are researching what life was like in the 80s, we hope you find our nostalgic trip down fashion’s memory lane fun and interesting. Our writers come to the stories from personal experience, and in many cases include their own pictures from the 80s to demonstrate what these fashion trends really looked like.

    In the early 1990s, several late 1980s fashions remained very stylish among both sexes. However, the popularity of grunge and alternative rock music helped bring the simple, unkempt grunge look into the mainstream by 1994. The anti-conformist approach to fashion lead to the popularisation of the casual chic look; this included T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, and trainers, a trend which continued into the 2000s.

    The 90’s: the decade when everything seemed so right, when our biggest issue was if our Tamagotchi was dead or not, when everything could be answered with a bucket of slime on Nickelodeon. Some of us were Saved by the Bell, but for hip hop and its fashion, the 90’s aspired to be the Freshest Princes (and Princesses). With color palettes ranging from Black Nationalist to neon everything, the 90’s were jam packed with trends that are still so relevant today. As 90’s hip hop began to transition fro

    I’m not sure if some of these fads and fashions were regional to my area. Most of the styles could be found at the local mini mall which is a place that is still there today. The mini mall was essentially just an old large store space filled with little booths and the merchants selling their wares. My mom told me it used to be a Woolworth’s
    Back in the mid 90s mostly clothes, shoes, and accessories were sold there. There were a few other booths that sold food, candy, car stereo supplies, custo
