Threads Of The 80's

There's almost nothing more 80's than parachute pants!  I remember having black, white, and red ones.  A few were baggier than the others, but they had plenty of zippers...lol.

A rule of thumb: Jocks had them just sleeveless; skaters, surfers, and metalheads normally slit them down the sides; girls wore them either way.

I remember these being everywhere at school.  They seem to be coming back in popularity.

Another item that was everywhere.  Various colors, studded and not, were worn by all.

Skinny ties from plain black to obnoxious color combinations were popular with just about every type of person.  I knew a guy who had at least 40 of them at one time.



80's Threads

Girls wore 'em, guys wore 'em, moms, dads, David Hasselhoff.  The "Big 3" as I remember it were black, grey, and the maroon colors.  Extra points if you had a leather one!

I'm not sure if Madonna or Bananarama got this started but BIG bows were everywhere.

I had a few of these.  Girls always got in trouble for having handprints on their chests...lol.

Capezios were big with New Wave and dancers.  Especially the white ones.  There were a bunch of different styles but these seemed the most popular to wear.

I think we all had a couple hundred of these, and probably wore a few dozen at a time.  I've still got a TON of them from back in the day!

The Threads Of The 80's!

I'll be randomly posting pictures of various clothes I'm sure the majority of us owned at one time or another back in the day.  Or, maybe you still sport some of these...who knows?

Bandanas.  I had dozens of them.  Work pretty much anywhere.  The crazier the design, the better...but the Japanese ones were the best!

Clothes with piano keys on them.  Shirts, ties, jackets, pants, shoes...I saw shoelaces with them once.

Belts!  Big, small, skinny, fat, leather, chain, designed, plain...wearing 3 at a time was pretty normal back then.

These shirts were everywhere!  Others just said "Relax" on them.  Occasionally with day-glo letters.

Pretty much anything in this picture.
