80s Fashion Clothes Worn in the 80s

80s Fashion - Leg Warmers

Leg Warmers

 were not just for exercising in the 80s. These were actually worn as a fashion item! Usually in conjunction with a short mini skirt.

80s Fashion - Members Only Jacket

Chances are, if you were into 80s fashion, you had a Members Only Jacket. These jackets were very popular in the 80s. They were first introduced in 1981 and came in a variety of colors.

80s Fashion - Acid Wash Jeans

Acid Wash Jeans

  were jeans that were soaked in chlorine or some other product that removed the top layer of blue denim and left the jeans looking white with blue undertones. If you were really cool in the 80s you wore the matching acid washed denim coat to match the jeans. In 80s fashion, you could not have too much denim!

80s Fashion - Shoulder Pads

Shoulder Pads

  were not just worn by football players. Women went for the square shouldered look by putting shoulder pads in their outfits. Because, you know, what woman would not want to look like a football player? This form of 80s fashion showed up often on the night time soaps like Dynasty.
