You're really lucky if you were born in the 80's Bradley and I are both 90's kids. We both feel like we were born in the wrong decade! There was so much more going on especially the fashion everyone had a unique style but some how everyone fitted in. Fashion was so diverse and everyone had fun with it! Some of the categories people fell into included: The Mods, Rockers and Punks.
Some of the 80's fashion are slowly to come back round and I am seeing shops, especially high street shops slowly bring back the style, which for me, is amazing.
Mods and Rockers
When you think of mods and rockers,You think of the 1960s but they was a revival in the 80's which was of course influenced by the 60's!.Think The Jam,sharp suits,always smartly dressed.A very clean cut look but with a wild side personalty to show how things were done!
PunksWhen you think of punks you think of leather/jackets,big Mohawks and big black leather boots!,think Vyvyan from the show the young ones.He was a punk loads of Metal piercings,Slogan T-Shirts into heavy punk metal music!
Skinheads
'This Is England' is a great way to see 80's skinheads fashion from a male and a female points of view both male and female had there head shaved one way or another,females often had a small bit shaved with hair left,Men had there whole head shaved.They wore Bradley's favourite doc martens!,with jeans tucked into them then a smart shirt with braces.
Who could do a blog post about 80's fashion without talking about David Bowie, Boy George and Adam Ant. Their fashion was amazing. So much colour and texture. They chose to express themselves not just by their music but with what they wore. Mostly wore woman's clothing, I have to admit! With the only exception out of the three being Adam Ant who just wore make up. What I love about that era was how people embraced everyone for who they were and how people grew to love everyone.
