I had forgotten the ‘80s. My children were born then so that decade was a bit of a blur with small kids. This review is amazing as I kept thinking “I wore that, and that and, yes, that…”. The shoulder pads! The colours! The hats! This great video is a lovely reminder with a lot of nostalgia for me.
You did a fantastic job! I’m 59 and lived thru the 80s & this was fun for me to watch. Everything was extra in that decade. I remember in 1990 suddenly going thru my closet & cutting the shoulder pads out of all my blouses, sweaters, even t-shirts which resulted in a mountain of shoulder pads on my bed. My additions would be: leggings/stirrup pants, scrunchies , slouchy socks & men’s wild sweaters. I used to get a perm twice a year (torture) to get that big hair & do not miss it! Loved your video
I love your method of explaining fashion history. I just found your channel and I love how you incorporate other things besides just clothes but like you spoke on makeup and accessory trends...you got a new subscriber!
The biggest influence I feel on 80s fashion was MTV, we suddenly had video from the UK - US artists didn't make videos in the beginning, so this helped British artists and designers access to the US and the world. Also no one should forget the influence of artist Patrick Nagel, famous for his illustrations in Playboy and advertising of women (Duran Duran's cover of the album Rio was created by him in 1982) when you see fashion photos, they imitate his powerful cool female figures, the artist died young in 1984, so it's really a case of everyone imitating him, rather than his style imitating life.
thanks for this great video. its so interesting how pop culture and people in power influence fashion. would love a video about how todays fashion is influenced by the horrid housing market, cost of living crisis, etc. ❤

I never liked the 80s fashion, but I do after your video. It was really good to see and learn. Thank you. Can't wait to hear what you have to say on the 90s and 2000s styles. Awesome video 💜👍🏽👍🏽
I bought a sweater last year that has to be from the 80s. It has shoulder pads that are about an inch maybe an inch and a half thick that are attached with Velcro. I leave them out when I wear it because it's just too much shoulder pad for me but I keep the shoulder pads because it's kinda cool and if I resell it later I want to pass it on intact.
Great video. I used to think that the 80s had the worst fashion ever, but then I got into New Romantics style. Now I realize there is a lot of good style from the 80s and a lot of bad! Jerry Maguire was released in ‘96 by the way.
