It broke my heart when the woman said "you're not pulling it off," and you could tell it took the wind right out of her sails... :( Don't be that person. You can be critical without being a jerk.
Basically. I cringed when she said "tacky" and he corrected her with expressionist. A lot of their experts love the time period they studied or worked in, so it's disrespectful to knock the style like that. You could call it colorful, fun, eccentric.. all would get the point across without being rude.
I saw that, too. But we chalk it up to being young and tactless, forgive & move on. He's the expert and he helped define the era. Sadly, I'm not sure how one defines the current era and is it even fashion? It seems every era has a definitive something, like 50's poodle skirts etc, 60's tie dye etc, 70's rainbows and unicorns (& ugly wide collars and leisure suits).
I love this series but Steph needs to learn how to show the looks off better, like don't slouch so much and for formal looks try to pose a little classier, and be more open minded to different decades. The 80's is obviously Montgomery's passion, and I don't think he too much liked it when she called the look tacky.
He obviously didn’t like the comment. But he is not her boss. Her job is to give her reaction and experience in the clothing, not to appease him. Mr. Montgomery did not invent 80’s fashions. He really has no right to be offended by someone else’s opinion of a day glow green leg warmer and headband set.
I agree, like think before you talk people like she said that right to his face and Montgomery’s passion is for 80’s style and she called it tacky right to his face, it’s one thing to be rude and another to have an opinion without being bratty
I was glad to see the Madonna look on you. I thought you had a strong resemblance to her even before I watched this video. I noticed it in the iconic 50's looks. Especially when you dressed as the starlet (Madonna did a Marilyn look in the 'Material Girl' video) You looked like her long lost daughter!
The aerobic look was WAAAY off. It should have been a super thigh high cut leotard over the unitard, and the hair should never have been in a 60's/70's style flip. Gloria was an 80's icon, but (just like Anna Wintour now), her hair was decades in the past.
I loved the 80s, that was my decade, but people tend to exaggerate the outfits now. Yes, you might have seen some of these looks, but they all weren't necessarily that commonly worn, at least not for very long....unless you were in a music video that is. I remember a lot of girls emulating pop stars. They did get mocked if they went too far though. The big hair, makeup, shoulder pads and jewelry, yes, definitely.
My parents are full 80's kids, but the culture clash highlighted their need for me to be a 'pretty' girl. What I find interesting about the exaggerated outfits is that although they all include time-heavy makeup and hair, they do look...bad! As in they look like they're for the wearer, not the viewer. That must have been something. Would your experience agree?
I lived thru the 80s, was both a makeup artist and a model during that time period. These are ridiculously tacky and cliche outfits that were NOT the norm of either high fashion or every day person looks. Why can't anyone get the 80s right? UGH. They always choose the most extreme and weird looks.
@@Erudessa22 thank you for pointing that out. My problem is that in many other videos made by other groups, magazines, influencers, and so forth they all seem to hone in on the same sorts of looks. Not a lot of people were wearing neon, and that trend was actually quite short and mostly limited to socks and earrings. Most people did not wear gigantic bows in their hair. Many wore bows, but not huge, oversized ones, for example. When other eras are presented, many of the looks are more accessible, less ridiculous, or cartoonish and stylized. I wouldn't even consider all these looks iconic. But I appreciate the response.
@@justinpop hahahaa cute! :) I graduated HS and began college in 82 so I was spared a lot of the teen trends. Also had uniforms in HS so that took care of most of that. :D
@@therealJamieJoy I get what you mean. I don't think it's exactly ideal for a woman who states that she's trying to find things to incorporate into her day-to-day looks!
I'm not sure why, but people wore cartoonish looking styles of hair. Yes, big hair was in style, but I think a lot of every day people took it to the extreme. hahaha
80s casual is like.... all the millennial (and younger) thrift youtube channels, just with an added illogical love of harley davidson tee-shirts. This was so fun!
See, yeah, someone was honest and told her she didn't look that comfortable and confident in it. We can tell she's only saying what she was told. I'm getting that she is very early seventies naturally, frankly, get there for this model's sake.
LOL me too but that's what they wore in movies which she knows, back then it was these cool blazers with a low button and a t shirt underneath, it's all actually coming back again because it seems music artists have chosen the 80s as a main theme for the next music trend and it feels like things are going to improve again i hope. Look at the clothes asda have it's like hip hop mixed with 80s style.
Stef, I just found your videos and I'm having a blast! I grew up in the 60s/70s and was a young adult in the 80s; holy smokes your looks take me back! What is funny is that I thought at the start of your video, "Wow, she could be Madonna's daughter!" I think I wore every one of those styles, except I had great cheekbones and always played them up. Make-up in the 80s was fabulous! I think I heard you say that some of the looks were coming back in (what!). Alas, what was once chic on me is now antique on me. Loved your 50s video, too!
Totally missed out on the preppy vibe!!!! I was all preppy all the time!!!! Now I’m a middle aged lady in her pj’s with the elastic waist drinking a cuppa Barrys tea, but back in the day I was rocking my jumper tied around my shoulders, and my plaid skirt and loafers (listening to the Smiths, The Cure and The Stone Roses) I was eclectic that way!!! x
That tacky comment was a bit disrespectful... that man has so much knowledge and he’s taken the time to come out and help educate you... just comes off kind of bratty and judgey 🤷🏻♀️
i don't get why some people seem to complain sometimes about how the 80's fashion looked when yet they have no problem with people trying to bring it back and be "aesthetic"
My mom was a teen in the 80s and I loved how she dressed 😂. I dont think this girl was the right choice to wear the clothes though, she didnt seem to understand the expressionalism theme. 😂 that guy looked so annoyed when she called it tacky LOL
I love the music video part!! That’s so fun! I always wished I could’ve been in my 20s in the 80s. Wearing babe swimsuits and shoulder pad suits like the super models haha
For a school project my friends and I were doing a skit that involved an 80s character and my friend was basically the 2nd look. We were messing around and put like 10 scrunchies in her hair and it was just a droopy stick of scrunchy
That gentleman is so dedicated to the authentic 80's fashion!! I would gladly model any outfit he would choose for me :) I'm sure this brought back many fond memories to him :)
This was fun and a nice trip down memory lane! The only thing missing is "New Wave" , that sort-of forerunner to the Goth kids of the 90's. Remember Depeche Mode and The Cure? Where was that look?
the 80s fashion was so fun, playful and colorful and everyone today just wears the same bleak black adidas leggings and other bleak clothes with names on it... so boring
As an 80s teenager, I actually miss parts of these styles! I grew up in a conservative area, so most were limited to the more comfortable things. I mainly miss the peg legged jeans! 😁
They did not wear the bow and the top of their head. They would have put the bow at the back of the neck on a ponytail and no the dress has got to go. I don't remember anyone wearing a dress similar to that at all to the prom
It broke my heart when the woman said "you're not pulling it off," and you could tell it took the wind right out of her sails... :(
Don't be that person. You can be critical without being a jerk.
I agree, i bet she was just jealous!
She was jelly I believe.
@@ladynori People like her are just miserable on the inside and take it out on others, it's honestly sad! PS - you are very pretty! :) :)
you know haters are everywhere
She’s a jerk. I’ve met some Indians who think they’re above everyone else.
This guy was probably having the time of his life in the 80s and the presenter keeps making comments that offend him but he's being classy about it.
Fully agree.
She’s super tacky
Basically. I cringed when she said "tacky" and he corrected her with expressionist. A lot of their experts love the time period they studied or worked in, so it's disrespectful to knock the style like that. You could call it colorful, fun, eccentric.. all would get the point across without being rude.
Yeah I was kinda offended she wasn’t embracing the moment he’s known for, but she’s critiquing it in a very narrow minded way
I saw that, too. But we chalk it up to being young and tactless, forgive & move on. He's the expert and he helped define the era. Sadly, I'm not sure how one defines the current era and is it even fashion? It seems every era has a definitive something, like 50's poodle skirts etc, 60's tie dye etc, 70's rainbows and unicorns (& ugly wide collars and leisure suits).
People still go to the gym in full makeup. It's just a different style. Instagram eyebrows instead of neon pink lips.
i always laugh to myself when I see it. It screams of insecurity.
Nik insecurity isn’t a funny thing luv
@@nik1128 why bash people for being insecure. You're not helping.
I love this series but Steph needs to learn how to show the looks off better, like don't slouch so much and for formal looks try to pose a little classier, and be more open minded to different decades. The 80's is obviously Montgomery's passion, and I don't think he too much liked it when she called the look tacky.
Yeah I feel the same way. She should have thought about what she was saying bc it's kinda TACKY not to think before you speak.
Well, it was tacky. I'm glad she called a spade a spade
@@AnantyaV haha i agree!
He obviously didn’t like the comment. But he is not her boss. Her job is to give her reaction and experience in the clothing, not to appease him. Mr. Montgomery did not invent 80’s fashions.

R Vandenburg I thought the exact same thing watching the 1950s look!
I thought the same!!!
Fan
The aerobic look was WAAAY off. It should have been a super thigh high cut leotard over the unitard, and the hair should never have been in a 60's/70's style flip. Gloria was an 80's icon, but (just like Anna Wintour now), her hair was decades in the past.
Thank you I was thinking exactly the same. No one wore a boy short leotard in the 80s
Kirsten Sawyer rip Gloria
Why didn't they give her an actual workout video to do?
A few of these outfits were way off.

They don't claim that it was. It's "iconic" looks, referencing the movies, icons, and pop culture of the day.

I'm getting that she is very early seventies naturally, frankly, get there for this model's sake.
LMAO JEFF IS A REAL TEAM PLAYER
It's funny 😊
I loved the 80's!!!
sweatpantsprincess in the beginning she says it's part of a series for her to find her style
Looovee this!! Can we see a men's version of this too? 80's men's fashion is my biggest fashion inspiration so that'd be so cool.
That would be soo cool
Ooooh yes! Give us those pastel windbreakers and hairspray!
I love 80s male fashion! Womens...not so much. More into the 60s and 70s for the female styles.
Terrible, terrible time for men's fashion
yes please, give us some cute aloha shirts!
I love the business look to be honest 😂
No serious business woman would have worn those glasses and shawl with that outfit
LOL me too but that's what they wore in movies which she knows, back then it was these cool blazers with a low button and a t shirt underneath, it's all actually coming back again because it seems music artists have chosen the 80s as a main theme for the next music trend and it feels like things are going to improve again i hope.

I miss the 80’s... you really looked superb with the Madonna look. 😊👍🏻

HOLY CRAP the Madonna look is PERFECT for you!
I loved the punk look on her. All I listen to is old school punk and 80s goth. How I dress too. 🖤
For the prom look, we would have had matching, dyed shoes, definitely no big rose hairpiece. The dress I had for prom was a lot of lace.
I loooooove the Madonna Outfit! You looked so good 😊💕
SAME
The prom photos are even better because he’s so short in comparison 😂😂😂😂
I would like to see a most iconic 60s video
The 70's and 80's are my favorite decade's
❤💙💛💚💜
Madona double! OMG you looook sooooo much like Madona! you should "do Madona" more often .
I honestly love the prom look so much! It's so cute
Totally missed out on the preppy vibe!!!! I was all preppy all the time!!!! Now I’m a middle aged lady in her pj’s with the elastic waist drinking a cuppa Barrys tea, but back in the day I was rocking my jumper tied around my shoulders, and my plaid skirt and loafers (listening to the Smiths, The Cure and The Stone Roses) I was eclectic that way!!! x
Who else loves the 80s??
I was in my 20's during the 80's.
This was so fun to watch.
Brings back memories.
The 80s was my favorite decade. The punk and Madonna looks in this video are awesome!
7:01 woooooowwwwww 😧 wasn’t expecting that, but great video 🙂👍🏽
Style has changed so much
Meghan Lunsford a lot of this stuff is back in style now, it’s just not as colorful.
Hadi Hatab ya
That tacky comment was a bit disrespectful... that man has so much knowledge and he’s taken the time to come out and help educate you... just comes off kind of bratty and judgey 🤷🏻♀️
Montgomery:I LOVE IT!!
Steph:Ok?
we freakin dress like 80s casual today, aside the make up.
I agree!!
I find it hilarious how he vanishes behind her sleeves in the prom look. XD
Oops I accidentally pressed on a BuzzFeed video
Okay great video but I never wanna hear the phrase “push up the puppies” ever again
i don't get why some people seem to complain sometimes about how the 80's fashion looked when yet they have no problem with people trying to bring it back and be "aesthetic"
My mom was a teen in the 80s and I loved how she dressed 😂. I dont think this girl was the right choice to wear the clothes though, she didnt seem to understand the expressionalism theme. 😂 that guy looked so annoyed when she called it tacky LOL
I'm in love with the punk rock and office looks
Safiya Nygaard called, she wants her content back.
so true, not only is she copying but she is also kinda disrespectful to the expert, yikes!
Would have been nice to acknowledge safiya
Nobody has a copyright on dressing mainstream subculture s
@@leemythic4400 you're right. I'm sorry. I didnt realize that! I guess I'll take back the cease and desist order. Shucks.
I adore Saf & everything she does but this isn’t the most original idea for anyone... plenty of channels have been doing it before her (ex: Allure).
Shes either really tall or Jeff is really short lol
i think she's really tall
Maybe both
Montgomery Frazier is also so amazing, like c'mon!!
Me likey this 80’s stile yes vsco girls are you with me
lol love this💗. I'd wear the office look now and i kinda want that jumper 😂🤷♀️
He forgot the multiple Swatches for the casual look
The multiple pairs of socks too. 😊
I still have my original Swatch.
I feel the same way about style and not finding anything ! I thought I was the only one 🙏
I totally thought that was joey king in the thumbnail 😂
Never did I expect to wear a belt on my neck. Girrrrrrl, it’s a dog collar. 😂
I had expected to enjoy this video, but I hadn’t expected to enjoy it sooo much! Thanks
I actually liked the 80s business look pants on you. You seem to embody the 80s Madonna look the best, and enjoyed it the most.
extremely rude to the 90s to say that you have "no style" bc clearly you're rocking a 90s vibe
I would love for him to style me in 80s outfits. I love the 80s so much! Also I need those red sneakers omg. Honestly I want all these outfits lol.
I love the music video part!! That’s so fun!
I always wished I could’ve been in my 20s in the 80s. Wearing babe swimsuits and shoulder pad suits like the super models haha
I like them all the outfit but the last one is the most for me ❤❤😂😍😍
For a school project my friends and I were doing a skit that involved an 80s character and my friend was basically the 2nd look. We were messing around and put like 10 scrunchies in her hair and it was just a droopy stick of scrunchy
I went to school with a couple female classmates who dressed liked the Madonna look!
I think she looked great in every look! I would LOVE to do this!!!!
Madonna is my favorite 80's look. It was a mix of punk and pop.
The punk outfit was sooo cute and the Madonna jacket too!
need more of these please!
in my opinion, I think the 80's is a decade of change. I think 80's fashion is very fun.
That gentleman is so dedicated to the authentic 80's fashion!! I would gladly model any outfit he would choose for me :) I'm sure this brought back many fond memories to him :)
I was a teen in the 80's, I truly do not miss or think about it much. Then I watched this and... yep don't miss it! LOL
I loved the 80's comfort sweater lol
The 2nd look:
2018: just watches vid
2019 to 2020: HEY LOOK SCRUNCHIES! CALL THE VISCO GIRLS!
15:11 love that look and style
The prom look is dead on. Toni Basil eat your heart out.
The Madonna look suited her so much. She has a similar face shape to Madonna aswell
The best thing about the 80's : The music
This was fun and a nice trip down memory lane! The only thing missing is "New Wave" , that sort-of forerunner to the Goth kids of the 90's. Remember Depeche Mode and The Cure? Where was that look?
4:00-4:04
Emma chamberlain who???? Never heard of her
Her mom was adorable lol
They didn’t do as great as the 1950’s! The stylist and the hair and makeup ladies killed it in that video.
the 80s fashion was so fun, playful and colorful and everyone today just wears the same bleak black adidas leggings and other bleak clothes with names on it... so boring
No New Wave/New Romantic? 😥 I need advice on how to recreate it!
ohhh I love her, she is so cute and versatile
I love his personality
I love how she punked her Mom lol
You rock the 80s especially the prom & madonna look
punk was definitely my favourite
The 80s are my favourite years even though I never experienced them as I'm only 13 :(
Meme Yeeter06 I was born in 83
9:12 Me when my mom picked out clothes for me as a kid.
my casual outfits are my pjs
As an 80s teenager, I actually miss parts of these styles! I grew up in a conservative area, so most were limited to the more comfortable things. I mainly miss the peg legged jeans! 😁
The aerobics outfit should have been a french cut leotard over your tights. Some women even wore a thong leotard over the tights. lol
As a 90s teen, I was completely mortified. The 80s were SO gaudy, in my opinion.
You’re right…..absolutely horrible… so bad 🤢
7os and 9os 😀
you rocked all the looks.
I wish you’d all remember Cyndi Lauper. She was an icon too
That was so funny !! You looked great ! Jolie mademoiselle !
Ooooh business look😱😍
She IS Madonna. That last look was crazy!
Madonna outfit is the best one!
They did not wear the bow and the top of their head. They would have put the bow at the back of the neck on a ponytail and no the dress has got to go. I don't remember anyone wearing a dress similar to that at all to the prom
You really look like Madonna and that's my fav everrrr
Please do the 1930s
love the punk look!
Love these. More more more! 😊
The '80s were a lot more fashionable than they've chosen to show
The prom make up made me think of Hunger Games-esque Capitol vibes
Punk dress with the prom makeup with the best look.
