Back in the 80's I did own one pair of hammer pants. They were dark teal and black paisely I think. They had a matching top with a built in vest. So cool for the clubs. Oh yeah, it was hot.
Cheering's avatar gave me the idea for this thread. What is the biggest fashion mistake you've made?

Earrings that were larger than my first born. As Toots stated, BF HAIR!!!!!! The bigger the better. Shoulder pads that looked like you had forgotten to take the clothes off the hanger, before I wore them! LA gear high top tennis shoes, with multi colored laces.......
I could go on. But, I won't. God I
the 80's!!!

grunge- mid late 80's . Don't know if it was even called that yet, but it was big in Lexington, KY. Big old Goodwill overcoats, ratty jeans, nothing "new" looking. Made getting dressed really easy in the morning. It was the total opposite of the big hair 80's look, which I didn't do for but a minute!

Yo Bfashionsmart- this thread is about fashion mistakes and disasters. You are too well dressed to post here.

Shoot everything I wore is coming back in, big time. Retro bell bottoms jeans, peasant tops and platform wedge shoes...

Oh my gosh, I didn't know this thread would make me laugh this much. I guess I can relate to most of it! Around the Madonna era is when skinny jeans were in too. I told my daughter I should have saved my skinny Guess jeans with the zippers and my 9 west pumps for her. That's maybe the only 80's thing I'd wear over again. Big hair---how much mousse and gel can one person put in their hair? Makes me think of one of my favorite movies.....

I'd post a pic of myself but they never made a camera in the 80's that could get all the hair and shoulder pads in one shot! :funn:

I do not know who these people are but a simple Google search on "80s fashion" turned them up. I guess in terms of hair, the bigger the better, right?

I had short spiked hair! Talk about lots of gel and hairspray! It could've put an eye out!

I just remebered I had a an assymetrical cut. Totally short on one side and bobbed on the other. I don't think I had it too long although I thought it looked cute at the time.

I did too! Got lots of comps on it! My hair looks so much better now.

It's a safe bet that they will, just like platform shoes and bell bottom pants. Personally, I like big hair, just not as big as that picture posted previously.

Stirrup pants and big sweaters w/ shoulder pads. Early 90's, I think I may still even have a few in the back of the closet. :shock:

Has anyone mentioned leggings? Leggings and short spiked heels,
a la The Go-Go's! This goes with the short spiked hair.
