I've noticed more and more people in London wearing leg warmers over their pop socks. The 80s is on it's way back. I don't know if it really went away.

Anyone else experiencing an 80s revival?

It's been on its way back, and some of it scares me. It did go away, especially in the 90's, but that's with any decade change. The fashions of the previous decade are laughed at, people say "What the hell was I thinking when I wore that", etc. but then 20 years after it was popular, it comes back again.

I was wondering when they would creep back in style.

In Paris it's mullets and moustaches...

SIGH

it's definitely revivin here in the states as well...



...and it rox. well, 'cept 4 like mullets n' shit like that...

Mullets rule!!

You're kidding. I was in Paris recently and thank God I didn't see any of that. Is the white trash look suddenly chic now?

There was a HUGE 80'S revival on the runwats about 2 seasons back...complete with big hair, batwing sleeves and leg warmers staight out of flashdance. Perhaps it is trickling down into street fashion right now? Also check the popularity of those louis vuitton/stephen sprouse graffiti bags...even K-Mart is making knockoffs

Pretty much everything I see in stores now is 80's influenced. Especially the tapered, balloon-ey, style pants. But now it's very cargo, army-style clothes this season. So it's tapered cargo pants. Remember parachute pants? Kind of like that.

I wonder if all this military influenced clothing goes hand-in-hand with the impending war? I always think that when I am shopping. Well, at least the general public will be dressed for it.

god yes. there's someone at the dunn bros cafe near where i live and she simply CRANKS that 80s music up in there. . . . damn. yeah it was great music but that was 20 years ago

Dayummm, do you know nothing at all about fashion?

I tried to get some in the states but they were like $36 and I'm not paying that money for them...I looked in Amsterdam for them too, but no such luck..

I'm gonna have to go back to my parents and dig out my old 80's ones or get out my needles and wool and start knitting...

ConsciousContact said:

You've been wandering around White Hart Lane too much. They still sport Waddle and Hoddle haircuts, and carry around copies of 'Diamond Lights' in the vain nostalgic hope that it will bring back the good old days.

leg warmers? i found some at some store in mpls 4 like $5 bux...

XxAxX said:

still is. and i'm 22, so i resent that remark

langebleu said:

I bet you can't name the follow up to 'Diamond Lights'?

ConsciousContact said:

Wasn't it written after foretelling Glen's words regarding the England managerial post as he read Matt Dickinson's interview with him in The Times one fateful morning; or maybe it was what Tezza said to Sugar when they last exchanged polite words; no - it was Gazza's epitaph as he was carried off the Wembley turf after a disgraceful tackle?



That's right, 'It's Goodbye'

langebleu said:

No, but I did think Diamond Lights was quite a catchy single, honestly!

I thought Glen was quite cool on TOTP but Chrissy's dancing was awful.

I've heard alot about this 80's revival, and I've seen some "neon" on the cat walk (watching the E! channel) but can't say I've seen any legwarmers! thank god! I love the 80's and can't wait for some of this revival but legwarmers are not one of them! LOL I hope tapered leg pants come back in style, and pointy heeled boots (no more chunky heels) and off the shoulder sweatshirts!
yeah right!

Shorty said:

They are. I do have pointy heeled boots myself, and the off the shoulder thing is something I see a lot of here in Europe. Also the tapered pants. They're in every store window. But I have yet to see anyone actually wearing it.

XxAxX said:

true...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I NEED to come shopping in Mpls...

Uh, yeah, hello! There has been an 80s revival going on for at least 6 months. It's pretty funny.

I was too young to. . .eh. . .'appreciate' the 80s the first time, so I'm kind of enjoying it.

minneapolisgenius said:
