A piece of 1980's Fashion


1980's fashion is a distinctive and captivating piece of fashion history. The colors were so bright and vibrant. The accessories were full of gold earrings, clutch bags with different colors and prints, and matching shoes. Hats made a huge comeback and everyone seemed to be in their pantie hose. Though I love bright colors I think my favorite part of the 1980's were those huge shoulder pads! Well as history shows that women did not have a equal opportunity in the work place. These shoulder pads brought an identity or status for women in the workplace. These shoulder pads were made so that women in the 1980's can be acknowledged at their office. The shoulder pads in the coats transformed to dinner parties and night outings. Women use to dress it up with gold jewelry. The shoulder pants represented more than just the trend in the 1980's. It represented a new movement for women and equality. Freedom!
