FASHION
‘80s fashion was totally outrageous.
‘80s Female Fashion Trends
Madonna was a trend-setter.
Girls loved lace and layers.
Shoulders were often exposed.
Tights and heels were all the rage.
Girls dressed like they were in the movie Flashdance…
And wore leg warmers on and off the dance floor.
Denim jackets with fringe were totally tubular.
