Do you see any 1980s fashions coming back this decade? Whether clothes or hairstyles?

Last year, when shopping for school clothes, I saw a checked button up shirt just like the ones I wore in high school.

There was some kind of "activator" you had to spray onto a Jerry Curl in order for it to keep looking good.

When you see an '80's Rick James video, and he's turning his head quickly and you see a mist of droplets flying out of his head... that's Jerry Curl activator.

Yup.  I  sometimes wear high waist shorts, skirts, and pants with crop tops that look like 80s fashion.   :)

The Jheri Curl always makes me think of Eriq La Salle in 'Coming to America'

I've seen the Daisy Dukes shorts and those knots tied to shirts coming back.

The other day I walked past a shoe shop and in the window was a pair of sandals identical to a pair I wore in the mid-eighties.  thin leather straps in a sort of 'ancient greek' style with two buckle fasteners up past the ankle.

Elizabeth had a checked shirt for Christmas, and one style she looked at was a black and white check in a short sleeve style.  I had one very similar.

I also saw several blue and white stripe tops similar to one I had (that was originally my mums from the 50s!)

I think you're talking about gladiator sandals. I didn't know those were popular in the '80s, though.

I've been seeing more of the "Flashdance Top" lately on women.  You know, the one shoulder hanging out.

However, every time I see that the first thing that comes to mind is 'Flashdance' and I am not sure if that is what the wearers are really looking for.  ;D

Neon yellow and neon purple are becoming popular clothing colors, I'd say thats definitely some 80s influence. Also the large-sweater-and-leggings look.

I kinda hope the New Wave look comes back.
I also like the 80s Prep look for guys. Polo shirt, slacks or jeans.
And I want the 80s Punk/Post Punk to come back for chicks--Love chicks wearing leather and leather jackets.
Also, the whole "plaid shirt/leather jacket" combo for guys like in the early-mid 80s is/was cool.

Mother was a bit too old and focused for 80s fashion trends. Turned 30 in 1984 with two kids, a working single mother. Not exactly the club hopping, trendy type.
Now my dad on the other hand....

I think that jelly shoes are coming back.  I could be wrong, I don't know.
