Pastel colored clothes. Pink and Light Blue were big in the 80's.
Lots of makeup, the "Tammy Faye Baker" look
Headband

Well, the 80's were rather unique, because there were so many different looks. You got the Preppies, Punks, Surfers, Valley Girls, and Country. Then there were other looks, like Flashdance, Urban Waif, Jock, and then all the regional ones.
If you want a good idea how we talked, dressed, danced, and acted back then, I can suggest a few movies:
Footloose
The Breakfast Club
Valley Girl
Fast Times At Ridgemont High (actually filmed at Van Nuys Sr. High, the home of the "Valley Girl")
Can't Buy Me Love
I graduated from Van Nuys High in 1983, so I lived in the heart of "Valley Girl USA". It was a unique way of life, and we even had our own language and way of talking. You can also see if you can catch some old episodes of shows like "21 Jump Street".
