The 1980s were a weird decade.
With the oversized collars and bell bottoms of the seventies behind them, and the grungy simplicity of the nineties yet to come, the look of the 1980s is at an odd in-between point.
Everything was bright, bold and colorful, and that aged really poorly. Looking back, everyone in the eighties look like people from a 1970s sci-fi film that wouldn't even be shown today on TV out of embarrassment - and that's really funny.
Look back the cringey, neon-drenched looks of the eighties that used to mean the peak of cool.
