If you have party snaps or other pictures we can use, feel free to send them over.

Puffy shirts & Pirates
The puffy shirt and pirate look can be traced back to Vivienne Westwood’s fashion show in 1981. Models in the show carried Walkmans [the size of bricks] and wear baggy round the ankle flat heel boots, henna ringlets and gold teeth. The collection is about gold and treasure, adventure and exploration. That’s enough to send a shiver down anyone’s spine. 80s pirate collection.

Leg Warmers

This gallery takes you through some styles of leg warmers of the 80’s. Leg warmers started with dancers – and are still worn by many today. By around 1982 they began to make an appearance in wider society: you could now pretend you were a dancer by wearing leg warmers over the top of your jeans. Leg Warmers gallery.

It’s cold outside, and the early 80s have just past, so leg warmers and fingerless gloves are out. What 80s clothes should you wear on and off the ski fields. It’s a tough choice. 80s clothes for skiers.
