Photograph: Edward Berthelot/Getty Images The 1980s was a time of fashion innovation and self-expression. It was almost a renaissance of fashion, with people daring to be different and pushing the limits of what was considered acceptable. Prior to the 1970s, fashion was quite conservative, but with the hippie movement and the sexual revolution came the opening up of fashion to become more provocative. The 80s took that to the next level with bold colors, more skin, and unique accessories. The fashion choices of the era reflected a cultural transformation where people were no longer afraid to be themselves, and that mentality shone through in their clothing choices. Many consider the 80s fashion for women to be the best of the 20th century, and it’s easy to see why with all the creative and daring looks that came out of the era.

Channel your inner Working Girl’s Tess McGill or Mugler woman with a powerful professional outfit. The 80s was the epitome of power dressing, with bold and sharp suiting silhouettes that defined the decade. This era was famous for its shoulder pads – it’s a great way to create an hourglass silhouette and create the illusion of a tiny waist.
