I started High School in 1980, so I wore the full range of outfits; from having my hair super-short and spiked in the early years, to having it in a long spiral perm at the end of the decade.
Acid wash jeans; tight pants with big shirts/sweaters; tight pants on the guys (I'm glad to this is coming back, it's nice to see what they're working with); big hair; punk styles; romantic/pirate look (think Adam Ant); the cut/torn clothes (think Madonna and Flashdance).

Well, a lot of the styles that I've seen recently are from/or similar to the 80's fashions. For example, the leggings under the skirts are from the 80s. I know because I used to wear them when I was in Jr. High School between 1986 and 1989. Wow, do I feel old!! LOL :P
Have a great week!! :)

Since leggings are back it is common and doesn't cause me to have that reaction. But leg warmers and shoulder pads sure do! Bright colors and big hair and jewelry help it out too.

Acid washed jeans. Folding the ends, rolling them up and wearing scruntched up socks that matched your top, lol.
Big, poofed up hair w/lots of hair spray. So much that nothing could bring it down.
