I often see posts over in Vintage Fashion saying “I decided to go 80’s today!” Or whatever. Happily, every once in a while, someone actually nails it, which is what happened in a post I saw earlier today. Usually the individual has basically done a Stranger Things homage. To be fair- it hits pretty close. I’m Gen Jones/Gen X. There’s a vast assortment of styles from 1979 to 1990. I put together two posts worth of a few grabs from a search, that represent the things I just had to have, from 1979 to about 1984. Bonus collage at the end, for the nostalgia!

I’m curious what was trending where you were in the world, for those middle to high school years- I was on the Pacific Coast and in the interior of Canada during my Angsty Teenage Days.
