Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is ’80s fashion more popular than ’90s?

A. The ‘80s is one of the eras of fashion. Cemented by subcultures including punk, rock, and hip-hop, I can say that it’s not so different from the ’90s style, and nothing is better than the other. Most outfits from the ’80s survived and resurfaced in the ’90s until today. Elements of the media influenced the ’80s and ’90s fashion as music and movie icons helped make them popular. Bomber and biker jackets, as well as jeans and suspenders, are still a thing today, and they’re not going anywhere.

Q. What accessories were popular in the ’80s?

A. ’80s-inspired style wouldn’t be complete without having a few classic accessories in your arsenal. As such, invest in reflective sunglasses, gold chains, fanny packs, and belts with flashy buckles. Fingerless gloves and ear piercings were also a thing back then. For the business-casual side, tie bars and cufflinks were also worn on special occasions by older men. On the other hand, enamel pins and metal buttons were trendy among younger men.

Q. What watch did men wear in the ’80s?

A. The ’80s was also a time for watches, and since these accessories are new to most men, they didn’t think twice to try. For one, the Swatch company (I trust you’re familiar) made plastic watches in neon swatches, and men started incorporating them into their everyday outfits. Alternatively, bracelets were also seen in some stylish men.
