Haha, I don't remember much of 80's fashion. For the first half I was in college and wore jeans and hoodies exclusively and then I was in accounting and wore suits. I do remember a nice London Fog trench I had that has never really been in or out. I also did the perm in my hair and had big shoulder pads. I also had some of the Candie's platforms (anyone remember those?) - I guess that was more like 79-80. They hurt my feet so bad but I felt very stylish in them. I miss very little of those styles.

I’m with all of you shuddering at our ‘80s fashion. The difference now is that all of it is optional! Back then we had no option other than what was in the stores. I was a petite, skinny 20-something with a small head/face, and I spent the entire decade feeling like everything was too big for me, including my hair. I did like the edginess of a lot of 80s stuff though, like skinny black pants and pointy boots. And nowadays being able to cherry-pick the best of the 80s -or of any decade, or all of them at once, is awesome!
