Yesterday I was watching Sixteen Candles and was reminded of the greatness that is 80's fashion. Sure, some of it was wacko (as are parts of any time), and a portion of the hair leaves a bit to be desired, but it is the general feel of the whole of it that amazes. It is the way that everyone seemed to care about what they put on every morning. And not in the whatlabelareyouwearing high brow fashionista way of today.
Especially so in the trifecta of Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink you see the delicate way that outfits are constructed with care; not because people were all shallow back then, but because they cared enough not to look like slobs all the time. And boy did these ladies know how to accessorize; hats, necklaces, pins, scarves, bags, etc.
Even the geeks looked put together at all times in button downs, sweaters, sweater vests and nerdy tee's.
