  • If anything I'd say 2010s fashion has more similarities to the 90s than the 80s. There's more neutral colours, minimal styles, some subtle grunge-y elements.

    The 80s was all about "throw on as much neon, hairspray and glitter as you can", and in my opinion it was fucking ugly, tacky and tasteless. That's not the 2010s. With clothing at least, we're more subtle and understated.

    Maybe I'm biased, since I'm experiencing the 2010s in that "young adult" late teens/early 20s kind of age (I'm 22 now). Regardless, I think the 2010s is FAR superior to the 80s where fashion is concerned.

    • Thats such a stereotypical view of the 80s, the over exaggerated look is the kind you'd find in Halloween stores, most people dressed pretty decently back then. Watch some sitcoms and movies from the 80s and you'll know what i mean people dressed in a very sophisticated way, lots of sharp corners and very formal hairdos.

      • Sorry I see it in the movies and TV shows too :P Even when people were *relatively* dressed down by 80s standards, it was still pretty ridiculous (in my opinion).

        There were some occasions it looked sophisticated though, I'll give you that. You definitely can't look at the 80s and say "nobody made an effort"... it was just a bit TOO much effort haha

        It's an acquired taste henny, it's not for everyone
