Ah, the 80s! Fantastic time - and the only thing my 21 year old housemate and I disagree on; she thinks 80s fashions are too dorky for words and I slam her hand in the fridge door when she says so. Ripped jeans, shoulder slipping tees, pixie boots and black braces instead of (or occasionally as well as) belts are FTW!

Anyway, I give you the Eighties, Decade of the Suit:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGcn15ODltA The Pretenders (god I thought this looked so cool!)

and in the same year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSmNIecfqog Elvis Costello (although I didn't think he looked as cool as Chrissie Hynde)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAdaQhitdKg Simple Minds going baggy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onrzgB_-0sM Rick Astley (for a change, it's "Whenever You Need Somebody")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etxd0z5TfiA&feature=related Those lovely lads, Madness, bringing the news to a suit near you.

It takes a while, but eventually even Madonna gets into the Suit Thang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQDFEv72e3U

Don't forget leg warmers.........that was a look! :shock: :shock: Image

I was thinking of doing a couple of collections: legwarmers, big hair, dancing-on-the-spot, mullets (bit like shooting fish in a barrel, really), geometric hair cuts, backgrounds in bright primary and jewel colours in random patterns, animation, middle-class 'rappers', enormous earrings - the possibilities are endless!

Ok, legwarmers it is:

'Footloose' by Kenny Loggins, natch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwBbMXYDsXw

Ok, admittedly you do have to look closely, but they are there in force - Irene Cara http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4C3CmmGUQk

and from that other insinuous dance movie of the early eighties that started the trend, so blame it all on Irene Cara http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFA8RElFNRM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN-4lX0QyZc Diamond Dave having some fun

Billy Idol shows us that Real Men wear leg warmers too (but only if you have a crowd to hide behind) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjnI54xlNp0

Bizzarely, Nik Kershaw wearing a leg warmer around his neck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSxKngEsHDg
