    The 1980s had quite a distinctive fashion genre

    Tie pins
    Braces
    Shoulder pads
    Paisley shirts

    What do you miss about 1980s fashion? What should be brought back?

    Nothing.

    80s fashion should be collectively forgotten.

    I recently saw a photo from '84 of me and my twin brother dressed in identical Jordache acid wash jeans and Pro Keds sneakers.

    The acid wash jeans could be forgotten about but I miss my cool Pro Keds.

    The only thing I remember from the 80s is that everyone had pigtails and everyone was wearing shorts! Dont miss anything to be honest I see the same fashions from the 80s coming backing into style!

    Do you ladies who were kids in the 80's remember those big padded hairbands? They were so big your ears would be raw!
