Fashion/Beauty Trends Of The 80s & 90s That Needed To Die

Baby Hair

Baby hair became very popular in the ’90s. There were so many women — and even guys — that would gel down their edges, but some people took it overboard. People were walking around with swirled edges, dried gel edges, extended hairlines that included long pieces of hair not just the “baby hair.” Too many grown people were walking around with “baby hair.”

Jellies

In the ’80s, everyone had a pair of jellies, from the kids to the adults. The cheap colorful shoes didn’t last very long, but they were comfy.

Overalls

A fashion staple of the ’90s were the oversized overalls in denim and any other material or color. The boyish sex appeal that every woman embodied during this time included at least one pair of overalls.

Floppy Hats

The floppy hat is by far one of the worst trends of the ’90s. We all loved “Sister, Sister,” but these hats were terrible.  There was just too much patchwork going on. They didn’t really add anything to an outfit they were just an unnecessary accessory.

Track Suits

The fellas loved their track suits in the ’80s. You couldn’t go far without finding a guy and two of his close friends looking like they were in rap or dance group together. Track suits were just too much coordination.

Backwards Clothes

Kriss Kross single handedly made wearing your clothes backwards the thing to do. They had guys and girls rocking everything backwards from head to toe. As much as we loved these guys this was one fashion trend that we didn’t need.

Big Curly Hair

The ’80s screamed big curly hair! Everyone had big natural curls or permed hair to get curls. It seemed like the more curls the better, usually styled with straight bangs.

Gold Chains

Every rapper of the ’80s rocked a gold chain. From the chunky to skinny gold chains they could be found on guys all over the neighborhood. This is one gaudy fashion trend that doesn’t need a comeback.

Black Lip Liner Gold Lipstick

The ’90s was notorious for black lip liner and gold lipstick. Ladies loved this makeup combination for some reason. There was really no blending, just literally a black outline filled with gold. It was one of the tackiest beauty trends that doesn’t need to see the light of day ever again.

Tie-Dye

Tie-Dye made a comeback in the 90s. Anything that was wearable could be found in tie-dye, from shirts, jeans, sneakers, leggings, accessories and anything in between. It was a trend that could of stayed in the ’70s, hopefully that will be that last we see of the colorful pattern.

White Eyeliner

The ’90s loved some white eyeliner, no look was complete without it. It was a very popular beauty staple that every girl had in her purse.
