pies and baseballs

Pies and baseballs? Personally, I never saw that, but what I did see was a variety of different clothing styles in the 80's, much of which were driven by the ground-breaking invention of the music video and the MTV station.

Jeans were always popular, however some of the more "unique" forms of clothing were parachute pants - they had a lot of pockets and were made of a parachute-like material.

For females, bows, lots and lots of bows, the bigger the better. This trend was set by Madonna herself. Also, polka dots were popular on clothing, i.e. dresses, shirts, etc.

The 80's also saw the introduction of expressing beliefs on T-Shirts. This became very popular due to a Wham video (George Michael lead singer) where-in he wore a shirt that said "Choose Life".

On the more narley side of the clothing equation, flourescent orange and yellow shirts were very popular as were flourescent and gaudy pants like the ones you may see WWE wrestlers wearing from time-to-time.

Finally, and what I think is the true hallmark of 80's clothing as it left an indelliable impression on future generations, Spandex.
