Retro will always be one of the great fashion eras that is why the 80s decade is also one of the most preferred themes when it comes to costume parties. Retro style from music, hairstyles, and clothes is one of the most memorable fashion trends ever. Some of the most popular 80s styles were neon-colored clothes, miniskirts, leggings, oversized shirts, acid wash jeans, parachute pants, and workout clothes.
