Often unfavourably described as the decade that taste forgot, the 1980's is memorable for many fashion disasters such as bat-wing jumpers, ra-ra skirts and shoulder pads. The 80's saw the rise of the new romantic style and neon colours also became very popular. During the 1980's athletic clothing became part of mainstream fashion for the first time, not just for sports, items like the shell-suit, lycra leggings, training shoes and leg-warmers were frequently worn as everyday clothing due to the availability of new synthetic fabrics.
