===Fashion=== {{Main|1980s in fashion}} [[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-1984-1018-012, Berlin, Modeausblick.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A German couple in 1985]] The beginning of the decade saw the continuation of the clothing styles of the [[1970s in fashion|late 1970s]] and evolved into [[heavy metal fashion]] by the end. However, fashion became more extravagant during the 1980s. The 1980s included teased and colourfully-dyed hair, ripped jeans, neon clothing and many colours and different designs which at first were not accepted. Significant hairstyle trends of the 1980s include the [[Perm (hairstyle)|perm]], the [[Mullet (haircut)|mullet]], the [[Jheri curl]], the [[hi-top fade]], [[big hair]] and the [[Seiko-chan cut]]. Significant clothing trends of the 1980s include [[Shoulder pads (fashion)#1980s|shoulder pads]], [[Denim|jean jackets]], [[leather]] pants, leather [[aviator jacket]]s, [[jumpsuit]]s, [[Members Only (fashion brand)|Members Only jackets]], [[Slim-fit pants#The 1980s|skin-tight acid-washed jeans]], [[Izod Lacoste]] and "preppy" [[polo shirt]]s, [[leggings]] and [[leg warmer]]s (popularized in the film ''[[Flashdance]]''), off-the-shoulder shirts, and cut sweatshirts (popularized in the same film). [[Miniskirt]]s returned to mainstream fashion in the mid-1980s after a ten-year absence, mostly made of [[denim]] material. From that point on, miniskirts and minidresses have remained in mainstream fashion to this day. Makeup on the 1980s was aggressive, shining and colourful. Women emphasised their lips, eyebrows and cheeks with makeup. They used much [[Rouge (cosmetics)|blush]] and [[Eye liner|eyeliner]]. Additional trends of the 1980s include athletic [[headband]]s, [[Ray-Ban Aviator]] sunglasses (popularized in the film ''[[Top Gun]]''), [[Ray-Ban Wayfarer|Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses]] (popularized in the films ''[[Risky Business]]'' and ''[[The Blues Brothers (film)|The Blues Brothers]]'' and the TV series ''[[Miami Vice]]'') and [[Swatch#A fashion statement|Swatch watches]]. Girls and women also wore jelly shoes, large crucifix necklaces, and brassieres all inspired by Madonna's "[[Like a Virgin (song)|Like a Virgin]]" music video. The [[New Romantic]] movement was a British style in fashion and music influenced by futurist [[disco]].<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|title=London Calling: What's Next as the New Romantics Fade Away?|last=Loder|first=Kurt|author-link=Kurt Loder|date=10 November 1983|quote=Midge Ure and Billy Currie, of Ultravox, the seminal New Romantic band, cranked out the cool, new Eurodisco sounds that oiled the scene.|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/london-calling-52852/}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|title=Dress Right!|last=Loder|first=Kurt|author-link=Kurt Loder|date=23 July 1981|quote=Midge, Rusty and Steve weren't discouraged; they had already hatched a plan to recruit some of their favorite musicians from other bands and record a whole album of electro-disco tracks.|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/dress-right-67985/5/}}</ref> <gallery widths="190px" perrow="5"> File:Thompson-twins-tom2.jpg|[[Tom Bailey (musician, born 1956)|Tom Bailey]] of the [[Thompson Twins]] in 1986 with the trendy [[Big hair]] style achieved with liberal applications of [[Hair mousse|mousse]] and hairspray File:RayBanAviator.jpg|[[Ray-Ban]] sunglasses File:1980s fashion - acid-washed jeans.jpeg|Trendy 1980s pleated acid-washed jeans File:Cher live 1981.jpg|Globally popular musician and actress [[Cher]] was a prominent fashion icon of the era File:Journalist Lucy Morgan with video camera and phone (7026619371).jpg|Journalist [[Lucy Morgan]] holding one of the first brick mobile phones, as well as a 1980s video camera File:Vintage Care Bears Character Watch By Bradley Time, Manual Wind, Copyright 1983 By American Greetings (16846118291).jpg|In the 1980s, [[Care Bears]] were popular for children and seen on greeting cards, clothing items, accessories and other merchandise.
