About This Quiz

MEMBERS ONLY! When it comes to fashion, each decade has its own distinctive style, but today we're focusing on the '80s. From leg warmers to parachute pants, can we guess your age from your opinions on '80s fashion?

When the 1980s came around, the fashion completely switched from the previous decade. The 1970s was a decade filled with tie-dye, bell-bottoms, gauchos, and peasant blouses. This flowery, hippy decade ended and in came the new styles of the '80s. 

Bell-bottoms were traded in for acid wash jeans and parachute pants. Midi skirts were traded in for mini skirts. The decade was filled with Members Only jackets, fingerless gloves, and who could forget the leg warmers? Neon colors filled the decade and women were broadening their shoulders with pads. Was this decade too innovative or old for you?

You might be a fan of '90s fashion where high-waist jeans, chokers, and crop tops led the fashion industry. From your opinion of '80s fashion, can we guess your age?

Were the '80s too fashion-forward for you because you were more comfortable in your blouson? Was it that the '80s were too old-fashioned for you and you needed a crop top? Maybe the fashion of the '80s was just right for you!
