Punk (& Goth) Styles in the '80s

Punk originated in the UK in the '70s and was often handmade/deconstructed. By the '80s you could find it in specialty stores, and eventually even on the catwalk. It was anti-mainstream, anti-pretentious, and anti-disco. Offensive shirts, bondage accessories, and studded leather jackets have become iconic. In the '80s Doc Martens, studded belts, tattered jeans, and kilts moved in, as other punks adopted a hard-core style of shaved heads and plain clothes. As it applies to The 80s Cruise as a theme night, focus on designers like Vivienne Westwood, Zandra Rhodes, and even Jean Paul Gaultier's kilts in the 80s. Gothic fashion evolved from Punkish looks, so explore those options if that's more your style.
