Fashion Faux Pas: Having a Bad Hair Decade

We can all be forgiven for transgressions of good taste when fads come and go. The big hair that many women displayed in the 1980’s could be a case in point. Future generations may point to today’s popular tattoos, while no one today claims mullets ever looked good.

Bell bottoms, silk shirts and leggings. Torn sweatshirts. No one gets through unscathed, though fashion’s approval is always in the eye of the beholder. Crocs, cammies, and scrunchies.
