How Appearance Changed over the Years

How Appearance Changed Over the Years

Appearance to me means how one human physical portrays themselves to his/her surrounding's and audience. I was raised to always take my appearance seriously. Living in New York many different, unique appearances are shown. The three things that are greatly affected by your appearance would have to be fashion sense, what you have on from head to toe including accessories, hair style, & make-up. Throughout the decade of life from the 80's, 90's, to now there has been somewhat a similar trend in appearance, but also a dramatic change.

I wasn't born or living in the 80's but through what the media, research, and what other says the 80's was a season of experimenting and extreme. The material girl had a crazy mix match of every fashion trend. From huge shoulder pads to random strips of material in the hair was the look in this powerful and trend setting era. The fashion in the 80's revolution changed when the music changed. The items that stood out the most during this decade were; legwarmers, super diamond accessories, & jewelry that didn't match.

Thankfully, the poodle style curls aren't back as yet but leggings, multiple bracelets, cross style necklaces and even layering vest type tops with funky writing t-shirts are all styles that we have been guilty of wearing over recent months.. The style itself still remains the same. The top ten fashion trends in the 80' are Shoulder pads of course, the mini skirt, leg warmers, huge earrings, fingerless gloves, parachute pants, big puffy jackets, legging type pants that had the stirrup effect, oversized tops.

A few years later, a new era hit, the 90's, the era I was born in and have a more familiar topic in. Being born in the early 90's played a better effect on me on how exactly the fashion appearance trend took place. It didn't change that dramatically from the 80's but yet again music did have its way for how appearance slightly revolved. In the 80's Michael Jackson and Madonna set the stage by wearing all white socks with black shoes, fingerless gloves, and poodle skirts hairstyle. So for the 90's the influence was taking by many actress and artist. Hip-Hop played a huge role on wardrobe in my peoples' closet, whatever ones' favorite artist had on we as fans just had to start wearing it. I remember the time when it was the first day of school and everybody was wearing the new puffy bubble jacket that was shown in P-Diddys' new video that was aired during the Christmas break. Everywhere I turned everyone was wearing
