What 80s-inspired trend would you wear?
This morning, I taped a segment for the Today Show on how trends
from the 80s are making a comeback. Neons and brights, shrunken leather
jackets, short full skirts, even shoulder pads! I remember wearing
shoulder pads in the late 80s - we all thought they made us look taller
and skinnier (by making the shoulders look wider, the waist looks
smaller). This weekend, I saw four different women in their twenties
wearing them and, to my surprise, two actually pulled them off! Will
you revisit the 80s trends? How would you make them look modern?

I LOVE the 80's style! The bright colored straight legs with the high lighter shades are always cute.

I remember the 80's trend and I would wear the neon and brights for sure, but, not the shoulder pads. I didn't like them back then and I still don't!

WOW I loved the 80's , speant my entire teenage life there.
I never did the shoulder pads thing though,I always took them out...they made me look like a linebacker for the packers lol
But I did love the Madonna style of layering & leggins, wearing god awful jewelry and then there was the holey jeans and cray BIG hair.
I loved the bright colors, everyone looked so happy !

The shoulder pads aren't so hot,but i love to dress in neon colors with big bulky jewerly! I even rock the faux-hawk from time to time. My mom says it a horrible 80's flash back. "I didn't like the 80's then, and I really can't stand it now." but she doesn't realize that certin things can come back in style!

I have to agree with the people who say not the shoulder pads. Big chunky jewelry yes and bright colors yes.

I wore all that stuff in my teens. Being that I'm nearly 40 now, I don't feel like going back to that "retro" look... ugh!
