If it is the punk style that mark the 60’s fashion and the disco look that dominated the 70’s fashion, it is the very “tailored look” that made 80’s fashion not only contemporary but also vibrant. Shoes as usual played a distinct role in hallmarking 80’s fashion and style as memorable and distinct. 80’s shoes therefore branded the fashion of 1980’s to stand out amidst crowd as a vibrant example of elitism and class. The influence of television especially the influence of the soap serials hallmarked 80’s fashion as contemporary and marked 80’s shoes as just not mere footwear but an important element in delineating the very fashion of that era. Apart from the sporty appeal of the sports shoes the charisma of those slip-ons and bare toes 80’s shoes embellished the true aura of 1980’s fashion and style. The platform heels remained popular as nostalgia of the late 70s whilst it is the introduction of the business look which offered 80’s shoes that unmatched dimension of classiness. |
