Stunning Portrait Photos Capturing the Iconic Style of Young People in the 1980s

1980s young people 1

The fashion of young people in the 1980s was all about individuality, blending boldness, rebellion, and fun. From vibrant oversized outfits to edgy punk leather jackets and band tees, self-expression was key.

Athleisure became a cultural staple with tracksuits, sneakers, and sweatbands inspired by the aerobics and hip-hop movements of the time, while preppy looks introduced collared shirts, blazers, and khakis into the mix. Hairstyles were unapologetically big—think perms, mullets, and lots of volume—paired with playful accessories like scrunchies, chunky jewelry, and neon sunglasses. Shaun Brittain’s striking photos give us a time capsule of the unmistakable, eclectic style of 1980s youth culture.
