What items from the 80's do you wish were back in style?

I have a ton of thick, curly hair. Banana clips were the only thing that ever held it back. I would love for them to be back in style.

Ah, spiral perms! I never had one, because I have hair thick enough for 19 people and a few animals to share, making it rather difficult to get it to do anything you ask it to do. But man, I loved those perms on other people.

I loved all the good tv movies and miniseries back then (now that I am older maybe I wouldn't be as impressed?) and also the juicy books some of them were based on:

North and South
North and South Book 2
The Day After
Lonesome Dove
I Know My First Name Is Steven
East of Eden
The Blue and the Gray
War and Remembrance
The Winds of War
The Burning Bed
Hollywood Wives
The Two Mrs. Grenvilles
Murder In Texas
Lace
Lace 2
Scruples
The Executioner's Song
The Thornbirds
Desperate Lives
A Death In California
V
I'll Take Manhattan

Banana clips

Paper boys! I was talking to a twenty-something at work and mentioned I missed when we had an afternoon newspaper and the neighborhood boys delivered it after school. It was often a kids first job. I called them kid-carriers and my co-worker had no idea what that was.

I was obsessed with boat shoes. I have seen them back in style, but they don't have the colors I loved. I had 15 pair in '82. I worked at the mall and couldn't resist.

I am not being rude and unkind when I say this....but it always baffles me, when I hear this kind of commentary.
You're not wearing something or achieving a particular look, because others have deemed it "not in style". I just don't understand why? Individuality is what makes you who you are. If you're doing what everyone else is doing, then it's all the same. If you're not doing what you want, then you're not really be you, your authentic self.
To each, their own.
If you like something, wear it, do it, use it. Or, lack thereof...whatever the latest bandwagon is, doesn't mean everyone has to get on it. Do want you want, not what you think society deems is the thing to do, or lack thereof.

I don't care what anyone else thinks. I live my life, my way. If you like me wonderful, if you don't then feel free to excuse yourself from my life.
I wear what I like and what I want, and vice-versa. If someone else doesn't like it, then whatever.

If you want to wear a banana clip or get a spiral perm, then do so. Don't worry about other peoples judgement.

Not really a item but I say music! 80s music was the best time of music IMO.

Jello 123!  I loved that stuff!

It's too bad we can't go back to the 80's Bill Cosby.*

*I know he was not truly good then, but it's rather thinking he was a good guy and we could watch the Cosby Show without cringing.

Yes.  Yes.  A thousand times YES!!!!  I have fine hair as well and wore them all the time!

Sounds good to me! We may have to go back to the 70's and also watch the miniseries that started it all for me, I was just a kid but my Mom watched it and I was hooked.... "RICH MAN POOR MAN".

Truthfully, style-wise, banana clips would be the only thing that I would consider a possiblility. The rest of the 80s style -- just say no!
