80s Rip Curl Wetsuit
You may not be old enough to have lived through the 80′s but you have probably heard of the Kalvin Harris track – “Acceptible in the 80′s” !
For many of us, the 80’s were a great time – and it seemed – no matter what you wore or looked like – everything was acceptible!
The creation of MTV revolutionized fashion, the music industry and even how we watched TV. For others, it was nothing but bad hair, worse clothing and music that often had more to do with machines than talent.
The clothes worn in the 80s depicted people who were trying to find themselves. They looked for ways to express their creativity and individuality. Men wore heavy make up and grew long hair. Women wore short hair and layers of clothing. Both sexes were looking for an identity.
1980s clothing styles is on its way back and the surfing industry is having a bit of a revival too.
Here’s a taster of some of the major major 80′s surfing and wetsuit fashions.
