All the clothes I wore in the 1980s were fairly ordinary, and much the same as in the 1990s.
I had the same fairly short hair cut through that period too - I never did embrace the mullet.
Now the 70's - that was different!

I've had a few changes over the years.. ;)

I stepped away from the conventional, first, with a Crew Cut in 1957 to my parent's horror - they sent me to the barber and they got a surprise when I got home..
I had the greasy kid stuff with the DA in the early 60's, though I invented the Beatles do by accident one day when running late for school and had no time to grease up.
Then I adopted a shorter style when I entered Uni, and played a bit more sport.

I grew my first goatee in 1968, followed by hair to the shoulders in the early to mid 70s, then grew a full though shortish beard when everyone else was adopting the goatee.
I had shorter hair from 1975 because I had to pass Specialist exams, but I kept the beard, and just trimmed it.

I experimented with a longish Crew Cut style again from 2003 to 2008, but I'm growing longer hair again now.
Perhaps the 70s will be recycled next...

No - I bypassed that, though I did have a Kookie jacket, in blue, when I had the Crew Cut age 13.
