8 "Outdated" 80s Fashion Trends That Aged Horribly

The 1980s were a decade of maximalism: bigger was better, and brighter was bolder. Clashing patterns, eye-catching accessories, and perms that seemed to defy gravity ruled the era and created some unforgettable style moments.

But while plenty of trends, like high-waisted jeans and scrunchies, have made a comeback among younger generations, not everything from the '80s deserves a revival. Here are some looks that are better left in the past.

Scroll to see all the outdated '80s fashion trends that should definitely stay in the past...

Etsy

1. Bulky Shoulder Pads

There's no fashion trend that screams '80s quite like big shoulder pads. These boxy additions (as pictured in the above shirt) found their way into blazers and dresses, creating a look that was arguably equally as impractical as it was bold.

Nonetheless, this style was popularized by the rise of power dressing and meant to project confidence and authority, particularly for women who were breaking down barriers in the workplace.

The intention behind shoulder pads was empowering, but today, many would agree the result leans more toward comically oversized than chic.

Anthropologie

2. Animal Print Blazers

Another loud and unapologetic staple of this decade was animal print blazers. Whether leopard, zebra, or even tiger-striped, these statement pieces definitely turned heads and were sometimes even paired with metallic fabrics, taking an already bold outfit and pushing it over the edge.

Nowadays, a touch of animal print can add flair to an outfit. But the extreme blazers of this era are best remembered as a relic of fashion's past.

Amazon

3. Nylon In Neon

You probably wouldn't bust out a nylon tracksuit to run errands today. Yet, back in the '80s, this look was considered the height of fashion. People would rock them in blinding shades of hot pink, neon green, and electric blue just to hit the mall or visit the grocery store.

Even though the flashy fit definitely stood out, nylon wasn't exactly the most flattering choice and kind of made people look like highlighters. Not to mention, the synthetic fabric wasn't exactly breathable since it trapped heat.

Kohl's

4. Acid-Wash Denim

Acid-wash denim was synonymous with looking "cool," but for older generations, the trend was ridiculous. They couldn't understand why anyone would intentionally wear jeans that looked as if they'd been dunked in bleach.

Regardless, anything from jeans to jackets and full-on denim looks got the acid-wash treatment, creating outfits that seemed more like laundry accidents than a fashion statement.

Target

5. Oversized Collars

Thanks to Princess Diana, oversized collars became a go-to style choice. In hindsight, these exaggerated pieces of fabric were more comical than chic.

Sure, they theoretically could be styled thoughtfully and add a vintage touch of elegance. But more often than not, they wound up looking more like unflattering bibs and can stay behind in the history books.

cottonbro studio

6. Side Ponytails

Why wear your hair in the center when you could sweep it to the side? That was the thought process behind this popular hairdo in the 1980s.

Side ponytails were hiked up high, volumized, and usually paired with teased bangs. At the time, teens considered the look effortlessly cool. In 2025, the era of "slick back" buns and lower ponies, it's more just quirky.

Target

7. Hammer Pants

M.C. Hammer and his iconic dance moves gave us one of the craziest fashion statements of the '80s: harem or "hammer" pants. These oversized pants might've been comfortable, but their ultra-low sag up top and billowing legs made them nearly impossible to style in a way that didn't feel like a costume.

Certain variations of hammer pants in more modern forms have stuck around, but the exaggerated and parachute-like proportions of this era are outdated now.

Godisable Jacob

8. Patterns On Patterns

Finally, everyone laughs at the early 2000s for the layering of so many physical garments, like long sleeves under T-shirts under tank tops. Layering was also "in" during the '80s, just in a different way.

This decade saw the unashamed mixing of all kinds of patterns, like stripes with florals or plaid with polka dots. It resulted in outfits that clashed and looked chaotic.

Today, some thoughtful print mixing is considered a chic way to make a statement. However, the 1980s lacked the balance needed to really pull it off.

Um, Nina Dobrev Just Hopped On This Tricksy New Mom Trend — Holding A Newborn Baby

Nina Dobrev sent the internet into a tailspin (including myself) when she took part in a new tricksy mom trend...cradling a newborn baby. This hilarious TikTok trend starts off with users holding an adorable infant with the text "I miss how my body looked before you." In addition to starting conversations about postpartum bodies (because every body is a good body!!) the trend insinuates the TikTok user is the baby's mother before providing a hilarious twist. So when Nina made her own video, we all lost it!

Keep reading to watch Nina Dobrev's baby TikTok video & read all the comments.

Nina Dobrev left all her fans "screaming" with her newest video.

@nina

ok baby, relax on the facts

♬ original sound - Gypsy

Nina Dobrev's TikTok features the Vampire Diaries actress in leggings and a gray cardigan with white hearts holding a sweet little newborn in a onesie covered in rainbows. Just like the rest of the videos on the trend, she says "I miss how my body looked before you," before cutting to a close-up on the baby's face with the words "Girl you're my aunt. Go to the gym." Not to mention the fact the baby is giving her some serious side eye. I can't help but giggle!

Naturally, the video comments were filled with people who fell for the trick, saying everything from "I THOUGHT I MISSED A CHAPTER" to "I first thought you had a baby and didn't tell us" and "GIRL I STARTED SCREAMING."

And one fan even added, "She would be an amazing mother."

Nina Dobrev and Shaun White are currently engaged (even if they're not wedding planning at the moment), and can't wait to see what life brings in the future.

"They've definitely discussed making things official. They've talked about getting married, having kids, the whole nine yards," an insider told Us Weekly in 2023, adding that the couple is “so in love and can’t imagine not spending the rest of their lives together. What they have is the real deal."

I'm swooning! Should Shaun and Nina decide to have kids (and decide to share them with the world) I'll be more than excited to support them.

Did you fall for Nina's hilarious TikTok trend prank? I did! Read up on Nina Dobrev Got Emotional As Celeb BFF Jessica Szohr's Maid Of Honor for more news on the actress.

10 "Surprising" Stores That Will Match Amazon Prime’s Prices

Amazon Prime has become the go-to for competitive pricing and fast shipping, but what if you could get the same deals without relying solely on the e-commerce giant?

Maybe you don't want to pay for Prime benefits, need an item that doesn't qualify for same-day shipping, or simply aren't interested in supporting the company anymore. Regardless of your reasoning, many major retailers are stepping up their game by offering price-matching policies to ensure you won't overpay.

To cash in on a price match, the product you're looking to buy must be identical, in stock at the competing retailer, and not sold by a third-party vendor on Amazon. Most stores also require you to show proof of Amazon's current price, either on your phone or a printed page with the date visible.

That being said, here are 10 retailers that will match Amazon Prime's prices and help you score the best deals where you prefer to shop.

Scroll to see which stores will actually honor Amazon Prime's low prices!

Ashley Furniture

1. Ashley Furniture

Ashley Furniture is a solid option for those looking to mirror Amazon's prices on home furnishings. As long as the item is sold and shipped directly by Amazon, Ashley will honor the price match.

There is just one catch: the price match only applies to the advertised cost, not discounts applied at checkout. So, if Amazon offers a checkbox coupon or automatic discount during checkout, it won't count.

On the bright side, Ashley Furniture may offer you a 10% promo code for your next purchase as a goodwill gesture if you run into any price-matching issues.

Bed Bath & Beyond

2. Bed Bath & Beyond

Bed Bath & Beyond may have transitioned to being an online-only retailer, but it still offers a wide variety of home essentials for all your needs, from furniture, kitchenware, and linens to home decor and pet supplies.

Whether you're in the market for a new coffee maker or helping your teen stock up for their new college dorm room, Bed Bath & Beyond will match Amazon's prices.

Academy Sports

3. Academy Sports

Academy Sports is a popular spot for purchasing athletic gear, activewear, and even camping tools.

It's important to note that this retailer doesn't ship to Alaska, California, or Hawaii. However, if you live in a state where Academy Sports operates, you can take advantage of its price-matching policy.

The best part? Academy Sports won't just match Amazon's price; the store goes further and beats it by 5%. This extra discount makes the store a stellar option for saving even more on your athletic and outdoor buys.

Dick's Sporting Goods

4. Dick's Sporting Goods

Similar to Academy Sports, Dick's Sporting Goods also has just about anything an athlete or outdoor enthusiast could need — like this bathing suit! And if you find a product sold directly by Amazon for a lower price, Dick's will match it.

There are just a few exceptions, including special flash sales like Amazon's Lightning Deals. Additionally, you'll need to show the live product page on your phone to an associate as opposed to a screenshot, which isn't accepted.

Home Depot

5. Home Depot

Home Depot may be best known for selling heavy-duty building materials and tools. But this retailer also carries home appliances, furniture, cleaning supplies, and gardening essentials.

So, if you want to tackle a DIY project, refresh your outdoor space in time for summer, or just upgrade some items around your house, head over to Home Depot, which will match Amazon's prices on identical items sold and shipped directly by the company.

Lowe's

6. Lowe's

Just like Home Depot, people flock to Lowe's for all of their home upgrading and decorating needs, and Lowe's will honor items priced lower on Amazon.

Keep in mind that there are some exclusions, such as open-box deals, rebates, or free offers. Even so, Lowe's price-matching policy is a great alternative for those looking to save on home improvement.

Target

7. Target

Plenty of people already visit Target when they don't even need anything just to peruse! Why? The retailer is a one-stop shop for just about anything you may want, including art supplies, clothing, kid's toys, electronics, pet supplies, groceries, home goods, holiday decor, and more.

You might not know that Target will match the lower prices you find on Amazon, whether at checkout or within 14 days of your purchase. With this policy, you can benefit from Amazon's prices while still enjoying your Target run because let's be honest: who leaves the store with just one thing?

JCPenny

8. JCPenney

There's no shortage of department stores offering clothes, jewelry, beauty essentials, and home goods nowadays. So, what sets JCPenney apart is its willingness to price match against Amazon, allowing you to continue enjoying the in-store experience on a budget.

Nordstrom

9. Nordstrom

Nordstrom is more well-known for its upscale fashion. Aside from that, it also offers a variety of home goods, jewelry, beauty products, luggage, and other accessories.

This retailer is also popular due to its excellent customer service and generous return policy. Still, Nordstrom has taken it a step further by offering a price-matching policy with Amazon, making it easier to shop for luxury items without breaking the bank.

Staples

10. Staples

Last but certainly not least is Staples. This office supply retailer offers way more than just printer paper or desk chairs. It also carries school necessities, travel essentials, electronics, and home organization tools.

Whether you're re-doing your at-home office or looking to score some high-quality stationery on a budget, Staples will match lower prices found on Amazon for identical products.

10 Epic Western Books For Fans Of 'Yellowstone' and '1923'

How many times can we talk about our love for Yellowstone and 1923 before you think we've move beyond obsession? If you ask us, we're sure you'll be convinced once you scroll through the western books we've added to our must-read piles. Like historical fiction, reading about cowboys, outlaws, and frontier life feels endearing. Now that we think about it, we think it's because these tales are embedded in America's fabric.

Try as we might, we can't resist tales that remind us of the Clint Eastwood movies our grandparents loved watching or summarizing. But now we're in charge of the conversation and know which westerns are worth reading.

The best western books that are full of adventure, crime, revenge, and more!

Amazon

Outlawed by Anna North

Ada never meant to become an "outlaw," but life's funny that way. Prior to earning her new title, she was a new bride who actually loved her husband and journey to become a midwife. However, fear entered her heart as she realized being considered childless would look terrible in the eyes of other townspeople.
After weighing her slim options, Ada leaves her life behind and runs into the Hole in the Wall Gang. With the Kid as their leader, they seek to provide refuge for wrongly ostracized women in a time where fear-mongering led the laws of the land. But one colossal plan may derail the gang's efforts and cost them their lives. It's the very thing that inspires and frightens Ada.
Though Outlawed is set during the late 1800s, it's relevant because women are still treated inferior based on their fertility status. Plus, the conversation around reproductive health continues to be looked at through a limited "childbearing" lens instead of encompassing conditions such as PCOS, fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, uterine cancer, and more.
In our eyes, Outlawed reads like a beacon of hope.

Amazon

Lone Women by Victor Lavalle

Adelaide is physically carrying a "secret" that could upend the new future she's seeking because it's deadly. For reasons readers will discover, this "secret" is responsible for the death of Adelaide's parents and it caused her to leave everything she's known behind.
In search of a new life, Adelaide and her "secret" make the way to Montana in hopes to get free land that's up for grabs. The catch is that people who do so aren't supposed to have anyone with them so Adelaide surely can't let anyone discover what's locked in her truck. But Montana isn't easy to navigate and the one thing Adelaide's been afraid of may be the very thing that helps save her life.
Lone Women is as much of a mystery as it is a western which is perfect for those who love both genres!

Amazon

The Bullet Swallowerby Elizabeth Gonzalez James

Antonio Sonoro's never been a good guy, but that's never mattered to him because he's aware of his heritage. Like those who came before him, he's a skilled gunman who's known for getting into sticky situations others would stay away from. But things have been been tough in Dorado, Mexico and Antonio's grown desperate for a solution that'll help sustain his family.
After learning about a lucrative opportunity, he drags his brother Hugo along for the risky adventure that costs the latter his life. Consumed by rage, Antonio sets off on a path that has dire consequences for his bloodline. It's precisely why his ancestor Jaime Sonoro's life is altered when he discovers the true history of his family. If that weren't bad enough, someone from Antonio's past comes to collect the debt the Sonoros have evaded throughout the years and they're ready to hunt Jaime down unless he can learn about who his grandfather, The Bullet Swallower, really was.
The Bullet Swallower invites readers to learn how "the sins of the father" can affect those born after them and how it's up to us to break generational curses.

Amazon

Whiskey When We're Dry by John Larison

The late 1800s is a tough time to be a young girl, but Jessilyn Harney finds a way to thrive despite challenges that arise. She goes from being alone to discovering that she'll have to hide her girlish figures if she wants people to think twice about trying anything illicit. Not only does this work, but it gives her a spot among the Governor's militia. But they're hunting the only person Jessilyn has left in life — her brother Noah.
Whiskey When We're Dry is a tale that shows two things can be true at the same time and how we often have to make decisions that contradict what we initially thought we wanted.

Amazon

Holding the Reins by Paisley Hope

There's love to be found in the west if you're willing to be open to it and that's what Cecilia "CeCe" Ashby learns in Holding the Reins.
Nursing a broken heart, she travels back home to Laurel Creek, Kentucky to bide her time on the equestrian ranch she grew up on. It's there she comes across the former annoying Nash Carter. Having grown up together, she remembers the many times he and her brothers sought to make her life a living hell. But those days are long gone.
Now CeCe and Nash are all grown up with an unmistakable yearning brewing between them.

Amazon

Lucky Red by Claudia Cravens

Bridget's new in Dodge City and has no idea what to expect until she gains employment at a brothel called the Buffalo Queen. It's not what she had in mind, but she goes from barely surviving to having food, money, and shelter. On top of that, she develops genuine friendships with the women there. But their peace is disrupted when outlaws threaten Dodge City with their presence.
Once again, Bridget has to decide if she's going to run away or defend Buffalo Queen with everything she's got.

Amazon

Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey

Esther's on the run for two reasons: she wants revenge for the brutal murder of her best friend and she wants nothing to do with marrying the man her best friend was formerly promised to. In her mind, there's no better way to right wrongs than by hiding out in the back of a Librarian's book wagon so she help dismantle those who seek to accept one written form of truth.

If we didn't know any better, we'd say that Upright Women Wanted sounds oddly similar to the fight against banned books.

Amazon

Inland by Téa Obreht

Inland converges the path of two unsuspecting individuals — Nora and Lurie — as they grapple with life in the West. Though it initially seems like their lives are different, something magical happens when they align.
Beginning with Nora, readers will watch her story unfold as she faces the uncertainty of the men she loves dearly — her husband and their sons. Between facing a drought and the idea that something invisible could be hunting them, Nora tries her hardest to get through each day.
Then there's Lurie and his spiritual gift of seeing spirits. They keep holding their hands out, expecting him to give them something and it all but drives him mad. The only thing that seems to distract Lurie is the promise of something beautiful with someone he's grown fond of.
Somehow, Lurie's new love draws him close to Nora and they find themselves on a journey that'll leave them forever changed.

Amazon

The Sisters Brothersby Patrick DeWitt

Eli and Charlie Sisters are the skilled hired hands for the strong-willed Commodore, but one of them is wondering why they continue to kill. Ironically, going after Hermann Kermit Warm is what inspired Eli Sisters to question their jobs because he knows this isn't going to be a simple task. But will he continue to follow Charlie into fire or will he decide he's finally had enough of the bloodbath that surrounds them each time the Commodore commands it?

Amazon

The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu by Tom Lin

Ming Tsu grew up preparing for a life in a criminal group, but falling in love with Ada tears him away from that. As the daughter of a railroad magnate, it's clear these two are from different worlds but they refuse to let that get in their way. However, their actions have dire consequences as orchestrated by Ada's father. Not only is Ada kidnapped, but Ming is thrust into servitude for the Central Pacific Railroad. At the end of his ropes, Ming decides to strike up an alliance with someone called the prophet in order to save Ada.
It's a western book that blends magic, revenge, and the supernatural for a fascinating twist that leaves readers wanting more.

In addition to the highly-anticipated return of Natasha Rothwell's Belinda, we're also going to meet characters played by Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Aimee Lou Wood. Talk about a stacked cast! I can't wait to watch the new episodesthis February, but this trailer is definitely holding me over for now!

The White Lotus season 3 premiered February 16, 2025. This season takes place in Thailand (after season 1 took us to Hawaii and season 2 took us to Italy), but amidst the stress-management meditation and incredible food, our cast is dealing with plenty of secrets, testing their limits throughout their week-long vacation.

"What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand," is the perfect way to open the trailer for this debaucherous new season. There's a lot to unpack throughout this almost 3-minute video. Here's what we noticed:

  • The Thailand White Lotus property is stunning! Every season makes me want to book a vacation ASAP.
  • Belinda looks gorgeous — so happy to see our girl thriving!
  • Our classic White Lotus family features kids who clearly have nothing in common or want anything to do with their family.
  • Responding to "I hope you enjoy Thailand," with "We usually go to the Caribbean" is that perfect White Lotus humor I live for. It's not in your face, but it gets the point across so well.
  • Belinda's there to learn and "bring the magic back to Maui." (Could this mean we get a return to the Hawaii resort in a future season?!)
  • Aimee Lou Wood and Walter Goggins playing a multi-generational couple is perfect — especially with little details like Aimee saying Walter should get a facial because someone thought he was her dad. Incredible.
  • "It means we're not dead yet," is such good foreshadowing given the morbid nature of this show.
  • "I think the cosmos brought us together," is more amazing White Lotus writing — these characters are always kooky, eccentric, and so addictive.
  • "We're poor now and daddy's going to prison" is a classic White Lotus character problem. You can't help but love to laugh at the incredulous Rich People Problems on this show!
  • It looks like all the crime described on the island sets up the potential for lots of different whodunnit murder scenarios we could end up with. I have a feeling we'll all be shocked at how this story turns up from who ends up in the body bag to who puts them there.
  • "Someone once said, 'The secret to life is knowing when to stop.'"
  • Oh and we get a new version of the theme song! I'm sure it'll be stuck in our collective brain for many months to come!

We already got hints at 'The White Lotus' season 3 last year.

www.youtube.com

- YouTube

The teaser trailer gave us a glimpse at this exciting season back in December 2024.

"Everyone runs from pain towards pleasure," the teaser trailer voiceover said. "But they get there only to find more pain." The montage of late-night parties and unsettling shots like Parker Posey staring down the camera (and someone grilling a live crab until it catches on fire??) had me convinced from the beginning that The White Lotus season 3 was going to serve us an insane helping of both pain and pleasure.

We also got shots of Patrick Schwarzenegger lounging by the pool, Jason Isaacs taking a paranoid stroll through the jungle, and a coupled-up Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins celebrating the fact their vacation didn't kill them.

And creator Mike White says 'The White Lotus' season 3 is going to be bigger than ever.

We know that The White Lotus season 3 is going to be the biggest season yet, thanks to interviews with the creator and crew. “It’s going to be a supersized White Lotus,” creator Mike White said in an interview with EW. “It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing…I’m super excited about the content of the season.”

And he's not the only one. Natasha Rothwell told PEOPLE that "White Lotus is going to give you a run for your money.”

"It's an excellent season and people are going to be very pleased," she continues. There's always something special about a third season thanks to the combination of familiarity and brand-new adventures, and the seductive intrigue The White Lotus season 3 is already proving my point.

Who's in the White Lotus season 3 cast?

Fabio Lovino/HBO

The White Lotus season 3 cast has a crazy star-studded cast! The list includes:

  • Jason Isaacs as Timothy Ratliff: a financier vacationing in Thailand with his wife and kids.
  • Parker Posey as Victoria Ratliff: Timothy's wife vacationing with her family.
  • Patrick Schwarzengger as Saxon Ratliff: Timothy and Victoria's eldest son who works for his dad.
  • Sarah Catherine Hook as Piper Ratliff: Timothy and Victoria's daughter who's a college senior studying religion.
  • Sam Nivola as Lochlan Ratliff: Timothy and Victoria's youngest, who's a senior in high school.
  • Michelle Monaghan as Jaclyn Lemon: a TV actress joining her friends for a girls' trip.
  • Leslie Bibb as Kate Bohr: one of three BFF's on a girls' trip in Thailand.
  • Carrie Coon as Laurie Duffy: a lawyer escaping the real world with her friends on their girls' trip.
  • Walton Goggins as Rick Hatchett: a mysterious guest at The White Lotus with his younger girlfriend Chelsea.
  • Aimee Lou Wood as Chelsea: a young woman from Manchester traveling with her much-older boyfriend.
  • Lalisa Manobal as Thidapon "Mook" Sornsin: the White Lotus' health mentor.
  • Lek Patravadi as Sritala Hollinger: an owner of the White Lotus.
  • Natasha Rothwell as Belinda Lindsey: spa manager visiting from the White Lotus Hawaii vacation.

Season 3 is always my favorite season of a show — especially considering Gilmore Girls Season 3 Is Simply The Best, And No TV Show Has Matched It Since. Check out our weekend email send for more TV news and the latest news on The White Lotus season 4!
