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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Zendaya stuns while filming 'The Odyssey.'

A post shared by curators of pop culture (@deuxmoi)

Thanks to DeuxMoi, we have a look at Zendaya and Matt Damon filming The Odyssey in Italy. (And no, the spoiler alert isn't for the 2000-year-old plot — it's for the costumes & potential casting confirmation!)

Zendaya wears a cream-colored Chiton with her hair braided into a low bun behind her head while Matt boasts a gray beard and looks a little bit like Tom Hanks in Castaway.

Now, we still don't have official confirmation of who Zendaya's playing in the movie, although she's rumored to be playing Athena (but more on that later). A lot of people in the comments are convinced she's playing Athena, and Zendaya's practical costume supports that rumor in my opinion. But if these two are filming on an island, it could actually prove Z is playing Calypso, who tries to keep Odysseus on her island — or even Princess Nausicaä, who helps Odysseus when he washes up on her island. So it really boils down to whether Zendaya is trying to trap Matt Damon or help him...and we'll have to wait and find out.

"Zendaya booked, busy and beautiful as ever," one Instagram comment reads, while another points out "the fact she was literally Rue filming euphoria nightshoots like barely 48 hours ago 😭😭😭."

Tom Holland sets out on a hero's journey.

WE FINALLY GOT SET PICS OF TOM HOLLAND ON THE SET OF THE ODYSSEY pic.twitter.com/Fv00vudchl

The first leaks we got of Tom Holland filming The Odyssey feature the Spider-Man 4 actor on a boat in Greece — and according to an extra who was on set, Tom was filming scenes of his character arriving in Sparta.

I'm a big fan of the curly hair (even though I remember Tom said he hated his long hair in Avengers: Infinity War because he felt like Prince Charming), but more than one person on the internet has compared Tom's look in The Odyssey to Elijah Woods' Frodo from The Lord of the Rings, and I can't help but laugh.

We also recently got a look at Tom Holland alongside Jon Bernthal as they hung out in a tent off camera (and without their capes) and again I say: the curly hair is doing wonders for me!

Christopher Nolan and Universal haven't confirmed who our favorite stars are playing (aside from the announcement that Matt Damon is leading the story as Odysseus), but rumors have started circulating that Tom Holland will play Odysseus' son Telemachus, who sets out to find his father and is protected by Athena, rumored to be played by Zendaya. This means my favorite couple could get plenty of screen time together, which is literally all I care about.

The rumors also say we could see Anne Hathaway as Odysseus' wife Penelope, Charlize Theron as sorceress Circe, Benny Safdie as Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, and Lupita Nyong'o as Agamemnon's wife Clytemnestra. Stay tuned to find out! Until then, I'll be daydreaming about Tom Holland as Telemachus.
