'80s fashion: We've been here before

"Fashion wisdom has it that in bad economies, clothes tend toward the staid, and in boom times "the fantasy is to look downbeat and poor," said Wolfe, citing the grunge-loving '90s as an example. "And now that a tough economy is the reality, we want to look fun." Suddenly, we're living the old adage of hemlines rising and lipstick colors getting brighter when the economy tanks."

    • I'm downbeat and poor and mostly just want to look downbeat and poor.

      Who says that still can't look fun? Forget the glam.
