Abstract
Clothing is an important factor that affects the beauty of women's form, and it is also an external manifestation of women's thinking. The popular women's clothing in the West in the 1980s had a very unique and significant style, to the extent that the aesthetic formed by women during this period has continued to the present day. Nowadays, many fashion designers often refer to the fashion elements of the time when creating. The formation of style is inseparable from the historical background. This study analyses the factors that influenced the style of women's clothing in the 1980s by consulting literature, websites, and books. That was an era when women began to gradually enter the workplace. Influenced by the background of this era, women's clothing broke away from the limitation of showcasing women's physical appearance and more developed towards a neutral and capable style. At the same time, due to the vigorous development of the economy, extravagance and exaggeration became the mainstream at that time. All of these have formed the unique trend of women's clothing in the 1980s. The significance of this study is to analyze the causes of Western women's clothing styles in the 1980s in detail, in order to gain a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the fashion history of that period.
