This is a real tough one because there were just sooooooo many. I think I am going to have to go with the MC Hammer Parachute pants. They made you look 200 pounds even if you were skinny. I am ashamed to say I had several pair in several different colors:(

Well, I am going to have to go with the Flock Of Seagulls hair style. I mean, what the hell was that anyway? It looked like someone was surfing a wave up there...

Were mullets in the 80's? because if the were, I'm going to have to rank them in the worst hair category too.

lol wasn't that the early 90's ? cause.. I owned many pairs as well.. but i was in grade 6 or so.. and.. that would have made me... what 12 or 13.. and i was born in 80. .
I think that the WORST has got to be the hair and makeup trends. oo dear. i never had the big hair, but i had a few older cousins who had the crazy stylin bleach blond fuzzy headed hair! Lordy lou!
You are right about one thing though.. there were a LOT of many bad trends..
How about the bright neon colours. . or.. the micheal jackson zippery jackets.. or really just most of the music!! lol!!

I had those pants too. (what were we thinking) I think the worst 80's fad was Mall Hair. I don't know the proper name for it but it was the bangs that stood 5-9 inches up off of the forehead that took almost a whole can of aquanet to get it to stay. Tornado winds wouldn't move that hair! LOL
But if not the hair a close second would be leg warmers. LOL

OMG LOL! That was soooo me. I would stand there with the hair dryer in one hand blowing my bangs straight up in the air and a can of hair spray in the other spraying them yo stay that way. I used to do that to the sides of my hair too, so that I looked like a 747 ready for take off. What were we thinking is right!!!
