Neon was huge in the '80s. Neon-colored clothes, neon hair, and even neon-colored makeup. So why did everyone in that decade want to look like an electric rainbow? 80sfashion.org theorizes it might be due to the youthful optimism Gen X brought to the era. If so, then it would seem to be a good sign that over 22% of our poll respondents said they'd like to see neon colors back on the store shelves.

Coming in a close second, with over 20% of the vote, were the ever-practical legwarmers. After all, your calves can get cold in winter, so legwarmers are one fashion trend your mom's sure to approve of. In fact, she might even have an old pair tucked away somewhere. In third place with almost 18% was big hair, though we'd hope that nouveau hair poofers would do the environmentally responsible thing by using a non-aerosol hairspray. Spandex and side ponytails both had 15+% of the vote, though the material that puts the shape in your shapewear nudged out the lopsided look to take 4^th place. In last place, earning less than 9% of the vote, was Madonna's jewelry. This is '80s Material Girl Madonna we're talking about, so think rubber gasket bracelets and rosaries rather than the Kabbalah bracelets she adopted in the '90s. Not that we're expecting a resurgence of that trend, either — sorry, Madge, but that's just how it goes when you're living in a material world.
