The sudden fashion change

However, 80s fashion slowly changed as the smooth look started to lose its appeal so people made the looks appear 'rougher'. Men started to make a rougher appearance, an example of this was 'designer stubble' it was fashionable for men to go out unshaven. Women started to find a new found confidence in their fashions and they could wear what they pleased without feeling embarrassed. Madonna helped this look along by creating a deliberately trashy look with black lingerie, crucifixes, and lots of make up, this look caught on with teenage girls almost instantly.
