I Dressed Like It Was 1987
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2017
- I styled 3 outfits inspired by the popular fashions of thirty years ago! From the hair metal rockers and groupies, to blazer-clad working ladies and teen pop idols decked out in acid wash jeans, I had a great time pretending it was 1987 and exploring fashion history through one of the most iconic decades - the 80s. Let me know what you think of my ~lookbook~ and if you want to see more of these!
A huge thanks to Kayley Melissa for rocking out this 80s hair! You can check out her channel here: / letsmakeitup1

HELLO FRIENDS!!! hope u guys enjoy this adventure into 80s fashion! who's ready for 77? lmao
Safiya Nygaard YESSSS
Safiya Nygaard meeeee!
Safiya Nygaard YES ME !!!! Also you looked really good in all of them!!
Safiya Nygaard I love you so much yasss girl hit the 77
heyyyyy saf ilysm!!
It's so weird seeing someone dressed as the 80s with a high quality camera
Right!? Where's the "filmed with a potato" fuzziness?
Try putting it on 144p.
I've seen a parody of "Casablanca" with this desclaimer: "Purists must turn down the saturation to see this in Black&White"
Here should be "old timers must lower image quality"
Stranger things?
I mean I dress like that even before I watch this video
I swear you can pull off any look
Not for long.She spends too much time in the sun without a good hat on.Exposing her face so much to the sun is ALREADY starting to make her look older than Cher.Cher is smart enough to ALWAYS protect her face and neck 100% from the sun.
adrienne gellman Your comment is pretty rude, leave her alone
Martha Yanders That's not really Safiya
Today could be your last day on earth. Have you repented and asked God to forgive you for your sins? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Heaven and hell are real. If you've never asked God to forgive you and if you never accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you'll die in your sins and be condemned to hell. If you repent and accept Jesus, then you'll go to heaven. Jesus doesn't care what you've done in life, everyone is a sinner in need of a Savior, which is Jesus Christ. Only Jesus can save you from the torments of hell. Jesus paid the debt for our sins when he sacrificed his life for us on the cross. We are cleansed and saved by his blood. We get to heaven by having faith in Jesus and his finished work on the cross. If you wanna be saved, then read the sinners prayer or anything that speaks from the heart. Be sincere. God is listening to you. He'll forgive you for anything you've done and accept you and give you eternal life in heaven because he LOVES you and always will 😊 Today is the day for salvation 😊 Jesus is waiting for you to accept his FREE GIFT OF SALVATION 😊 He'll accept anyone. No matter how bad you are 😊💖 Jesus is loving 😊💖 Turn to Jesus while you still have breath in your lungs because it'll be too late after you take your last breath. Your fate will be sealed. Its all your choice where you'll spend eternity. Either in heaven or in hell. The soul never dies. CHOOSE JESUS TODAY AS YOUR SAVIOR! 😊 He shed his blood for your sins 😊 We are saved by his blood and go to heaven by having FAITH 😊 Faith is trusting in him and his promise when he said: For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only begotten Son (Jesus Christ), that whosoever believes in him (Jesus) shall not perish (go to hell) but have everlasting life (eternal life in heaven) john 3:16. Accept Jesus, repent and never lose faith 😊 God bless you 😊 Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven. Theres no other way. Jesus is God in the FLESH 😊💖 Praise the Lord
adrienne gellman she doesn't even look older??
I really want her to collaborate with Bernadette Banner and make a “I dressed like it was 1887” video.
That would be absolutely legendary and I love it already
Yeah, wearing a humongous bustle would be bonkers lol
I was literally talking about that with my sister! It would be so awesome! Or even an Edwardian look.
shut up this would be amazing
Okay but that " working women" outfit is so cute, I love the aesthetic of office wear in the late 80's early 90's
It’s funny hearing her say some of this stuff isn’t in style like the leather pants or even now the 80s - 90s workwear is in style
@@lukefierro2180 and the blazer trend nowadays (although less extreme shoulder pads)
yess, reminds me of heathers!!!
Safiya looks so normal with the outfits she can seriously pull off anything... but when Tyler showed his outfit I lowkey died.... couldn’t stop laughing 💀😂😂😂
juliet - I know right! Me too. 😂😂
I paused the video. His hair killed me I'm typing this from my coffin 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
But they also kinda looked really good together
I don't know why, but his hair reminded me of batman😂
All my friends said I looked so pale I looked dead, I think I really am now.🤣🤣🤣
Tyler is the definition of supportive boyfriend! What an awesome guy!
Pamela Whiting yeah he doesn't seem remotely embarrassed by her in public 😂
RIGHT !!!
Also remember saf is making tons of money so........
@Kate Haha you shouldn't be saying sorry, that's definitely what they implied by saying saf is making tons of money. Definitely it's a factor that this is Saf's job so of course he wants to be supportive but it's also just a bit of fun... I don't see any harm in it. It's not that embarrassing if you're both dressed a bit ridiculous
He also works just as hard. He is ALWAYS filming her and I am sure he helps with editing. Its a partnership, duh
This vid should have just been titled: Winona Ryder through the ages
Julia Faith
we stan
JOYCE. BYERS.
@@brokenstudios7729 yasss
@@brokenstudios7729 and Veronica Sawyer
That’s who it’s reminding me of!! God, I thinking this entire video, “who is this outfit reminding me of”
The long straight hair made another comeback in the 90s and nowadays it's either short or layered. The 80s really had the largest hair, makeup, and style selection out of the entire 1900s.
I had THE BEST time styling your and Tyler's hair for this!!!
& Casually making both of you about 3" taller just with hair 🙈😂
Kayley Melissa you did great!
Your work was amazing!
Kayley Melissa You did a great job! :)
Each hairstyle was spot on! Great job!
From someone who lived through the 1980s - you did a fantastic job!
My mother, a certified 80s teenager, has said your hair still wasn’t big enough
She couldnt do the spiral perm we all had for a temporary look. Yep, 3 hrs and a whole can of hair spray and a pick, everyday before school.😄
Aqua net held that hair up
your mom is right :D it has to be huuuuge :D and you need to use 1,5 bottles of hairspray :D
Lillian H same lol
@@Keksdich i did that look and i used 2.9 bottles😂
Tyler: Have you ever touched a guitar?
Safiya: Not an electric guitar. A normal guitar.
Me: ...you mean, acoustic? o.O
I had the exact reaction. Like girl, an electric guitar *is* a normal guitar.
Lol I almost died when she said that I was like"ummm do u know what that guitar is called!?" Lol
I play acoustic im in a smol band
As a an 80s teenager wannabe I can confirm these outfits are spot on 😌👑
As an actual '80s teenager (for the last three years, anyway) I can confirm they ARE spot on. :)
I sent this to my mom because she was a teenager in the 80's,
She said it was more accurate than even some fashion magazines.
And your grammar in the first sentence is top notch
I was a teen in the 80s as well
so was my mom, and she agrees lol
i sent to both of my parents and it was good
You' re right!
(I was a teen in the 80's too)
I legitimately like the “working girl” outfit you put together and would 100% wear that
Ashley L right? Not to mention the look suits safiya so well. She looks adorable in it.
Ashley L SO DO I
its hot!
Ashley me too
2 things
- It’s ADORABLE
-She looks FANTASTIC IN IT
The 1980s are my favorite decade fashion-wise (at least) because of how diverse and unique the non-work outfits were. Neon, pastel, tracksuits, acid-wash denim, huge earrings, high ponytails, big hair, mullets, jelly shoes, bucket hats, Converse, Keds, leggings, stirrup pants, leg warmers, slouch socks, chunky plastic necklaces, multi-color eyeshadow, etc.
And all in various combinations, matched or mismatched! It's like the 'dress like your fantasy' Hippie style of the 1960s, only Up to Eleven! Totally tubular! :D
Lol yeah, I wish we had fun fashion like the 80s again :(
@@NostalgiCrazy Well, we can still dress in those fashions now. As long as we're willing to deal with anyone who might consider us weird for dressing in fashions from the pre-21st century past that is.
The first outfit: Def Leppard
Second outfit: Veronica Sawyer in red
Third outfit: 🧐 IDK
Veronica Sawyer in red
Do you mean: Heather Chandler
Third outfit was like Debbie Gibson or Tiffany, Debbie was known for bowler hats and Tiffany for denim jackets.
First outfit: Joan Jett!
Second outfit: Every businesslady from every '80s movie about money ever.
Third outfit: SO MANY of the girls in my Junior High...
3rd look :any mall-rats 😂😂😂
Safiya nails it. She really does her research. No crazy neon and leg warmers that so many people seem to think that what everyone wore in the 80's. I really really enjoy watching Saf's videos!
but people did wear that stuff too!
Caty Butler some people did. But honestly, that wasn't the prime style of the 80s 🙂
I love this whole sociology and history as seen through fashion thing. If she keeps going next is my birth year which should be... harrowing.
neon an leggings were the thing though..maybe the earlier 80's but she got the more classic passable styles...;-)
my parents were teens at the time, and bright colors and neons were HUGE trends in high schoolers and college aged people, but people underestimate the influence hair metal had on fashion. also, most people wore similar clothes to today’s; jeans and graphic t-shirts. My mother and I were talking about this earlier; trends cost money, which most people either weren’t willing to spend or did have. most people didn’t and don’t follow trends to the extreme (though all clothes are influenced by trends, like how the color and cut of jeans changes every few years) for price or insecurity reasons, so casual graphic and button up T-shirts with jeans were very common.
neons usually came in through jewelry and accessories, again for money reasons. it’s a lot cheaper and cost effective to get a pair of neon pink earrings you can wear with most anything than a full outfit in neon
how does saf legit look good in everything she tries HOW
RIGHT !
omg ikr!!!!
Brause she is wearing it with a lot of confidence, if you have a lot of confidence everything will look good on you. I wish I had so much confidence 😍😍
Tori Maye the first outfit looked so hot on her omg
Tori Maye ikr like OMG GIRL DO U EVER LOOK BAD
I asked my mom what she thought and this is what she said
"No guy would be caught dead in the Flock of Seagulls hair. Maybe Robert Smith from The Cure. Head-to-toe acid wash was reserved for magazines and the dweebs who were trying to hard. Ditto on the mismatched accessories in the hair band look. Other than that, pretty darn accurate."
This comes from my mom who was 15 in 1987.
Part 2
"And yes, we spent HOURS on our hair. My graduation pix, remember? If I did it that way for school, I would need to get up around 5:00am to get to school by 7:40. Most of the time, though, you did the bangs and pulled the rest up with a scrunchie, banana clip or a barrette."
Mismatched earrings were huge in the metal scene, which is what she was going for, often because multiple ear piercings that were more common in the metal scene too. I was a teen metalhead in the 80s and I purposefully mismatched or friends would trade earrings so each of you had one. Earrings almost as best friend necklaces because each of you had one.
Born in '83 here. The working woman look was how my mom dressed when I was growing up 🤦♀️😂😂😂 And the teen look is what I rem my babysitters dressed as and I too wore the shoulder pads! They put shoulder pads in EVERY CLOTHING!! I had both acid washed jeans, jean jackets and matching skirts with matching jean jacket outfit. Me and my BFF were twining at school in kindergarten one day. All the teachers thought we were so cute! 😂😂
Saf suits the 80s better than anyone I've ever seen.
hi im your fan
That's exactly what I was thinking! She looks so amazing!!
She looks like my sister did in the 80s
Saf looks like the cool mom hitting the town lmao
hopelovestyler lmao 😂
😂😂😂
I see you everywhere
Who else got excited when they seen that picture of Queen ???
@Ella Moe because she used it as an example of glam rock from the 70s not as an example of 80s fashion
MAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAA
Me 💅👽
I always get excited when I see a picture of Queen, darling
Mee I thought I was the only only one
The way you did your makeup and hair in the first look genuinely makes you look exactly like my mum did in the 80s. She was in her 20s then and in her younger pics you genuinely look like the spitting image of her. I showed her you in that look and she said it made her feel nostalgic. She was also happy that I said she looked like you haha
i really love these videos because you do research and you explain it, which is really interesting! . you don't just google '80s clothes'. you also explain how you found all the items. also you're just really beautiful and funny
i was thinking this exact thing!! like i really appreciate the nod to all the women joining the workforce and how she did her research on the different musical and social movements of the time
livvv yeah Saf does amazing work and research!
This is really well done. Shes amazing. Honestly Im not even into fashion and makeup but the way she explains things and how brings me in. I really like her and her work a lot. Very interesting.
livvv 1k like
livvv i agree :)
She reminds me so much of Veronica// Winona Ryder
ikr! that's what i first thought lol
I myself am Strange and Unusual
I think it’s the smile 😊
@@alienindisguise5546 :000 bugbeverage!!
@@sleepisfortheweak9907 what is Betelgeuse
I love how she pulls off every style she's tried. She looks absolutely amazing in everything ❤💕
When heathers appeared on the screen, I got so happy xD
I don't know why- Probably because I really love Heathers-
Me too (^v^)
I wonder if people walking on the street during these videos think safiya is a time traveler
Doc Marty you there
That would be very funny
Lol
brave of you to think that she isnt a time traveler
outfit one: generic older sibling
outfit two: literally my mom
outfit three: someone i probably had a crush on
I wish I was born in these older decades when everything was so simple.
Kaycee And Carson D Ya I know right but im still scared of the World War
Stranger things
But I’m not the older sibling
Like number 1000!!
Yep. You nailed it. I definitely wore these things but I was a hair rebel and just let my hair be. No hair spray but it was naturally large like that. I recognized the Flock of Seagulls hairdo immediately. We used to laugh about that one on MTV.
i'm actually just here for the glam metal look😂
No no she didn’t. She didn’t. IM LAUGHING SO MUCH!!! She dragged Tyler into this video 😂🤣
DUUUUUDE!!! I was NOT expecting that. I LOVED IT!
So good!! He pulled it off so well!
He pulled it off but it took me about five minutes to get the courage to open my eyes and continue the video
I feel you.
He's on his channel too if you enjoyed this. Xx
Tyler: you look like a Ruth
Safiya: First of all, I'm CHERYL
baby dab Dan and Phil sims 4😂
When my name IS Cheryl.....
That one cracked me up, especially the "I look like someone's mom" line in addition to the "you look like a Ruth", because...my mom IS a Ruth and she did dress like that when necessary in the '80s. XD
The last one reminds me of the people in starcourt mall in stranger things s3🤣
Amelie Tero Stranger Things really gets it right on what the 80s looked like!
A lot of my clothes are 80s leftovers. I absolutely loved the decade. I even have a Swatch watch collection from back then, and they all look and work just fine. I have 47 of them. I listen to mostly 80s music as well. (Jan Griffiths).
TYLER LOOKS LIKE WOLVERINE!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
And Thunderbird :p
Omg yes!!!!
Safiya Nygaard is that really you,???!!
In fact it's a devilish villain look with the horns and brutal looking top.
You actually really suit all the hairstyles! The mini history lesson was cool too, less embarrassing than the 2007 version anyway...
da uma passadinha no meu canal xeru nas ureias é xoxx !!!!
The "80's Hair God" may only be appeased by sacrificing many cans of hair spray
How many is enough?
That first outfit is exactly my mom, and she still owns the aesthetic
Just came over here to say YOURE A FUCKING GENIUS WTF
I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm not surprised she's so successful on youtube. Safiya is the BOMB!
Patrick Swayze, Freddie mercury, Heathers and Phil lester....this is the best thing ever omg
YES!
retroparkers Whitney. Houston. Too.
y’all forgot about Michael 😭🤷🏽♀️
IKR!!!
Heathers ❤️
As someone who's into older fashion, I love Saf's dress like the decade videos.
The second outfit is soooo Heathers 😍😍
also her outfits were on point!! 😍
vivian You watch ricegum lmao
BRISA MANZO so what that she watches him?
Yeah foreal! Her first outfit made her look like a badass
vivian 🔥🔥🔥🔥
oi da uma passadinha no meu canal xeru nas ureias...
Saf literally looked so beautiful in the second outfit
I agree! I loved that one.
v thop
my favorite outfit for sure!! bring this style back!!!
Safiya looks so good in every single outfit, and she wears them so naturally, not costume-y
Bro princess bride was my favorite movie ever for like 3 years straight
She literally could be a history teacher and i would never be bored
Each day she would come dressed up from a different time period.
Second outfit has Heather Chandler vibes 👠👑
It does thoooo
i was about to comment that
Yessss
I was looking for this comment
Ahhh finally
CherryBOMBBB she looks like Winona tho
So this made me think of some thing that happened at my school. There was a 80s themed dance thing they decided to have were we had to dress in 80s clothing i decided to do a rocker chic rock glam thing that's school appropriate.
every one said i look like a stripper/hooker
Cool nice 👍👍
That stuff was normal in the 80s 😳
that was so fucked up of them to say tho..
And they all dressed in leggings, neon, and side ponytails, right?
@@hadihatab3126 pretty much
I’m here from my the mystical year of 2022… and the glam rock outfit feels like everything I see on my Tik Tok for you page 😂😂😂
Saf is so freaking clever, one of the best youtubers nowadays. Lowkey glad she left Buzzfeed lmao
Vanessa Ferrer agree. Talk about quality content
I would be pretty happy for 80’s fashion to make a comeback 😂👌
blackglittercandy me too! normally I'm not into it but the way saf rocked it made me love it lol
they actually are!!..lol
blackglittercandy
It has been. Crop tops, high waisted stuff, and checkers were huge in the 80's out in the 0's and then came back in 2016-17
blackglittercandy hell no i reFUSE TO look like a LION
@blackglittercandy lol nahhhh thanks 😂
THE 80’s were the BEST TIMES EVER 🎉❤🎉
safiya:shows queen
me, a die for queen fan:OMG THATS QUEEN
I'm also a MJ fan so.... double kill😂😂
(As well as Queen) I’m an Mj and david Bowie fan soooo...
I couldn't see Rog though :(

Larissa Moores MEEEEW
HEATHER...and SOMEONE
what's you damage, heather?
AAAAAAHHHHHH
ranthetrashcan HEATHER HEATHER HEATHER AND A BABE
Ok why does she look amazing in the second outfit?
the trick about fashion is you dont have to wait til something is "in fashion" to wear it. you have to just wear it and make it in fashion. push the boundaries, there are no rules besides your own
Why does Saf kinda remind me of young Winona Ryder?😂💙
IKR
Minela Salkic I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING! also I love your profile picture👌

Loved my blue eyeshadow and mascara, loved the accidwash jeans
I had big hair for shure.
Loved the bright colors, but was also a Madonna look- alike
I had a perm, lots of curls
Loved my short light blue jacket with major shoulderpads!
And yes I did a full acid wash jeans outfit too
Grate memories. Thank you!
80s fashion has to come back 🥺
I know right I really wanted to come back I'll be prepared .🙂🙂

Yeah, racism, homophobia and sexism. Would love to live than!
@@elenigalanis3645 80's weren't racist, look a lot of movies and music too with black singers and actors. Gays were dominant on pop music like Elton John, Freddie Mercury and Boy George.
@@elenigalanis3645 Yeah, because society was just full of hatred and oppression until you came along lol. Seriously though what are they teaching you kids in schools?

Yep, did that hair every stinkin day! Used a can of AquaNet per week. Crazy Crazy decade, but we definitely had the best music!
Joanie G the music part i can agree with, my mom was born in exactly 1980 and ive heard the songs and im IN LOVE WITH THEM. wayyy better than the music in this generation.
Oh Kay your mom was born during a good time she was a kid in the 80’s and a teen in the 90’s mine was a kid in the 70’s and a teen in the 80’s😋
My dad was a ‘79 kid so he taught me 60-90s music
I think you guys are the reason of air pollution. If we removed all the hairspray from the air we would all stop slowly suffocating
Potatuh well no the main cause of air pollution is the fashion industry 😁
Safiya in 2019- I dressed like it was 2019 (the attack of the vsco girls)
glam metal on safiya looks so good ❤️
WOW SAF YOU KILLED IT 😍
C I think 80s hair reallllyyyyy suits her
C i freaking loved the second hairstyle on her
This video really helped me out with a project i was doing. thank you for the info on 1987 clothing styles!
Safiya in 2017: I'd bring back the shoulder pads
The world in 2020/2021: okay safiya I shall do as you please
yeah but they did it on the ugliest t-shirts I've ever tried on. I would rather wear the 80s ones that the weird sleeveless monstrosities I've seen fairly recently in stores. Though I've also tried a modern toned-down prom dress which looked pretty authentic. I feel the new-80s trend that came with Stranger Things passed too soon, now it's 90s-00s fashion again and I'm still too traumatized about having to wear it in my teens to enjoy the ride with genZ girls 😆Why couldn't they wait until their big sis or moms forgot how it was to wear massive shoes, veryyy low waistline on jeans, and belly-button revealing crop tops, before making it come back lol
Who else is on a Safiya Marathon??:))
Julia Clayton meeeeeee
I've been on a marathon of listening to her videos for a couple days now. But I think I'm ending it soon XD
Julia Clayton 4 days going strong
Saf looks so good with bangs, the last hairstyle suited her so well.
You gave winona ryder vibes. I love the 80s aestetic. It looks really good on you.
Aw this made me feel so nostalgic I grew up in the 80s and 90s and Saf you did a REALLY good job with the looks. You could definitely wear the second and third outfit
This is so unfair! YOU LOOK GOOD IN EVERYTHING! HOW!?!?!?!?
Step 1: Be attractive
it be that confidence
She looks so much like Veronica in the working outfit
I was thinking more of a Heather Chandler, But hey! A Heathers fan!
BLAZE ARTS AND GAMES Veronica trying to be a heather, in my opinion.
She said that because
Veronica has black curly hair.
Yes I was just about to say that..
Yeah, that's why I clicked. She's gorgeous. 😁
I loveeeeeeddd seeing Queen and David Bowie in this video. 💛 Now I feel super happy about this video.
I was born in '87 and a lot of these trends still trickled into the early 90s. Acid wash denim separates, crimped hair, denim jackets, shoulder pads, big scrunchies, high top shoes (I know some of those weren't mentioned, yet iconic nonetheless)... As kids we didn't get perms but we begged our moms to use the crimping iron on our hair once in a blue moon so we could have a fun 'do for a few days.
born in 89 here, my mom liked to crimp my hair, which made me look like a poodle, which my classmates bullied me for so I didn't exactly understand the appeal at that time LOL (and still don't honestly, though I like the perm and thinking about getting one atm)
I don't know if it's been said already/enough but I love how in depth Saf goes for her videos when it comes to historical and background knowledge. she could just do a video where she tries all these wild outfits and be done with it but instead she includes research as well. I feel like I'm in a history class, but in a fun way. I love it!
Yes! I love that she puts history and humor in her videos
I completely agree with you!!
Karli McNaughton shes def going places she’s so talented buzzfeed should seriously be pissed she left
heyyyy while y'all are liking and replying to this comment go ahead and check out my recent video i could've gone blind maybe idk I'm not a scientist but it makes good clickbait, no? (shameless promo just GREAT)
She looked so beautiful in all of these outfits especially the second one was so cute
Yes I loved her hair so much
Omg I completely love it, especially the working girl outfit. Praying this comes back!!
THIS WAS SPOTTTTT ON THANK YOU 🙏. I GREW IN THE 80s and remember all this RAD FLASHBACK
