Leg Warmers
Apparently, everyone in the 1980s had cold ankles and wrists. That is the only logical explanation for this fashion fad because why the hell else would people have been prancing around in public and on television screens wearing colorful leg warmers and huge fluffy wristbands all the time?
When clothing stores began to sell different colored leg warmers, girls began to wear them with every outfit. Well, whatever the reasoning, you can be sure that at least one or two pairs of leg warmers could be found in every teenage girl’s wardrobe.
