One of the best ways to get a snapshot of what people were wearing back in the 80s, is to take a gander at some of the adverts, and in today's post, I have several poster ads from two Smash Hits magazines from October and November 1987, one of which featured Philip Schofield on the front cover riding a scooter. This first poster advert is by C&A for the avanti range, and it features a guy wearing a white shirt with thick grey stripes, braces and pleated black trousers. Now, I definitely remember wearing an awful-looking shirt with thick blue stripes and braces around this time, and pleated trousers for men were very popular. This YUPPIE style was as 80s as you could get, and popular with white, middle-class men working in the financial sector of the city of London. Here is another C&A advert, this time for the Clock House range for women. The young lady featured here is wearing a dark grey mini skirt with black polka dots with net underskirt and a matching cropped vest top
