Abstract: Beauty Standard
The 1980’s is one of the most interesting decades that was experienced. Dealing with the stock market, the introduction of new technologies, all the way to the styles of music people are listening to. However, many Americans had fun throughout the 1980s with the beauty industry. The 1980's was a decade that refreshed America's glimmer of empowerment and inspired new confidence. Beauty standards have been around for decades. Beauty and/or fashion continues to be the world’s outlet. In the 1980’s people sure did not hold by on expressing themselves. The 80s was the era of bright, bold, and big. Both men and women were compelled by the beauty industry, trying to fit the ideal beauty standards. Beauty consisted around the fitness and nutrition craze in the 80s, encouraging athletically toned bodies, bodysuits, and tracksuit bottoms. Supermodel and bodybuilding became a sensation, along with leg warmers and big hair. The beauty standards took a toll when the cases of anorexia became a uprise in the 80s, the pressure of looking perfect became an unhealthy obsession.
