The document compares and contrasts fashion trends of the 1980s in Spain to fashion in 2014. In the 1980s, fashion was characterized by bold colors, volume, and exuberance. Popular items included patterned shirts with large shoulder pads, straight skirts, miniskirts, and sequined jackets. Fashion in 2014 is more accessible and allows more freedom of choice, though trends do not last as long. While modern fashion is more elegant, 1980s fashion emphasized freedom and bolder self-expression through its lush, dramatic styles. Overall, the author believes 1980s fashion better symbolized the spirit of change in Spanish society at that time.
