The Top 5 'Mad For It' Manchester Trends
What made our list of Manchester's best and worst fashion trends from times gone by?
Manchester's thriving and creative music scene has always had a big influence on the fashion trends of the time. Bands like Oasis, The Smiths and The Buzzcocks, have influenced styles across the globe. The 1980s 'Madchester' phenomenon was no exception, so we take a look at the good, the bad and just the down right ugly...
Floppy Hair - What's not to like about the long-haired look? Blunt fringes, covered ears and tapered side burns are now the go-to look for mod revivalists!
Nike Air Max - The original, the classic and still going strong today! Whether you were rocking the blue suede or the orange air bubble, there was nothing better to rave to.
Baggy Tops & Flares - A favourite of all the Manc bands, especially The Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses. After all, you don't want to be wearing anything restrictive when you get your step on!
Parka Coat - Trademarked by Liam Gallagher, no self-respecting Mancunian can be without one in the wardrobe!
Maracas - what more can we say? Not technically a fashion statement, but Bez would look pretty weird on stage without them...
