The 1980 fashion was socks in bright colors in several layers. Layered stretched socks were generally a staple in women's fashion, although they were worn not only by women, but also by men.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Choose socks

1. 1 Decide how many layers you want to wear. In theory, you can wear as many socks as you can fit your shoes on, but it's still better to wear two or three pairs. This is a common practice, even in the 80s, and will keep your feet from sweating a lot.
2. 2 Get the right socks. In the 80s, you could easily find socks that were specially designed to be worn on top of one another. These long socks are made of highly elastic material and can be easily gathered up. The material from which they are made is very thin and this prevents the feet from sweating a lot. If you can't find specialty socks, look for colorful, thin socks that reach mid-calf length or higher.
3. 3 Match colors. In the 80s, it was very important to choose the right colors for your layered socks. The colors should match your outfit and each next sock should be a different shade from the previous one. For example, if your shirt has white, orange, and red, your socks should also be white, orange, and red.

Method 2 of 2: How to put on socks

1. 1 Pull the first pair of socks as high as possible over your leg. The toe should be smooth and not wrinkled.
2. 2 Put on the second pair of socks after the first. This pair should also be stretched as high as possible over the leg, and should also be smooth without wrinkles.
3. 3 Slip on a third pair over the first two. Again, wear it as high as possible.
4. 4 Moving down to the ankle, slide the top (third) layer. You can also nudge the top layer down.Either way, the sock should be visible one or two inches (3-5 cm) above your ankle.
5. 5 Pull the second layer down. One or two inches (3-5 cm) of the bundled material should be visible above the top first layer of the sock. Don't let this middle layer overlap the top layer. Both layers must be visible and distinguishable.
6. 6 Pull the bottom layer down. One or two inches (3-5 cm) of material should be visible above the middle layer of the sock and all three layers should be visible and visible.
7. 7 Choose a different 80s style outfit to match the look of your socks.
   • Wear a bright, oversized floral top that matches your socks.
   • Wear capri leggings that just barely reach your socks, or pull your layered socks over a long pair of leggings to show them off.
   • Complement the ensemble with high-top sneakers and an overload of colorful embellishments.

Tips

• Shop online at an 80s style sock store where you can find a wider selection of colors than you would if you looked for them in brick-and-mortar stores. In addition, most of the socks currently in production have been refined to include additional nylon and spandex inserts to create pleats in the leg.
• Instead of leggings, you can also wear your socks with skinny jeans or denim miniskirts. Whatever you are wearing, make sure your socks are visible.
