Hollywood's Take On Back-To-School Fashion

Trends come and go, but movies and TV shows are forever. Let's head back to school and learn how the cool kids dressed through the ages.

The 50's

Was it love at first sight? The girls of Grease show off their finest fifties fashions for the first day back from a summer of lovin!

Goodbye grey sky, hello blue. These are the happiest of days if you're into lettermen jackets and sweater vests.

The 60's

The free lovin' 60's got kick started with a simple can of hairspray.

What would you do if I dressed like a member of the Arnold family today? Would you stand up and walk out on me?

You see kids, this is what happens when you let the sunshine in.

The 70's

Some people are a little dazed and confused about the fashion choices of the 70's.

Looking for the hippest 70's swimwear? Why not try the peaceful and notoriously shark-free waters of Amity Island?

What "That 70's Show" lacked in creative title making, it made up for in super fine 70's threads.

The 80's

When you absolutely, positively must cut loose in the 80's, my advice is to kick off your Sunday shoes.

For those of us that lived through the 80's, it doesn't get much more accurate than The Goldbergs... sadly.

Heathers showed us the quint-essential fashion must-have of the 80's... shoulder pads.

The 90's

The flannel, the animal print, the backwards pre-Kanga hat, and now you're not Clueless about fashion in the 90's.

During the 90's being cool meant buttoning your pants right above your navel.

School just started, but your parents are out of town, what do you do? House Party!

The 00's

When going back to school, some of us were Mean Girls, some were nice girls, and some were that dude in the back face-palming.

Ah, the 2000's back when the worst you could say about Amanda Bynes was that she was the man.

Man, the 2000's were kinda bland.

The 10's???
