1980

New Romantics
The New Romantics were a glamorously dressed evolution from punk and wore ostentatious, foppish clothes. Their clubs were Billy’s in Soho’s Meard Street, opened in 1978, and Blitz, where their habit of mid-week clubbing gave them the name the 'Blitz kids'. New Romantics listened to synthesised electro-pop by groups such as Spandau Ballet and Electrovox.

Casuals
Casuals came from the ever-strong tradition of working-class male 'sharp dressing'. Casuals dressed down in outwardly conventional menswear, but wore fiercely expensive labels: Fred Perry shirts, Pringle jumpers, and Burberry accessories. They were as likely to gather at football matches as at soul-music 
clubs in Essex.
