I had a black-n-white check, long-sleeve, button-front shirt in a sort of sheeting cotton in the early 80s. I loved it.

Tamika: yes, of course people wore black in the '80s. It was frequently paired with pastels or neon colours. Like you would wear a neon green shirt, black trousers, neon green socks, and black shoes. Matching the socks to the shirt is very '80s. Even more so if they are slouch socks. Goths also wore black, including black makeup. Robert Smith was the classic example of '80s Goth. The '80s Goths did wear other colours mixed in sometimes too>>usually white or red. Black leather was popular with rockers. Hope this helps.

I can honestly say I have ALWAYS loved black and white checked clothes like those pictured here. I loved 'em as a kid/preteen in the 80's and then as a teenager in the mid 90's return of ska. Now I still like to wear a black & white checker headband with a black and yellow outfit to jazz it up and as a nod to my being a ska fan. Love this look!

Black-and-white checkerboard clothes were part of a late-70s early-60s-revival trend that continued into the early 80s, most famously associated with the UK's Tutone music label and the revival of early 60s ska beginning around 1978. By 1979, high-fashion designers in Paris were showing it as well, but it was recognized at the time as a revival of 60s styles. Another popular checkerboard color combination at the time was pink and turquoise, which also had a retro feel to it.
