Clothes of the Eighties, Clothes Beginning with Z

The eighties saw a wider variety and quicker change in clothing styles than currently. That's why I thought this list would be fun for others to read and add to, so feel free to send me any suggestions. Years are approximated, since some fashions tended to last longer in some regions opposed to other regions.

Name Sex What When Description
Z Cavaricci pants ? Clothing 1984-7 Remember the ones that used to have about belts or buckles and fit like tuxedo pants (I mean they buttoned really high on your waist).
Z Cavereeches Female pants 84-89 They were pants that both guys and girls wore with the name Z-Cavereechi (I don't know how to spell it) on the fly. And then you cuffed the bottoms of them so they were tight around your ankle. There was an art to the cuffing.
Zany Zappers M/F Accessory Early 80s Zany Zappers were sunglasses with battery-operated flashing red LED lights attached to the outsides of the lenses. When I was in junior high, kids wore them to the school dances and turned them on when the lights were turned down low! Zany Zappers were always worn at night, never in the daytime!
Zebra sweatshirt unisex shirt 1989 I had a white shirt with a black zebra head computer graphic. These came in sizes like "mega-mondo". My girlfriend and I wore them with b/w zebra striped pants and REALLY white sneakers.
Zena Jeans Female Clothes 80's They were straight legged jeans available at finer department stores.
Zero Boots M Foot Wear early - late 80s Original and best Goth Boot, mid calf length, zip up front with 3 buckles.
Zinc Both Sunscreen/Accessory 198? Different bright colored sunscreen often worn over the nose and on the lips with a snazzy pair of vaurnet shades.
Zipper Necklace Female Accessory 198? The zipper necklace was a fad from the early 80s that preceeded the charm necklace. This accessory was either gold or silver and often accompanied by a pair of matching earrings. The beauty of this necklace was its ability to be either a choker or pendant-style necklace at a zip.
Zips sneakers ? Shoes 198? ?
Zodiac Boots Female Shoes 1975-89 Tall pull on boots with stacked leather heel with metal signature on toe. Most pairs are knee high but many rose up to thigh high. Real nice boots.
Zoobas Both Clothing ? Zebra stripped pants. Slightly slanted bottoms. Long on outside leg, shorter on inside. Elastic waist.
