While it is fun to admire the $230 floral-and-polka dot ensembles (with matching bolero!) on the pages of teen fashion magazines, real people actually just wore normal clothes from Sears.
Luxurious earth-tone velour perma-press clothes. What was waiting for teenagers under the tree in 1980? How about some really tall pants? (Click to enlarge)
Or a coat made out of extruded plastic?
This “Cuddle-Quilt Robe” conveniently immobilizes the wearer, making it ready-made for kidnappings and fraternity pranks!
You know you’re thinking it: How do you use the bathroom in that thing?
I can’t imagine any parent thinking this would be an appropriate purchase for their daughter:
Now, we can’t leave the teen-dudes out of the fun. This guy looks like he should be holding a lightsaber (“Only six months ’til Empire Strikes Back!”):
And then we’ve got these two. Hubba-hubba:
White People wear Western Shirts like this… but Black People wear western shirts like this….
“Western” was really big in 1980. You can even dress your toddler up like a tiny JR Ewing!
Of course, you could always skip the clothes and get a $1125 Betamax:
Look at this selection of over twenty movies you can choose from!
$75 is a small price to pay to be able to watch The Towering Inferno whenever you want!
Lost Classics of Teen Lit: 1939-1989 
That movie list is quite something. The prices!
But I have some comments about the cover.
1. I had that Fisher-Price nursery school & bumpy ride school bus when I was little! I also had Sesame Street Little People, who included Susan, Gordon, Mr. Hooper, and Big Bird (perhaps others—Cookie Monster, maybe?)
2. The dad is wearing a full-length nightgown.
3. Why is the mom wearing hooker makeup on Christmas morning?
(My husband helpfully suggested that maybe she just got off work.)
Hahaha! I’ll post some more of these in the future, there are also matching Christmas Pajamas for the whole family, including old-timey night caps to go with the night-dress for Dad!
