SCRUNCHIES
Bolder and louder than the average hairtie, scrunchies took the basic elastic band to the next level.
Whether done up in sparkly fabric or just simple solid colors, they not only kept side ponies and long hair in check, they doubled as wrist accessories.
HUGE EARRINGS
Door-knockers were everywhere in the '80s, from pop stars like Debbie Gibson and Madonna, to the girl next door.
It was the ideal earring for the time of excess, it was loud, clunky, and screamed at everyone within a two feet radius to look at your ears.
DOOKIE CHAINS
The colloquial name for the large, braided gold chains rappers were often seen rocking, you can thank guys like Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie of Juice Crew, and Run DMC for popularizing this look.
The thick rope chains made a statement of luxury and power, and chains still play a huge part in modern hip-hop style.
FOUR-FINGER RINGS
A hip-hop staple, you can thank dudes like Big Daddy Kane for introducing these to hip-hop's sartorial vernacular.
Radio Raheem's "LOVE" and "HATE" rings in Do The Right Thing embedded these accessories into our mindsets forever, and they remain a style staple of hip-hop's golden era.
FANNY PACKS
Before they were instant indicators of tourists, they were practical and stylish.
Where else would you keep spare change to use the payphone? Since most of them were made from synthetic fabrics like nylon and ripstop, they were also appropriately trendy.
Maybe that's why American Apparel made money hand over fist when they re-introduced them to the general public.
