There’s no doubt that we’re living in a nostalgic world, with so many popular reboots like Fuller House and Dallas making their way back to our TV screens. In fact, Live in Front of a Studio Audience recently recreated episodes from The Facts of Life and Diff’rent Strokes, two popular ‘80s sitcoms.

But fashion and technology, that’s a different story. We’ve come such a long way that we can’t imagine going back to our VCRs and portable cassette players. Take a look at some of these trends that we think are best saved for a time capsule.

Despite being totally functional (we do get cold in leggings!), leg warmers just don’t fit in with today’s style scene. The idea of wearing these to work out, or even worse – with heels – sounds like a big no-no. But the 21st Century relative of leg warmers have shown up as boot socks.

We remember the days of listening the radio, waiting to hear that song, feverishly hitting “Record” and then either missing the beginning or capturing too much of another song. Thank goodness for the modern-day playlist.

The Swatch watch makers knew that the ‘80s were all about bright colors, so they took these basic watches and made them bolder. And some of us were rocking more than one – why, we still don’t understand. We’ll stick with the features in the Apple Watch.

Aqua Net went hand in hand with the hair metal bands of the ‘80s. The bigger the hair, the better. Although we still love listening to Motley Crue and Bon Jovi, we can go without all the hair spray. The environment will thank you.

Standing around while talking on the phone, twirling the phone cord until our fingers were a little too blue – these are those moments we all have fond memories about. But the times where your little sister picked up the phone in the other room and eavesdropped? Let’s keep those in the past.

Joan Collins could rock the shoulder pad in Dynasty but thankfully, women have come a long way in the workplace and can own their worth without having to dress in a masculine suit.

This was a short-lived hair style – and we can see why. It’s hard to imagine that the “tail” was a good look, whether it was loose, a ponytail or a braid. We can only hope that barbers around the world keep the rat tail (and the mullet) a thing of the past.

Popularized by MC Hammer, harem pants were definitely comfortable. The baggy pants were colorful, metallic and everything in between. We’ve seen more modest versions creeping up as athleisure, but hopefully the colors stay more muted.

Some things about VHS tapes were amazing, like home movies and our old prom videos. But what could be worse than seeing all of the tape coming out of the case? By now, we hope you’ve digitized your old memories so that you can keep them safe for years to come.

Remote controls? Voice-controlled Smart TVs? Yes, please. Although having the old TV seemed like a good buy 30 years ago, this is one technology we don’t want to go back in time for. That, and antennas.

It was “in” to show up with the zig-zag, crimped hairstyle, and getting a crimping iron in the ‘80s was an absolute must. It’s hard to imagine what that style actually did to our hair health. Some celebrities have been trying to bring crimping back, but we’re hoping it’s just a passing fad (again).

They were cheap, lightweight (and often neon), but man, were jelly shoes uncomfortable. It’s hard to believe that there was a time that Bloomingdale’s sold them, but luckily today they’ve moved on to more fashionable sandals.

John Cusack made history in 1989’s Say Anything when his character, Lloyd, held up a Boombox playing “In Your Eyes.” At home, our boomboxes were either too loud, too quiet, eating our cassettes or causing us to buy way too many batteries.
