"If you&amp;#x27;re a child of the 80s, like I am, then you know that the greatest director of our time isn&amp;#x27;t Coppola, Scorsese, Tarantino, or Spielberg--it was John Hughes, duh. When he died on Thursday at just 59 years old, I decided it was time for a trip through his unmatchable oeuvre to uncover the greatest 80s fashion moments he captured on film. The Breakfast Club (1985) Molly Ringwald was the shallow, self-obsessed suburban princess whose wardrobe I totally envied (those boots!) and who learned to love sushi long before it was de rigeur. Judd Nelson&amp;#x27;s tough look of fingerless gloves and a ratty jean jacket are still inspiring designers on the runway. But if I had to choose the film&amp;#x27;s singular unforgettable fashion moment? That would be when Nelson&amp;#x27;s resident bad boy character, John Bender, asks Mr. Vernon: &amp;quot;Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?&amp;quot; Classic. Weird Science (1985) Again, Hughes has given us an embarrassment of fashion riches to choose from--Kelly LeBrock, the smoking-hot model come to life; the movie&amp;#x27;s nerdy protagonists keeping their shoes and shorts on while they shower with her; Wyatt in a crop top!--but the boys creating their dream woman while wearing bras on their heads definitely takes the cake, don&amp;#x27;t you think? Ferris Bueller&amp;#x27;s Day Off (1986) Has anything ever captured the mood of the mid-80s better than Sloane Peterson&amp;#x27;s fringed white leather jacket? Mrs. Bueller&amp;#x27;s heavily shoulder-padded business suit runs a close second. Sixteen Candles (1984) Samantha Baker&amp;#x27;s wardrobe might not have been the best part of this utterly classic Hughes flick, but you&amp;#x27;d be hard pressed to forget her cotton skivvies. &amp;quot;Last night at the dance, my little brother paid a buck to see your underwear.&amp;quot; And so continues one of the most mortifying birthdays in teenage history... Pretty in Pink (1986) Molly Ringwald cemented her Brat Pack fame when she took two hideous pink prom dresses and turned them into...one New Wave hideous prom dress! Just goes to show you what a girl from the wrong side of the tracks can do with a thrift store find, a needle and thread, and a little ingenuity. In case you hadn&amp;#x27;t heard, 80s fashion is back in a big way for fall, so it&amp;#x27;s time to add some John Hughes movies to your Netflix queue and brush up on style from the Brat Pack era. What was your favorite John Hughes movie, dolls? How many times have you seen it? And which of his characters did you most relate to? Share!
