15 iconic photos of 1980s Scottish fashion that show how people dressed back in the day
The 1980s were a decade like no other, marked by big changes, bold trends and unforgettable fashion Anyone who lived through the 1980s will tell you, it was a decade like no other. A time of big changes, bold choices and even bolder fashion, the era left its mark on everything from music and politics to the way we dressed. While it had its fair share of heartbreak, such as the tragedy of the Lockerbie bombing, it was also a golden age for Scottish music, with stars like Wet Wet Wet and Annie Lennox rising to fame and capturing the hearts of a generation. The highs and lows of the era continue to echo through the memories of those who experienced it first-hand. But for younger generations, one of the first things that springs to mind when the 80s are mentioned is the fashion. And rightly so. Whether it was high-waisted jeans, ankle boots, neon legwarmers or wild printed blouses, the fashion of the time was anything but boring. And Scotland, of course, embraced it all. To celebrate the unforgettable looks of the decade, the Daily Record has delved into the archives to uncover some of the most iconic snapshots of Scottish fashion in the 1980s. From everyday street style to big nights out, the photos capture a time when style was expressive, experimental and, quite frankly, fantastic. Here are 15 classic photos that perfectly sum up Scottish fashion in the 80s and will transport you straight back in time.

Inside Annie Lennox's daughter Lola's 'wholesome hen do' as she swaps a traditional boozy party for 'heartfelt stories and affirmations'
Hen parties tend to be raucous affairs but Eurythmics star Annie Lennox 's daughter Lola is bucking the trend. Lola, 34, who is due to marry Canadian musician Braeden Wright, 36, instead held what she described as a 'wholesome' party at The Wolseley in Mayfair. The bride-to-be, who's a singer like her mother, wore a cream sequinned dress and bridal veil in photos that she posted online. 'A wholesome party! We swapped heartfelt and ridiculous stories, and I left on cloud 9 from all of the kinds worlds of affirmation, said Lola, whose father is Annie's ex-husband, Uri Fruchtmann. She signed off her carousel of images with: 'Next stop…the wedding!' Raised in London with her sister, model and artist Tali, Lola splits her time between London and Los Angeles. Lola looked elegant as she posed in front of rose gold 'Bride To Be' balloons in the glittering gown, teamed with chunky white heels. She also shared a group picture with all of the attendees who wore brightly coloured funky sunglasses. The swanky room was decorated with an array of balloons and party favours, including a balloon with a picture of Lola and her husband, as well as masks of Braeden on a stick. Lola announced the pair's engagement as the 'best moment of her life' back in July 2023. Her fiancé took a selfie showing off her sparkler as she said: 'He pulled off the best proposal I could have ever imagined.' In 2023, Lola released her debut EP, titled Dreamer, alongside a single of the same name, accompanied by a sultry photoshoot. The single was executively produced by her Grammy Award winning mom, as well as Braeden. The EP features five songs, all written and performed by Lola. Lola said of her EP in a press statement: 'I called this EP Dreamer because I wouldn't be who I am today without dreaming. Being a dreamer showed me my heart's desire and gave my life vision and purpose.' 'The word perfectly encapsulates every song on the EP because they were created from the seed of a dream, from a wistful moment where I lose track of the literal world and connect to something transcendent.' She went on, 'I am very excited to share this body of work, each song captures a moment in my life, and together they portray a story of me, a broader sense of my experiences and reactions.' 'Making the music on this EP has been some of the best times of my life, it has been so rewarding to see my ideas come to life, to be challenged and to grow, and finally, to share my work with others.' The lead single, Dreamer, follows the release of Lola's previous singles Back At Wrong, La La Love Me, Wherever You Go, Love Like That and Want More. Lola started playing piano at the age of seven, and eventually earned a place at The Royal Academy of Music as a soprano. She's listed a wide range of musical influences, including Nina Simone, Dusty Springfield, Etta James, Florence & The Machine and Lana Del Rey.
