STATEWIDE — When it comes to reading about fashion on the internet, Michiganders search for styles of the 1980s the most, according to research conducted by the website Boohoo.com.

Boohoo is a fashion retailer in the U.S., specializing in women’s, men’s and plus-size clothing. The research included studies in all 50 states. The second most popular fashion decade to search was the 1990s, with the 1970s as the third most viewed among Michigan residents.

“(The 1980s) is the most searched for decade in 36 out of 50 states, including Michigan, with California, Texas, Pennsylvania and Florida searching for it the most,” according to a Boohoo spokesperson. “As the ’80s is now the most searched for fashion decade, iconic retro clothing has the potential to become increasingly popular in the coming years. With this in mind, will consumers embrace this bold, bright decade in 2023?”
