I was reading an article on Linkedin about items from the '80s that are making a comeback. I wanted to throw in a few favorites that I remember as well. Let's take a fun trip down memory lane and talk about some of the most memorable '80s items that deserve a comeback.

LOOK: FLASHBACK TO THE 80S WITH THESE 5 TOTALLY TUBULAR ITEMS

Cassette Tapes

There was something special about popping a cassette into a boombox or Walkman. Rewinding and fast-forwarding to find your favorite track made listening to music a more hands-on experience. Plus, making mixtapes for friends was something I always enjoyed.

Arcades

Yes, we have video games that are life-like now, but the atmosphere of the arcade with its rows of games and the sound of quarters clinking is something we're missing today. It was a place to hang out, show off skills, and make friends.

Roller Skates

Before skateboards and inline skates, there were the classic four-wheel roller skates. They weren't just a mode of transportation; they were a way to glide through life with style. I spent many Saturday afternoons at the roller rink and loved every minute of it.

Fanny Packs

Laugh all you want, but fanny packs were the ultimate convenience accessory. Hands-free, secure, and worn around the waist, they're due for a comeback. They're great for carrying your essentials.

Neon Colors

The '80s didn't shy away from colors, and the brighter, the better. Neon fashion was bold, expressive, and fun.

The '80s had a certain flair that's hard to duplicate but awesome to remember. I know we've made leaps and bounds in technology and fashion, but there's something about the simplicity of the '80s that keeps me wanting more. Maybe it's time to dust off those cassette tapes, strap on some roller skates, and bring a bit of the '80s back into our lives.
