So, I know why they are doing it, but the clothes on The Americans bug me. I remember the 80s! (for example)
Also, Margo Martindale!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think they're pretty good since it's 1980 and the very beginnng of the era--I counter your example with this: [link]

Yeah, the eighties don't really become "The Eighties" until about '84. Before that you had the Preppy Handbook.

Square Pegs was 82-83. But anyway, I will be keeping an eye on the hair and the pants if it gets more seasons, Because [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, it was clearly good I spent those years outside the US...

I just did a cursory glance at pictures from the show, and what is amusing to me is that they STRAIGHTEN Keri Russell's hair! But I am not sure I remember 1980 too clearly, because I was 7, and I can't think of anything that happened that year except for John Lennon being shot!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's mid-1981, since Reagan was just shot.
[Not that there was a huge leap forward in fashion from 1980-81, I'm just being nitpicky. I've been supplying a lot of the news footage for the show so I'm always minorly spoiled for the real-world events taking place in the background.]

Oh yes. I started my time at my university in '81, and I had never seen so many alligator shirts gathered together in one location in my entire life. And I remember the entire campus smelled like Calvin Klein's Obsession once it came out for men as well as women.

And Drakkar? Or was that more 1985? I remember all the boys had Drakkar in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Drakkar Noir was still going strong in 1991. Man that stuff stunk, but no where near as badly as the Axe Body Spray!
