Michael Jackson Fashion: Which Decade Did He Wear Best? (PHOTOS, POLL)
He's bad, he's bad, and I know it. And the way he makes me feel, it really turns me on, and knocks me off my feet. And when I've been a victim of, a selfish kind of love, I remember the time when he held me like the river Jordan and asked me, 'Annie, are you OK?' Which was weird because my name is Lindsay.
Regardless, I love Michael's music and I love, love, love the outfits. From the 70's fro to the 80's glove to the 90's jackets to the 2000's surgical mask, MJ's looks were always memorable and iconic. My favorite decade was the 90s-- what was yours? Take a look and vote.

I loved the outfits Michael wore to court in 2005. The fitted suits with bright patterned vests, the jackets with the metallic military details, the the tuxedo trousers and shiny , refined neck pieces.
May he rest in peace.
Michael's best look was in the 70s, with his sweet face and big fro, yet I could understand one nose job, but of course we know what happened after that.
I also like the 70s because Michael's music, there and in the 60s, are my favorites. Listen to the tracks of those albums, the singing and harmony is great. "Who's Loving You" and "Got to Be Three" brings tears to my eyes.
I liked him best when he would simplify is clothes. I'll always remember him in black pants and penny loafers, white socks a v-neck t-shirt and a plain white button down shirt. Its like he made a bet with someone that he could wear the plainest most basic clothes and still rock the house. He did indeed.
That Human Nature cover with Mike rocking the white and yellow hung on my bedroom wall till it fell apart. I loved loved loved Michael in the 80's..If he only know how real the girls loved him, he would have never layed another knife to his face..damn joe jackson for scarring my favorite singer, dancer, humanitarian of all time.
I feel the fashion industry like hollywood, and big chunks of the music industry is really only important unto itself and to the most shallow amongst us. Anyone with a life who really cares about all things hollywood might want to figure out a better way to spend their time. The massive industry surrounding the personal lives of the "stars" is downright laughable to anyone as disgusted as I am with the media's force feeding of this crap thru every outlet available and then passing it off as "news" This article is just creepy, discussing a dead mans fashions thru the decades before he is even in the ground? The Michael Jackson feeding frenzy only enforces my disgust with our supposed news organizations, the minions of souless creeps in their vampires quest to exploit famous people's lives and tragedies. As the people of Iran getting killed in the streets trying to free themselves, our soldiers fighting two wars {even though they have been backburnered by the news media for years} have all been shunted aside so we can be all knowing about the death of creepy Michael Jackson the "king of pop" All news networks 24-7 nonstop since friday. Creeeeeepy
And yet you still clicked on the link.
And wrote a long scathing op-ed.
The rag trade and the entertainment industry are multibillion dollar industries affecting everyone on the planet. I watched Jon stewart's faux reporter interviewing Iranians and asking them "Jaywalk" style questions about American politics. It finished up with a young couple who said they enjoyed the Daily Show. The young man finished it off with one of Stewart's impressions of George Bush. So, please, bitch, spare us.
It's unfortunate he couldn't appreciate his own beauty both inside and out.
His father is to blame for that, having totally trashed Michael's self-esteem at an early age..
A slew of Immages are missing! What happend to that BAD iconic outfit used on the BAD album cover and in the tour that year??
I agree... the pic chosen from the 70's is okay, but there were so many pics of him then that were adorable.
70's - 80's. He was so hot. He looked so hot in the video's "Rock with You" and "Don't Stop." Lordy, then the 80's. He looked so good on the cover of the Thriller album. Yummy.
1980's to the 1990's.
As so many of my fellow posters stated, he was drop dead gorgeous and if he'd stopped with the surgeries then, no telling how his life may have turned out.
Many people have posted photographic collages of this beautiful man on Youtube, many I'd never seen before, and it's enough to make you cry.
Couple that with the sheer joy that came through in his performances, and I grieve all over again at the fact Michael Jackson is gone.
combine his face from the 70s with his wardrobe from the 80s and you've got somethin...
or really just his face from the 70s with the rest of his life... it's a shame really..
Best wardrobe: 1990s
Best face: 1970s
I'm glad to see someone saying he did something right in the 1990s. Michael definitely had his moments in the early 90s, even if they didn't amount to Sgt. Pepper-level appreciation albums like Thriller.
He was a total CUTIE PIE in the early 80's...Had he stopped with the surgury after 82 or even 84 I think he would have been able to make a whole bunch more money and albums... the weirder his face got the weaker and sicker he looked...
Oh the 70's without a doubt.! PRE-SURGERY style! ....NO look, No look can compete with that pink wide brim hat ( cocked to the side) and purple suede vest he rocked on the Ed Sullivan Show in the early 70's "I want you back" style.
That natural, wholesome, healthy, bright-eyed kid look was sooooo adorable, so precious, no style can ever compete with that IMHO.
1970's before all the plastic surgery. He would have grown into a handsome man if he had abstained from the nips and tucks that disfigured him. cheryl mikela.
I feel so bad for this talented man who could never accept himself for who he really was. He was a wonderfully handsome young man in the Billy Jean Video. He would have matured into a man to rival the best of the black actors. But, his father beat his own acceptance out of him.
We all have to understand what our words and the pictures in magazines of beauty tell our young. The image of beauty is within....and those who sell the outer package are....without.
Does it matter what you wear if you must grab your crotch every 3 seconds during a song?
I voted for the 80's. Seems he started the grabbing bit in the 90's.
