Archie looked like he did for so long that it transcended 'dating', whereas, a few years on, the 'today' look (late '80s) appears far more dated than the original.

Mid-80s, I'm guessing. Or perhaps 90s if we allow for the lag between pop culture and the comics' incorporating of that pop culture into its stories.
