Big shoulders and even bigger hair were hallmarks of the 80s, but you don’t have to tease your hair to get the look. Learn how to incorporate the best trends of the decade-gone-by into your modern wardrobe.
Just when you thought this outspoken fashion era had died for good, the sass of the 80s just keeps showing up in the latest runway shows, and surprisingly, looking better than ever. Take advantage of the refreshing rebirth of this decade and add a little fun to your look.
Leggings: An 80s fave, these gems used to be worn under brightly-coloured, oversized batwing-sleeved sweaters. Today, leggings are actually a great, and very versatile wardrobe staple. Comfortable and easy to wear, this time around swap them for your fall tights and instantly update the look of your skirts and dresses.
Neon: Bold, blinding brights have been a key focus on the runways recently and a trend not easily missed. Instead of going all out like in the 80s with head-to-toe colour, go for a modern take on this trend by incorporating this hot look into your accessories, adding a splash of neon in your handbag, belt or shoes.
Metallics: Sequins and gold were all the rage during this decadent decade and top designers can’t help but bring back this festive, luxurious look. To wear the look without over-doing it, go for metallics in more neutral tones like pewter, dark bronze and black in styles that are clean-lined and modern. Balance out the look by pairing your metallic items with matte fabrics and simple accessories.
However you decide to work the 80s trend, keep in mind that some trends, like poodle perms and fishnets, are better left in the past.
