Your 80's check list!
- Acid wash jeans (bonus points for a tapered leg with ankle zipper)
- Shoulder pads
- Poodle perms
- Shell suits (if you were in the UK)
- Neon spiral laces
- Flintstone jeans
- Ugly prom dresses
- Smiley face shirts (“they called it aceeeed!”)
- Body suits (or just “bodies”, as they became known. “Tonight I think I’ll wear a body with my Flintstones jeans.”)
- High top sneakers, the chunkier the better, worn with the tongue pointing at the sky
- Snoods
- Leggings – preferably with a loud print, and worn with an over sized sweater or t-shirt
- Leg warmers
- Pointy-toed stilettos, ideally in neon colours, or bright white. Wear with ankle socks for added impact
- “Frankie Says RELAX” t-shirts
- Mohair sweaters, ideally falling off one shoulder
- Scrunchies
- Jelly shoes (and we’re not talking Vivienne Westwood for Melissa here…)
Printed T-shirts, high waisted hot pants, shoulder pads, masculine blazers, colored in pastels or neon colors look fabulous and if they suit your style will help complete your wardrobe. Retro fashion has always inspired people and it seems that this year the muses were highly inspirational as the designs turned out fabulous. This fashion style seems to be a popular celebrity style as Madonna, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha are only a few celebrities that look fabulous and inspirational with their retro outfits!
80's make up is also really in but make sure you look trendy not dated! That would be the NO.1 style rule this season!
Fashion was at it's finest during the 80s as people took self-expression to new heights. It was socially accepted to dress as an individual following the beat of your own drum. Observing the population's unique styles created a combination of overtly loud, thrilling and cool outfit choices!
