Fashion Of The 80s

Retro is all the rage these days. One era that's making a comeback? The 80s! Take a walk down memory lane and check out our choices for the hottest fashion of the 80s that you can wear today:

Jelly Bracelets

You'll see jelly bracelets adorning the arms of fashionistas everywhere. Take a cue from the 80s and pile them on both arms, in all colors. Or, go punk with all black. Clear is yet another cute jelly bracelet color that goes with every outfit. Another addition to the jelly family that works well with your bracelets? Jelly shoes, of course!

Leggings

Leggings look great when paired with a long tunic top in a bright color or print. Basic black is always good, paired with black boots. When working the legging look, always choose a top that covers your backside but hangs no longer that mid-thigh. A big belt is a perfect addition to this look, which brings us to our next 80s inspired trend.

Leg Warmers

For the die-hard 80's lover, there are leg warmers. Wear these questionable leg decorations over your leggings for the most authentic 80's look found anywhere. Try pairing these with a cut-up sweatshirt over a tight tank for a Flashdance inspired ensemble that will turn heads!

Big Belts

Big belts are hot when paired with tight jeans or leggings and tunics. Another trend – using more than one belt to create a punk-inspired retro impact. Belt buckles are also a fun way to draw attention to your waistline and show off your eighties style!

Big Prints

The 80s were all about bright, in your face looks. Prints are definitely an important part of any vintage 80s look. Try a big floral print, bright polka dots, or a color blocked geometric print for an attention getting ensemble. Skirts, sundresses and tops are the perfect way to showcase your favorite bold prints.

Black and White

The geometric allure of black and white was hot in the eighties. Try polka dots, or even better, black and white stripes. Pair a black and white striped tunic over black leggings and finish off with the biggest pair of black or white earrings that you can get your hands on for a great vintage 80s look!
