80's Fashion Trends Are Making A Comeback

-


1980s are known as one of the most questionable decades in fashion history. From shoulder pads and oversized blazers to ruffles and the doorknocker earrings, it seems like everything was big in the 80s.

Don’t even get us started on the beauty trends of the 80s. Even though some of the looks should never resurface, many fashion trends are actually back in style today. Whether you’re surprised, excited, or horrified, 80s fashion has made its way to the 21st century. 

 Many '80s trends have resurfaced in recent seasons, both on and off the runway. Marc Jacobs inflated shoulders, Gucci brought back glitter and Tom Ford and JW Anderson added feathers to their ensembles. Celine, Louis Vuitton and Max Mara are a few of the 
many brands that have reimagined the power suit. And neon, it seems, is just as popular as ever.

Love them or loathe them, these trends are a clear sign that we're still obsessed with the '80s.

The entertainment world reflected these upwardly-mobile nouveaux riches in movies like Oliver Stone's "Wall Street" and "Bright Lights, Big City," a 1988 drama based on the novel by Jay McInerney.

Fashion gave them a wardrobe by way of oversized blazers with shiny buttons, pinstripe two-pieces and sweaters draped over the shoulders, preferably from Ralph Lauren.

It's the sheer diversity of status symbols, sartorial choices and style icons that has made the '80s a time we still recall, mostly, with fondness. The playfulness and "more is more" glamour were simply too fun to forget.
