Eighties fashion was pretty daring, and it's back.
Big sunglasses, bigger shoulder pads, skinny leggings, bold colours and heels to die for. It’s unanimous: the eighties are back. With a vengeance. If you’re already thinking about your spring wardrobe, then you’ll want to consider including a few retro-eighties pieces. Which ones are best? Don’t worry, Polaroid sunglasses has already done some of the legwork for you.
Tip 1. Start with a blazer. Go ahead and get one in a bright colour and don’t even think of taking out the shoulder pads. This one from Asos is just about perfect. Coral is a wonderful colour – and will work with black right now or with white when the summer finally arrives.
Tip 2. Get some clogs in your life. Big footwear is definitely cutting a path down the runway. Put those ballet flats at the back of your wardrobe and try on some high strappy clogs – like this pair from Topshop. They’ll give those shoulder pads the balance they need – and make your legs look longer.
Tip 3.Think bodycon dress. It’s not for the shy or the retiring, but done well this is one dress that has the power to amaze. If you don’t have the confidence to wear this one from New Look on its own, then put it over a pair of leggings. Just be careful when you’re dancing – putting your hands over your head might be just a little riskier than usual.
And Polaroid has some big bold sunglasses that also have that eighties vibe. Check out our top women’s styles. Firenze gets my vote.
