Fashion trend of the 80s

Whether we want to admit it or not, power suits, acid-wash jeans and polka-dot dresses are making a comeback. Once dubbed eye candy by the fashion world, these loud, bright and eclectic ’80s styles have returned, sparking a revival of fads inspired by the looks of nostalgic classics The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink.

The burning question is how to rock this trend if you are averse to 80’s fashion but still want to be a part of this latest trend? Scroll below to check out these 80’s inspired pieces that will suit any chic woman today. And no, you don’t need to revive the perm — that hairstyle is long gone — and with good reason.

Take a page from me, or rather your parents’ library, of prom photos — you don’t need neon prints to pay homage to ’80s fashion. Dump the purple lipstick and blue eyeshadow and opt for the looks below instead.

An oversized blazer

The Drop Oversized Blake Blazer

This tasteful and affordable oversized blazer, found on Amazon, can be paired with trousers or flared jeans for a business casual look. Available in a wide range of colors including black, coffee bean, ivory and pink, the endless number of outfit options possible with this blazer will expand your wardrobe with just one simple piece.

High rise denim

SHEIN wide leg jeans with asymmetric waist

These asymmetric wide leg jeans from SHEIN offer a relaxed fit, an ’80s-inspired acid wash and are perfect for creating the illusion of longer legs.

hair ties

Nothing beats a high pony. Make a subtle statement with these tie-dye velvet hair scrunchies. Discard any stubborn hair ties that plead guilty to causing hair breakage. These undamaged hair ties are super stretchy (you can even wear them on your wrist!) and will add a touch of flair to any look.

power suits

An ’80s-inspired suit for an event or after-work meeting is a versatile, retro choice. Put a pop of color in this statement single breasted blazer with solid pocket front from SHEIN. Matching trousers to complete the look can be found here.
