HOW TO ADD THE BIGGEST 80S TREND TO YOUR WARDROBE

-

Daring doesn’t even begin to describe the big, bad trends of the ’80s. Whether you’re testing the waters or taking the plunge, here’s a guide to bringing back the decade of excess! Neon - Nothing screams 80s like neon clothing. The number one tip on how to rock this trend is to never pair with normal colour tones, as the neon washes them out and it looks mismatched. Can neon be for everybody and everywhere? Well, neon is certainly ageless - if it makes you happy, then do it! And yes, neon is definitely fit for all occasions especially if you want to stand out. Punk - Few subculture­s have had as enduring an impact on fashion as ’80s punk. Recall the pieces that constitute­d a means of expression then - leather biker jackets, studs and spikes, plaid flannel, rock tees and ripped jeans - and you’ll know they’ve somehow worked their way to your wardrobe. How does one incorporat­e punk into today’s everyday wear? Embellishm­ents, accessorie­s, makeup but also iconic elements of punk inspired fashion, such as tartan, black, fishnet socks and ripped clothing.
