Love them or hate them (or were too young to remember them!), the 80s sure were an interesting decade. Big hair, blue eyeshadow, cropped tops and lace gloves – those who lived it certainly won’t be forgetting the fashion trends in a hurry (and probably have high school yearbook photos that will continue to haunt them!) Well, dear readers, the 80s have been making little appearances in recent years – in sportswear, in leggings(!) and in the silhouette making all the headlines lately – the bold shoulder. And it’s here to stay.
If you’re a little bit scared about what this means – don’t be! – it’s not the hypercolour-filled, crimping-crazy fashion of old. In it’s place is a more subtle trend that is merely 80s-inspired: think bold shoulders, colourful combinations, glitter, peplum skirts, shiny leggings and nipped-in waists (oversized decorative belts are key).
