28 Mar Spring Trend 2018: The 80’s are Back!

For the past few years, the trends for every season have given us a flash of the past from the 60s, 70s, and 90s. And finally, this year for the spring collection, the 1980s will be the biggest fashion trend. Some might say the era of the 80’s was the best time for fashion.

This was the season when the original Supermodels broke the internet, stonewashed denim and pouf hemlines existed. It was a time filled with legwarmers, high-cut spandex, sequins galore, and lots and lots of neon.

You’ve probably noticed there’s been a pretty heavy resurrection of ’80s fashion trends both on the runway and the street lately. Take a trip back in time this spring with bright colors, light-wash jeans, fanny packs, pantsuits, and more.

Isabel Marant Spring 2018

PUFFY SHOULDERS: That’s right, big shoulders are back. Simple, neutral blouses with either huge shoulders or puffy sleeves were seen on the runways of designers like Isabel Marant. These statement pieces can be paired with a pencil skirt (another comeback) or jeans. I am here for it as this is a way women show thier power and authority – with some good shoulders!

PANTSUITS: Perhaps brought about by politician Hillary Clinton, pantsuits are the biggest trend this spring.

Matching trouser sets were seen on the runways of major brands like Gucci and Dior. While the Gucci versions are often bright and patterned, the Dior looks are more understated and sophisticated.

80’s has a risky look, but if you know how to interpret the style, it’s totally possible to pull it off without looking like you’re going to a costume party.

No go forth into the world and time travel back to the 80’s! Don’t blind your self with glitter now! and don’t try those ridiculous 80’s hairstyles either!
