The 80s was one of the most body conscious centuries along with the decade that screamed a statement so loud that people today are drawn to in the big 2025. From Bomber jackets to colours that were the definition of retro you cant stop but feel the appeal and want for this fashion.
Big brands
Victoria's secret known for its iconic fashion show has had a bomber jacket based off what seems to be the same silhouette of the 80s century styled one on their website. It was worn
by Missy Elliot who further added to the overall vibe of this section of the show revolving around her older songs. It looked stunning and sold out FAST, the hype for the once old day fashioned jacket had been reborn into a new.
How to put together
The blowouts, The volume contrasts with the neatly styles or straightened hair in our generation. Used in Fashion shows all around the world, blowouts were not only a style but a tool in the world of fashion, each brand keeping their blowout tutorials hidden from their competition. Now in the modern day era we can search keywords and all the tea is spilt with tips and tricks and even tutorials from the brands themselves as the pillars and ideas of fashion change for a new era.
Rules and staples
High waisted bottoms revolving around jeans and shoulder pads on even a leather jacket will always be in those iconic 80s movies, but lets dig deeper, neon colours and bright colours in general include more blue tinted denim jeans and bold coloured leggings. Off shoulder tops or puffy sleeved dresses for prom, add shine that's more metallic to your idea of the iconic bomber jacket. Keep an eye out for Taffeta when thrifting as the material screams 80s at the top of its lungs.
Complete the look
Accessories always have the ability to save or complete an outfit if used correctly. The iconic 80s style revolves around chunky statement jewelry. Large sunglasses always would be used to make the fit look more edgy while wide belts just tied it all in flawlessly.
