80s-inspired style
Introduction
The fashion industry has been digging deep into past trends, and for spring/summer 2023, it’s all about the revival of 80s style. The decade was all about bold geometric prints, oversized boxy blazers, and gold accessories. It’s time to make a statement with figure-hugging tube dresses, voluminous puff sleeves, and dancewear-inspired leggings. Here, we’ll look closer at the catwalk influences and real-world ways to wear them.
80s Style for SS23
Power Shoulders
The 80s corporate silhouette is making a comeback, and Balenciaga’s Resort show is to thank. It inspired a workwear revolution with high-shine double-breasted blazers that were also seen on the Khaite runway during New York Fashion Week. Shoulder pads made a comeback at Luar, while Carolina Herrera and Proenza Schouler featured power-shoulder silhouettes. However, YSL SS23 wins the prize for the most prominent shoulder pads on the runway, widening the runway for its dramatic shoulder pads.
Rosettes
An 80s-style rosette worn as an accessory is the perfect way to show off the retro side of fashion. They were pinned to the shoulder or hip of asymmetrical gowns in hot pink and lilac at Prabal Gurung.
Golden Hour
Tom Ford always brings glamour to the runway, and this time, it’s all about the volume in the hair and a nod to 80s style with lamé hot pants.
Club Kids
Raf Simmons is a fan of the 80s, and at his SS23 show, hosted at the legendary Printworks club, neon hues were reminiscent of four decades ago. Think bright pink or yellow leggings, bodysuits, and baggy tank tops. It’s the perfect lounge-wear look that’s too cool to care, on acid.
How to Wear It
It’s time to tap into the trend; the easiest way is with a boxy double-breasted blazer. Choose one in latex or a bold, bright hue if you dare, and you’ll have the perfect workwear wardrobe update. For a cooler take on the trend, update your off-duty look with a bright legging or two, and team them with an oversized sweatshirt, your favorite bringing handbag, and a pair of gold hoops. Crimped hair is optional!
It’s all about making a statement with the 80s style, and with so many influences from the catwalk, it’s easy to find something that suits your style. Whether you want to embrace the power shoulder, add a rosette accessory, or shine with lamé hot pants, there’s something for everyone.
