How to dress like you're living in the 80s!

Here are a few tips for how you can dress like you're from the 1980s:

  1. Incorporate bold and bright colours into your outfit. The 1980s was known for its vibrant, neon-inspired colour palette. Think pink, blue, yellow, green, purple and so on.

  2. Look for clothing items with exaggerated and bold shoulder pads. These were a popular trend in the 1980s and were worn in suits, blazers, and dresses to give the appearance of broad shoulders.

  3. Incorporate vintage or retro-inspired clothing items into your wardrobe (check out our shell jackets!). These could include vintage T-shirts, band shirts, high-waisted jeans, leather jackets and anything that has an 80s look.

  4. Look for clothing items with bold patterns and graphic designs. In the 1980s, popular prints included stripes, polka dots, and geometric patterns.

  5. Accessorise your look with statement jewellery and accessories, like statement earrings, large sunglasses, and colourful scarfs, these items will help to complete your 80s look.

  6. Consider styling your hair in a big and voluminous way, as big hair was an iconic feature of the 80s. This could be achieved with a perm, or with the use of hair rollers or curling irons.

  7. To complete the look, you could finish with a pair of vintage looking sneakers or high-top shoes, these were a popular trend in the 80s

However, it's important to find the balance between following these tips and making the look your own. The 80s fashion is still very versatile and you can make it fit your own personal taste and style. Have fun with it!
