I’m not rather old sufficient to have lived with 80s fashion the very first time around, so I am pumped beyond WORDS to see a resurgence of whatever 80s this spring. ΕΝΤΑΞΕΙ ΕΝΤΑΞΕΙ. Maybe I don’t desire back eeevery 80s trend. I might most likely do without the feathered bangs, mullets as well as those baggy short sleeve button-downs (usually in bright colors as well as geometric prints) a la Uncle Joey on full House. Definitely not my preferred looks. HOWEVER, there is so much about 80s fashion that I absolutely love—structured longline blazers, cinched waists, tailored whites, large geometric jewelry, as well as pops of strong color—that have dominated the runways as well as street style set, as well as I can’t get enough.
While a number of patterns featured in this series are indeed the innovative offspring of 80s fashion (i.e. vibrant geometric stripes as well as bare shoulders!), I felt that 80s redux deserved its own devoted day of the series since of its extensive influence on style αυτη την εποχη. 80s elements have been creeping onto the bridge for the past few years, however never as strongly or actually as they did for spring ’17. We’re speaking whatever from sportswear-inspired varsity jackets to acid laundry denim to balloon sleeves, mom jeans, concert tees as well as tons more. Today I’m sporting a contemporary handle a few of my favorite 80s-inspired trends, particularly those that will be dominating my work wardrobe for the foreseeable future. I’m speaking crisp, tailored whites, structured longline blazers, statement waistbelts, large geometric fashion jewelry as well as strong pops of color.
When integrating 80s aspects into your wardrobe, the goal is to be 80s-inspired, not necessarily 80s-themed. The difference lies in having a contemporary interpretation of 80s influences, rather than appearing like you’re in a Kelly Kapowski costume for 80s night at your regional dive bar. For example, while I’m not about to go perm (or much better yet, crimp!) my hair anytime soon, a deep side part as well as a bit additional volume in my loose waves seemed to be the perfect compliment to this look. It’s a nod to the 80s hair flip without being as well literal.
WEAR TO WORK

If you’re looking for a killer 80s-inspired pair of white pants, inspect out this pair. I absolutely like the high waist, the pleats, as well as the great ankle detail that alludes to an 80s stirrup. Just ordered ’em!
The lightweight linen blazer I’m using today is going to be particularly remarkable come June when new York becomes a veritable sauna. Since it’s linen, it’s supposed to have that somewhat wrinkled look, however if that bugs you, opt for a white large blazer such as this one.
Similar to a few of the gowns I was highlighting yesterday, this stunning short sleeve white sheath dress nods to 80s motivation with its geometric neckline while still being perfect for a day at the office.
Care to keep it simple? Stock up on my preferred crisp non-iron shirts (I honestly own like 6 of these at least they’re the BEST) as well as wear them with high-waisted wide leg pants as well as a menswear slouch for a perfect 80s-inspired day at the office.

Statement earrings of all kinds are having a significant moment right now, as well as I’m completely losing it over this pair. So 80s, SO GOOD.
Leopard has been back in full force in the last couple seasons, as well as this midsection belt is the perfect 80s-inspired method to flavor up any type of fundamental gown in your closet, or even a blazer like the one I’ve styled today!
You’ve been seeing me using earrings similar to this pair for the past many months, as well as I’m so excited to have discovered a similar set. Mine were a affordable Zara discover as well as unfortunately, the metal started discoloring after only a few wears. I’m consumed with this style though as well as can’t wait to snag this new pair.
On the weekends, pair your preferred large blazers with a smooth mini skirt such as this one. You’ll get additional mileage out of your blazers as well as the combo makes for one of my preferred looks of the season.
