80s style

2017 saw a major comeback of 80s and 90s style clothing and accessories.  Trends like color block shirts and sweaters, denim and plaid skirts, fishnets, band t-shirts, round glasses, scrunchies, “mom jeans” and platform shoes resurfaced this past year, bringing a vintage touch to the modern era.  Throwback style is one of the trends that is actually trendy and will look great carrying over into 2018!

Shirts:  Color blocked bathing suits, sweaters, shirts, and jackets have been seen almost everywhere this year, allowing for a vibrant and colorful 2017.  Sweaters and jackets like these two were prominent trends this year, and will absolutely carry into 2018!

Glasses:  Circle-shaped and oversized glasses have been on the rise this year, as well as clear glasses, bringing us back to times of PacMan and Bon Jovi.  Clear and round glasses go with any style and outfit, and look great on every face shape- both men and women! This is a trend that I would love to see in 2018.  

‘Mom’ and ‘dad’ jeans:  ‘Mom’ and ‘dad’ jeans are baggy, high waisted, usually light washed, and they match with any shirt and shoe combination.  These jeans are comfy and trendy, allowing anyone to style them up for a party, or down for a casual lazy day.  

Shoes:  This summer saw a rise in Birkenstocks, a 70’s trend, but also a rise of platform sandals, especially solid white or black ones.  2017 was also encompassed with ‘vintage’-style sneakers, following the colorblock trend.   

Accessories:  Many 80’s and 90’s style accessories made a comeback this year, but among the most notable were fanny packs, scrunchies, and fishnet tights.  All of these show a modern twist to the throwback classics, especially the velvet scrunchies, since velvet was also a trend this year.  Fishnets were worn in every way possible this year, from with low rise jeans and a cropped top, skirts, and even whole fishnet bodysuits.
