Are you in for a flashback? Well, seems like it’s definitely time to embrace the colourful decade of big shoulders, acid-washed jeans, polka dots, oversized jackets, metal mesh and lots of neon, neon, neon (my fave!)

I might have been born in the mid-eighties, but I truly love everything the eighties era had to offer, right from the movies (dirty dancing, flashback, sixteen candles) to the funky fashion. The styles just makes you want to let loose, have fun, and personally makes me want to go dancing! Simply throw on some nostalgic pieces mix n match and you’ll be all bright, smiley and happy happy!

Dare to walk on the wild side? We show you our top picks of the eighties.

Acid wash

Teaming up acid wash bottoms with big shoulders would make you come across as little OTT. Instead, pick out a bright coloured plain top – a tube or spaghetti strap top is a great option for an effortless yet stylish look. You could also go for acid wash dresses for a more updated style.

Shoulder Pads

Personally, I would never be caught dead in big shoulders! But when I came across these two dresses, I thought “hey, these look pretty darn good”. With dresses like these, you get to wear the latest trend without looking totally weird. Infact, the black dress is one that you can even wear to work. If you think it’s too short, always remember you can pair up the black dress with black stockings.

Oversized

Jackets, tops and off the shoulder tops –there are various updated versions of these available! If they are a few sizes too big, cinch it at your waist or you could even opt to wear it loose. It’s best to pair oversized tops up with skinny bottoms to balance out your overall look.

Neon

Work some colours in your outfits for some stand out style– IF you intend to attraction attention. However, if you don’t want to come across as flamboyant, all you need to do is match a neon piece together with a safe, dark coloured garment. If you are one who is colour shy, start off in small doses with bright accessories like a pair of hot pink shoes or neon jewellery.
