Break Time Research

I had a bit of time to study in my break time, and I found some excellent article. 

"...1980s Fashion Moments We Never Want to Forget."

The decade before hadn't affected our wardrobes for a long time, we've come to realise in recent years that all the new trends today are '80s courtesy. If you're not too familiar with the trends of this age, there are a few highlights we're sure you'll realise: broad arms, white denim, outerwear, underwear and oversized jewellery. The power dresser's decade, but also punks. It brought us Madonna, Tina Turner and Cher, plus numerous other superstars whose sense of style now inspires others.

Princess Diana's archive encourages some of the world's most successful designers to resurge in women wearing blazers with jeans again.

Madonna and her Bodysuits

This is classic '80s Madonna, but for now, the underwear/bodysuit look is banging on the mark. 

You don't need pearls, just high waist jeans for a night out.

For me, it's a perfect combination even with pearls.

Structured Shoulders, Styled By Courteny Cox

The shoulder pads are a real trend towards this look. Courteney Cox wearing this on pre-Monica Gellar red carpet days.

Corset Belts Were a Cyndi Lauper Essential

Kim Kardashian West was a big factor in why it got famous again, we can't deny that Cyndi Lauper might have started the trend.

Chunky Jewellery Was Joan Collins' Armoury

Joan Collins is amazing. The suit, the plain blacktop, the red lips... But, our magpie eyes concentrate on the gobstopper necklace. Joan knows the strength of beautiful jewellery bringing an outfit together.

Showing Off Your Socks Was a Meg Ryan-Approved Move

Miniskirts Were Loved By Kylie

As Kylie Minogue was going through her bad-girl period, she was wearing a lot of high-gloss mini-dresses like this.

High-Waisted Jeans Were Worn By All Models, Singers and Actresses

High-waisted jeans, bauble earrings and a white vest are great accessories. Tina Turner just looks great!
