Modern 80s look

Let me introduce it to you… my modern 80s look!

As you know, the 80s had quite extravagant fashion. My main task for this outfit was to create a modern 80s look, that would be wearable nowadays. With some typical 80s elements, but not over the top.

Knowing the fashion of that time – well, that was not an easy task. The main element of the outfit is this hairy huge cardigan. As I bought it, I’ve already pictured myself wearing it to an Aerosmith concert or something like that. That would be perfect and I’m sure, Steven Tyler would be fond of it 🙂

As other 80s details, I’ve added the overknee boots with buttons, which would totally be a choice of a girl at that time. And a baker boy hat – in the 80s it did a big come-back as a fashion trend, coming straight from the 60s.

To make the whole outfit not that kind of total 80s, I added some color-neutral clothes, like a black shirt and grey jeans.

The last detail – the mini-purse- only had one function – to add a drop of elegance to the look. To avoid “lady looks like a dude”, if you know what I mean 😉

Let me know what you think about my modern 80s look!
