Reinventing The 80’s

Fall Women’s Wear Is All About Embodying the Style of the Awesome 80’s

When it comes to 2009 Fall Women’s Wear one thing is clear, there’s no escaping 80’s fashion. Beyond the animal prints and striped fashions featured in our 2009 Fall Trend Shopping Guide , fall trends this year are all about harkening back to the flamboyant styles of the awesome 80’s--when fashion mavens lit up their styles with neon colors, punk looks, big jewelry, and a hint of masculinity with military inspired attire. Everything old is new again – or so it seems as designers find themselves reinventing 80’s fashion.

Reinventing 80’s Fashion - Rose-Colored Glasses

Hoping for an economic recovery this fall? Wear something hot pink, long associated with optimism and a positive outlook. Since the rosy hue is flattering on all skin tones, it’ll warm up any complexion. Pair with chunky, flashy accessories for a classic 80’s look that’s retro-chic and cool.

Reinventing 80’s Fashion - Standing at Attention

The structured look is back, partly as homage to the late pop star Michael Jackson, known for sporting the look in the 80’s and beyond. These updated jackets are perfect for a night on the town, or a weekend out and about, and the details – like double breasted silhouettes, flap pockets, and mandarin collars – are still cut to achieve a feminine look.

Reinventing 80’s Fashion - Rocker Chick

Rocker Chick is all about attitude and style. Acid wash denim, biker jackets, and form-fitting silhouettes all make a comeback for this tough meets pretty 80’s inspired trend. Masculine hues in black and grey dominate this reinvented look, but can be kept feminine by combining styles with floral motifs and shades of winter whites, rich pinks, and soft baby blues.
