The 80s Fashion Myth

The 80s Fashion Myth

This year, Fall/Winter fashion is returning to the 80s, so neon colours, maxi shoulder pads and, of course, sequins in plenty! I don't get along very well with this revival, 'cause I've never loved the period's trend. So how can I integrate a bit of fashion into my daily life while remaining coherent with my style? Today I'll explain to you how I did it! :D

80's

You know, the eighties are the years of excess, extra colours, extra sparkle, extra in everything! Shortly, that isn't me at all. I love the dainty style, both in terms of shades and shapes. When fashion pulled the latest trends out of the time machine, I was flabbergasted: I felt immediately cut off! I thought, therefore, how to integrate into my being some little details inspired by the 80s; in the end, the answer is simple: stay in the middle. Sure if you like this style and you're comfortable with a full paillettes dress or an animal printed one, it's perfect! But if you're like me, you'll have some trials.

1.DRAW ATTENTION TO A SINGLE DETAIL

If you wear a maxi shoulder pads top, go basic with the rest of the outfit; on the contrary, pair shining trousers with a simple-shaped blouse, e.g.. So, try to build your own look according to your body without giving too much prominence to the upper part over the bottom one, and vice-versa.
2.DON'T MIX TOO MANY COLOURS

Do you really like those animal printed boots or that shocking pink bag? Then wear them! But not together. If you don't wanna be too flashy, keep a minimal style with the rest of the look, maybe monochromatic, in order to make only your super fashion boots stand out :)

>>> Since many of you asked me for an article about body shapes and how to enhance them, I'm working on 5 different posts. This will be a miniseries which I'll publish once a week :) The first one will be released very soon, so stay connected ;)
3.BALANCE YOUR STYLE

Add a single flashy item to a street/sporty style. In this way, it will never be too much! Be careful, however, about the way you combine everything: if you wanna pair an over preppy top with sports trousers, they may not be suitable for each other. Be sure to make your outfit always pleasant.

4.DON'T OVERDO IT

The general rule to always feel at ease is not to overdo! Don't wear a full neon outfit for work, or really high pumps under a short cheetah printed dress: you may result too aggressive.
5.BE ALWAYS YOURSELF!

If you like the 80s fashion, you're the Cindy Lauper #1 fan or you just wanna dress as in those years, what's the problem? Wear what you love to wear and don't bother about what people would say! The style is personal and the way you look is your being, don't forget it. Style contains in itself what you want to communicate with your image. Just try to adapt to the environment you're in, for example workplace, where you usually must be more formal.

On the contrary, if you totally hate this kind of trends, whatever! You don't have to own a "must-have" to be someone! A self-confident person is the coolest in the world, whatever clothes he wears ;)
