Fashion of 80's

The 80s style clothing trends split into numerous diverse sub-niches: Valley girl, New Romantic, Preppy, Power dressing, Punk, and Casual wear to name a few. The 80s style clothing for men brought change to the cut of the business suit and return to the pinstripes of the earlier decades, although in a much wider version.

As for the bright palette of the 80s, one look at Christian Lacroix’s kaleidoscopic bodysuit can cure even die-hard color-avert connoisseurs of style. The exuberant, luscious colors of the 1980s are back to being in fashion, as seen from the 2012 collections of Prabal Gurung, Erdem Moralioglu, and Mary Katranzou.

Brands that retain the best of 80s style clothing vibe include Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Benetton, Girbaud, Jordache, Sergio Valenti, American Apparel, Brooks Brothers, and Gap.
