From hair styles to the adventurous clothing, the 1980’s brought with it a unique and completely different fashion style than anything seen before in fashion history. The extravagant neon colors, the intense shoulder pads, the vibrant colored heels, the faded denim, and the excessive use of accessories from bracelets, bangles, belts, earrings, gloves, necklaces, zippers, buckles, rings, and so much more, the 1980’s brought a bold fashion to the world.
In today’s fashion market, designers still bring forward ideas inspired by the fashion of the 1980’s. From the legging resurgence to tulle skirts, the fashion of the 1980’s is always around. One look in particular seems to be resurfacing from the 1980’s: layers.
From hair to clothes to accessories, layers are in. Whether it is winter or summer, layers are present in fashion mostly due to the re-popularization of the crop top.
In winter, women can be seen wearing crop top hoodies with shirts underneath or cut out sweatshirts with a flashy t-shirt lying under the holy piece. Ripped jeans can be styled with brightly colored leggings or even regular shades of leggings under the jeans.
Long necklaces, scarves, and other forms of jewelry can rest on top of the already fashionable outfits inspired by 1980’s fashion trends.
In the summer, girls can sport tank tops covered with crop tops or even just regular shirts to give the same layered affect women wore in the 1980’s era. Jewelry is almost a must with these outfits, to really pull off the essence of the 1980’s.
Plus, the layered look for hair has come back. Of course, the layers and massive hair styles of the 1980’s aren’t as exaggerated today as they were back in the day, but the layered hair is still an option that has toned down from its 1980’s origin.
The layered hair look today is simple and mostly worn by individuals with longer hair. However, if women or even men want more of a rocker or grunge edge to their hairstyle, then a choppy layered look worthy of 1980’s fashion should be a go to for hard core hair needs.
Even if people though 1980’s fashion was embarrassing and over the top, the truth is, the 1980’s never really left the fashion society. Like most era defining fashions, the layered look of the 1980’s is still with us today.
