- The ’80s and ’90s were a colorful time — and neon had a major moment.
- Whether it was clothing or accessories such as jewelry and hairpieces, the brighter, the better.
- Today, bright colors are back following a pretty long neutral era. If you’re looking to incorporate bright colors into your wardrobe, start with something subtle, like a pair of shoes or a small purse.
- As you get more comfortable, include larger items like a bigger bag or an entire ensemble of neons.
- You don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style with this fashion trend, as the puffer jacket will keep you warm and cozy for hours. Choose a style that’s long and appears at your calves or ankles or select a cropped style.
- Oversized puffer vests are also in so pick the style that most suits you and zip it all the way up, keep it unzipped or hang it off the shoulder.
- Clothing stores sell a variety of bodysuit types including sleeveless, strapless, long-sleeved, puffy-sleeved and more.
- Shoulder pads are back and seriously bigger than ever. Include them in any top that includes shoulders and add an extra element to your causal look.
- Some shops sell shoulder pad inserts that you can include or remove from your tops. Adding a shoulder pad insert to a shirt that’s a little boring will immediately incorporate a chic detail to your outfit.
- Princess Diana made the biker short a popular clothing item in the ’90s when she wore them with high socks, white kicks and oversized crew necks overtop.
- Fanny packs in the ‘80s and ’90s were worn around the waist and clipped from behind. While fanny packs are still worn this way today, they are most often worn across the body
- Wide leg pants aren’t just popular for adults, though. Babies and kids are wearing the pants, too.
