eighties clothing flashdance fashion
The eighties revival is officially in full swing this summer with jumpsuits, power suits and everything in between. bright neons, batwing sleeves, leggings, coloured tights and ra ra skirts are all making a come back. It has even been rumoured that shoulder pads are making an appearance.

If you don't remember the trends of the eighties first time around, second hand clothing is a great way to grab a bit of these looks. The look includes masculine shapes, wide shoulders, leisure wear and tracksuits, Doc Martins, matching shoes and bags.

Major fashion influences if the eighties were Princess Diana, Dallas and Dynasty, yuppies and Margaret Thatcher. The whole feel of this era was about money and power.

Dance wear was also big news in the eighties with legwarmers Fame and Flashdance being big favourites amongst teenagers.
