You might not have existed in the 80s, but if you’re a fashion girlie, you know it was iconic! The fashion scene in India back in the 80s was all about vibrant colours, statement sleeves, and maximal prints. Fast forward to today; 80s style is still relevant and serves as inspiration for all those glam, chic, and effortless fashion days. May it be neon outfits, the revival of tie-up tops or polka dots making a comeback, 80s fashion is here to stay and slay. So, add a little vintage fashion by taking inspiration from these B-town looks.

1. Padded shoulders

Padded shoulder outfits are all the rage again. They were quite popular in the 80s and are back in the fashion game. Padded shoulders add drama and make you look effortlessly chic by bringing all the attention to your upper body. Along with that, slouched and oversized shoulder designs are the new trends in power dressing. Take notes from Ananya’s outfit, which is both relaxed and commanding attention.

2. Tie-up tops

You might think tie-up tops are a Gen Z fashion trend, but they were quite popular back in the 80s in India. Tie-up tops exaggerate the curves and provide a fun element to the outfit. These tops are pretty versatile, so you can pair them with the bottoms of your choice. Just make sure your top and bottom look balanced for that effortlessly fashionable look.

3. Bell or puff sleeves

If you love a good basic outfit that instantly makes you the centre of attention, puff sleeves are going to be your fashion favourites. They have dominated 80s fashion in India and are becoming a fashion statement again. Puffy sleeves can turn any outfit into a statement piece with a touch of femininity and are so comfortable to wear.

4. High-waisted jeans

Low-waisted jeans might have been a statement back in the day, but nothing comes close to high-waisted jeans. From styling it for a casual lunch to taking it up a notch for a chic dinner outfit, high-waisted jeans are a must-have in your wardrobe. And where would all our belly pouches and muffin tops go if it weren’t for this gorgeous piece of clothing?

5. Sequins

Sequins have ruled the 80s fashion in India and made a screaming comeback in recent years, all thanks to those stunning MM sarees. From muted tones and pastel shades to deeper colour palettes, sequins are one of those styles that have evolved over the years. So, if you want instant glam, sequins are the way to go.

6. Bandanas

Bandanas were originally created as practical use items like dust masks and headbands to protect against the sun and harsh winds. But later they turned into a fashion accessory. Bandanas are perfect for those oily-hair days when you don’t have the time to wash them. Plus, they add a cool quotient to your outfit and are really easy to style.
