Bring on the Jams. Round up your Ocean Pacific surf wear… Summer is on the way, and retailers are celebrating with ’80s-style tropical fashion! Take the Urban Outfitters pieces above. The Volcom Los Palmas Tank Top (above, left) is lightweight cotton with ringer trim. The Volcom Fa-Da-Mental Trunk (above, right) has a drawstring waist and a name much more complicated than its Jams predecessors. Don’t think we’ve forgotten about the ladies…

    I don't really care what decade you say they're from. Throw in some nice ara boots, and I'd still look good in them at any beach.
