One of the most exciting aspects of ’80s style was the fashion! While the style world was quick to dismiss ’80s fads in the years immediately following the decade, trends that many thought would never see the light of day slowly but surely reappeared. Rompers, stretch belts, and tribal patterns are just a few of the many ’80s re-dos that have graced clothing racks and the pages of magazines in recent years. Mirror80 enjoys spotlighting the style of our favorite decade. Here are five fashion-fabulous posts from the past year:

For our last official “summer post” this season, Mirror80 celebrates the yacht rock phenomenon. Sailing into our lives in 2005, the term “yacht rock” coincided with the broadcast of an online video series of the same name. Yacht Rock featured humorous, fictionalized accounts of the overlapping songwriting adventures of music legends like Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins and Toto. The term caught on, as it perfectly characterized the smooth music emerging from Southern California during the late ’70s and early ’80s.

In our last post, we celebrated the Memphis-Milano influence on Christian Diors Fall-Winter Haute Couture Collection. From candy colors to edgy geometry, the ’80s motifs were abundant on the catwalk. But if you thought the ’80s fun ended there, think again!
