fashion n trends

More and more we're noticing trends and designs coming from the nineteen eighties re-emerging as on trend and 'fashionable' looks. Most of us have tampered with an eighties style or two, whether it be leg-warmers, shoulder pads or even a wild animal print, but looks that came from this decade are taking over the world of fashion and even our wardrobes.

The most in-demand look presently which shot to popularity as a major trend late seventies and came into its own during the early eighties is tailoring and mens clothing worn by women. Both androgynous and mod designs are cool, trendy and can also be surprisingly sexy. As we embark on the next 'season' of fashion be prepared many more A/W styles to feature plaid, checks, oversized mens jackets, brogues and even berets and flat caps.

Wearing vintage could not make this look easier or more unique so now is the time to invest in a vintage tweed jacket, some loose fitting vintage shirts and a good pair of brogues or 'Chelsea boots'.

Don't be concerned about this look appearing too dull or even masculine since you can easily glam up with some jewelry and soft feminine make-up and mix and match oversized or mens jackets & shirts with a pair of skinny denim jeans and heels or tiny shorts and stockings and suspenders! Have fun with this great style and contrast ties and flat caps with diamond stud earrings and a stunning clutch purse.

To truly embrace this fabulous style look out for classic pieces such as an Yves Saint Laurent 'Smoking Tuxedo' or Ralph Lauren edged blazer however there are plenty of cheaper alternatives out there. Don't be afraid to raid your boyfriends (or better still Grandad's!) wardrobe and mix and match ladies and gents items. Start by investing in one or two vintage tailored pieces, the quality will be so much better than many high street alternatives, and play about with different looks until you find your own unique 'dapper' style.
