Okay, so, I got this wild idea to do a deep dive into 80’s New York fashion. I mean, who doesn’t love a good throwback, right? I started by looking into what was hot back then.
First, I scoured the internet, looking at photos and articles. I stumbled upon some articles and Pinterest boards all about 80’s fashion in New York. The big thing was how music influenced what people wore. Stuff like MTV was huge, showing off all these different styles, from rock to pop to rap.
Then, I watched a bunch of old TV shows, like ‘Dynasty.’ That show was a big deal for fashion. I noticed everyone was rocking shoulder pads. Seriously, they were in everything! It was all about looking bold and powerful. And colors? Forget subtle – it was all about those bright, in-your-face neons.
So, I decided to give it a shot myself. I dug through my closet and found some old clothes that kinda fit the vibe. I had this bright pink top, paired it with some electric blue leggings I got from a thrift store.
- Step 1: Find those bold colors. I mean, really go for it.
- Step 2: Get some shoulder pads in there. You can buy them separately or find clothes that already have them.
- Step 3: Mix and match. The 80s were all about experimenting.
I put together a few outfits, trying different combinations. It was a blast! I felt like I was in one of those old music videos. It’s amazing how clothes can totally change your vibe. I took some pictures, just for fun.
Final Touches
To really nail the look, I played around with some big, teased hair and some bright makeup. It was a whole process, but totally worth it. I even tried to mimic some of the poses I saw in the old photos. It was like stepping back in time.
Honestly, it was such a fun experiment. I learned a lot about 80’s fashion and how it was all about making a statement. If you’re looking for a fun weekend project, I definitely recommend giving this a try. Just go wild and have fun with it!
