In fashion, it's common for old trends to be reinvented.
Why not try to take your coordination to the next level by incorporating the culture of the times into your fashion?
As times change, it's very stylish to incorporate the trends and culture of the time into your outfits.
Those who remember that time will be reminded of the past and some will feel emotional.
In this article, we will introduce some outfits that incorporate 1980s fashion.
If you come across any outfits that you think you can try, be sure to give them a try!
Characteristics of 1980s fashion
The 1980s was a very powerful time, as it was the height of the bubble economy.
As women began to actively enter the workforce, fashions that emphasized femininity, such as bodycon styles, began to emerge.
After the war, the country recovered and went through a period of rapid economic growth, a period of great prosperity and convenience.
Looking from the perspective of 2020, it seems like we were just reaching the halfway point.
Pop culture that is away from politics and gives off a light-hearted vibe rather than complicated matters became popular, and with it came the development of a variety of fashion styles.
New fashion styles are still being developed today, but many of them can actually have their origins in the fashion of the 1980s.
If you like fashion from the 1980s, you'll probably also like the exciting atmosphere of Japan at that time.
Now let's take a look at 1980s fashion one by one!
Crow tribe
The Crow tribe were dressed in all black and wore designer brands known as DC brands.
This is due to the explosive start of Comme des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto (Y's), which continue to this day.
He had a huge influence on the fashion industry, including brands such as Issey Miyake, Takeo Kikuchi, and Comme Ca.
When Y's and Comme des Garcons appeared at Paris Fashion Week, they attracted worldwide attention, with rave reviews such as "The shock from the East" and "The black shock."
All black is cool no matter the era!
The secret to coordinating is the silhouette line
For men, it can look cool to wear a slightly oversized hoodie or sweatshirt with skinny black jeans, or you can go for a more irregular silhouette.
A crisp black shirt tucked into black jeans is also stylish.
Even if it's the same black, it would be interesting to create a difference by changing the gloss.
Don't underestimate black just because it's easy to match with other colors. It's also very deep.
DC is a brand that has a crisp, unique yet elegant image, so I think it's a good idea to pay attention to the fabric material as well as the silhouette when coordinating your outfit.
If you want to create an image of the crow tribe from the 1980s, we recommend the black vertical and horizontal high power stretch skinny jeans from Bobson, a brand with a long history in jeans.
Preppy
The image is "American rich student fashion"
"Preppy" is a word that was originally used by the sons of prestigious private high schools and has since become a fashion term.
You can create a preppy look by combining knits with braids or stripes, tailored or button-down shirts, loafers, sneakers, etc.
Try creating a fun outfit with a college style image.
Although it is called college style, it is not just a fashion for young people.
There are also some cool older men who enjoy hippie fashion.
The style of wearing jeans with a cardigan is very hippie, so be sure to give it a try.
Braided sweaters and chinos are right up there with hippie style, so Bobson's ankle-length chinos are recommended for hippie fashion.
Pantaloons
Pantaloons, also known as bell bottoms, have been a hit since the 1970s.
The photo shows bell-bottoms sold at Bobson's online shop.
It became extremely popular in Japan in the 1970s and was well established, but was still popular in the 1980s.
Bell-bottoms and boot-cuts have a unique silhouette that makes you stand out. If you wear them casually, they will look very stylish.
Pair it with an oversized sweatshirt or hoodie for a trendy look and some fun variety.
Bobson's bell bottoms are deliberately inspired by the revival of old bell bottoms.
Above all, the focus is on the side expression!
Bell bottoms with beautiful side lines. By taking the time to shave the sides, we were able to create a luxurious side look!
Shaving is a technique that uses sandpaper and bleach to create the appearance of wrinkles and worn leather.
By placing a textured urethane mold inside and rubbing it with sandpaper, the white core of the denim thread is exposed, creating a unique look.
Normally, creases in jeans are created mainly on the front and behind the knees, but this requires creating them separately, which increases the number of steps and makes it more time-consuming.
Cheap jeans don't have a continuous shaving on the sides, but Bobson's bell-bottom jeans are made with attention to detail.
Neutra
Neutra is an abbreviation for New Traditional, a style that originated from the fashion magazine an・an, which was launched in 1970.
This style of fashion mainly involves coordinating famous international brands such as Gucci and Fendi, and is said to be the origin of the brand boom that continues to this day.
At the time, the typical combination was a shirt and a knee-length tight skirt.
For a modern twist, pair a striped top with an elegant knee-length skirt for a neutral, slightly casual look.
Hamatora
It is an abbreviation for Yokohama Traditional, and the outfit is said to be the three sacred treasures of Yokohama-based Fukuzo clothing (characterized by its seahorse mark and vibrant colors), Mihama shoes, and Kitamura bags.
The key to this fashion is to create a feminine and neat look.
An elegant knee-length skirt and high heels are essential items for Hamatora fashion.
Pair it with a top that has flared sleeves for an extra touch of elegance.
Bodycon
The fashion is designed to fit the body, clearly showing off a woman's body lines, and it is a style that reflects the times when women were becoming more active.
It started with the body conscious style that was presented at the Milan Collection in 1981.
Even in modern fashion, bodycon fashion is very popular.
People who wear bodycon styles in the city are cool,
This is a fashion that is often seen in places where women are powerful and active.
Some fashionable people adopted the fashion suggested by the fashion magazines Olive and Popeye, such as "Olive girl" and "Popeye boy."
