The 80s called, it wants its blazers back
The 80s is a trend that’s been making a comeback on the catwalk for a few seasons now, with top designers (hello Saint Laurent!) choosing to bring back the glamour of the decade’s partywear. Think gold lame dresses, massive shoulder pads, big mismatched earrings and even bigger hair.
But now the attention is turning to daywear, with a new focus on the 80s blazer. Oversized, unisex and with (optional) power shoulders, it’s already a hit with the style set. Not sure how to wear it? Click through the gallery for some expert inspiration.
Victoria Beckham puts a polished spin on the 80s trend with clean-cut jeans, a classic tee and her signature high heels.
Feeling fashion brave? A co-ordinated combo in acid green is the coolest way to wear the trend.
It's all in the styling: roll up your sleeves, turn up the cuffs and tuck in your t-shirt for street-style approved flair.
Want to do ultimate power dressing? A pinstripe suit nods to the city boy, while hot pink boots bring it back to the catwalk.
A white blazer is perennially stylish, but if you want to make it work for now, add iridescent trousers and a sequin bumbag (obviously!)
