About this deal

Brynn Jones, owner of Aralda Vintage in Los Angeles, where actresses like Alexa Demie and Taylor Russell shop for archival designer finds, has always been inspired by the boldness of the era. In an interview, she tells us how she particularly loves, "the structured silhouettes, abstract and playful shapes," and, "the unapologetic glamour and all of the statement pieces made to command the room." Like many of us who are enamored with the time period, Jones can't help but gush over the accessories. "The hats! The earrings! The brooches! The belts! The gloves!" she says. "Some of my favorite accessories from that era were made by Christian Lacroix, Yves Saint Laurent, and Karl Lagerfeld. Also, sunglasses by Alain Mikli, Issey Miyake, and Kenzo."

In the 80s, people liked bright colours. And this generation is not nearly as comfortable with that,” Priest says. “Gen Z, they don’t want to stand out so much … More than 40 years after the original “Star Wars” movie was released, its toy franchise remains one of the most popular in history. And with new movies scheduled for years to come, they look to stay relevant. But nothing takes the place in our hearts of the vintage collection of toys. Eighties fashion is all about the idea that there is no such thing as "OTT" – which is why we love it so darn much. It was the era that put the "power" into "power-dressing", when hair had to be so large that you’d have to walk instead of getting a cab, and when it was fully expected that you’d turn up to your exercise class wearing a thong on the outside of your clothes... What a time to be alive. Sweat suits, leotards, running shorts were worn all day. Add a terry cloth headband for Jazzercize class. Who would have thought that dolls born in a Cabbage Patch would cause riots in stores? Even though some people thought these dolls were ugly, the vast majority of people couldn’t get their hands on them fast enough.

And that wraps up the fabulous, funky ’80s. This article only begins to scratch the surface of ’80s fashion, because there were unique trends for each year, every age group, special occasions, and a plethora of sub genres. If the look you want is not covered here, just ask me for help. Shop 80s Style Clothing I bet you weren’t wondering, but here’s my favorite. If the shape doesn’t immediately register, here’s a hint: with the introduction of the first generation RX-7 came the public’s first foray into the delights and nightmares of rotary ownership. According to colour season theory, a ‘winter’ shines in fuchsia tones but is ‘washed out’ in brown. Photograph: Edward Berthelot/Getty Images Long before roller blades, the roller skate was the coolest toy on wheels. Kids would spend weekends skating outside or at the local roller rink. Whether you had the metal kind you slid on over your sneakers or the totally awesome boot skate, it was all about getting out and rolling! You can still find these today in stores and online in the classic design. Some things just never go out of style!

Long before the virtual reality games we play today were even imagined, the Atari 2600 console brought video games out of the arcade and into our homes. It changed the way we played games forever! Would-be doctors and nurses could practice their skills way before medical school with the complete Fisher-Price Medical Kit. It had a “working” stethoscope, thermometer, blood pressure cuff and even a syringe for a shot (ouch!). The original came in a hard briefcase carrier. The critical thinker and fashion personality Lillian Ahenkan, AKA Flexmami, has a different take on those confused comments under the TikTok videos. She notes that people’s initial reaction to figuring out their colours is often bewilderment. “And that’s the point! You really can’t tell.”While Williams is happy to welcome a new generation, she’s dubious about the efficacy of AR filters. This handheld electronic toy had a variety of games for kids to play: tic-tac-toe, memory game, puzzles and more. Sure, it may look like an old-style touchtone phone, but it was pretty cool in its day! Reporter Hannah Marriott tries out colour season analysis for a feature, 2015. Photograph: Alecsandra Raluca Drăgoi/The Guardian To the converted, the benefits of knowing your colour season are obvious – look better, spend less, feel more confident. But perhaps the biggest barrier to Gen Zs hopping all the way onboard is colour itself.
