wear '80s fashion trends in a modern way ...

The 1980s was a decade of big hair and bright clothes, which is why many people avoid '80s fashion trends. The '80s fashion trends can be difficult to work into a modern wardrobe, especially since they can have a costume-like appearance. However, as you will see, the '80s fashion trends can be worn in modern ways and look quite stylish.

1. OFF-THE-SHOULDER

One of the '80s fashion trends was oversized shirts that were worn off-the-shoulder. Often, these shirts were very bright. The off-the-shoulder trend can be quite modern, but you need to keep the look stream-lined. Stick to shirts that fit closer to the body and are meant to be worn off the shoulder. Also, avoid pairing these shirts with acid wash jeans, which are another trend from the 1980s.

2. ACID WASH JEANS

Even though they were stylish at the time, the acid wash jeans from the 1980s would not be considered very attractive today. Most of the jeans from the '80s had the typical “mom jean” cut, which made them unflattering. However, despite their shortcomings, it is possible to wear acid wash jeans in a modern and stylish way. Stick to skinny or straight leg styles with a low or mid-rise.

3. NEON COLORS

Neon colors were extremely popular in the 1980s; people thought nothing of pairing all the neon colors together. However, to keep the neon color trend modern, you want to stay away from pairing different neon colors together. To add a great pop of color to an outfit and keep it very modern, stick to neon accessories. Hot pink shoes or a neon yellow belt can make an outfit very stylish. Personally, I love the addition of hot pink shoes.
