80’s Handbags
// July 25th, 2010 // school messenger bags
We all know styles, fashions, and fads come and go. Often they make their way back into popularity and that’s something that 80’s fashion has been doing for the last few years. On runways, celebrities, and fashionistas alike we’ve seen the return of classic 80’s style icons like punk clothing, oversized earrings, jelly bracelets, neons, and glam belts. And what should you choose to accessorize these 80’s outfits with? of course.
Why choose an 80’s style bag? Well, because for one they go well with today’s fashions. However, even if you’re not totally into the whole retro look to the point that you look like a Cyndi Lauper clone, many of today’s mainstream must-haves still have the feel of the 1980s. How about those leggings you so love to wear under skirts? 80’s. That eye-popping sequined dress you wear to the clubs? 80’s. Even subtle trends like bright colors and neons harken back to the days when Michael Jackson was king and video killed the radio star.
What should you look for in an 80s handbag? Think bold colors and patterns, glitz, denim, lace, metallics, mixed media, and animal prints. An 80’s bag should get you noticed. For an even more authentic look, try matching your purse with your shoes.
