5 Ways Topshop Unique Is Making Us Yearn For the Eighties

From the soundtrack to the accessories, it's pretty clear which decade inspired Topshop Unique's S/S 2017 show.

5 Ways Topshop Unique Is Making Us Yearn For the Eighties

Obviously we wanted absolutely everything - but here are the 5 ways Topshop will be helping us all live our best 80s lives next season (or right now, as some of the collection is available to buy right this second online…).

Fuchsia

Head-to-toe hot pink was the order of the day - think SATC Samantha meets Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl.

Animal print

Zebra print gets a modern vibe for 2016 with a psychedelic swirl update worn head-to-toe (if you've got a fear of colour or print blocking, you'll have to get over it pretty sharpish).

Eastenders Vibes

From soft-pink sweaters reminiscent of Angie Watts circa 1986 to chandelier earrings that might as well have been borrowed from the Pat Butcher props cupboard, 1980s Eastenders got a serious shout out - as well it might. Angie's pre-divorce wardrobe was the stuff of legend.

Eighties Workplace

Powered suits and PVC - teamed with fuscia accessories and big hair - it's almost a pastiche of 1980s power dressing, but it works.

Power Accessories

The aforementioned Pat Butcher earrings, seriously pointy shoe boots and sling backs, and - big news guys - the diamante anklet is back. When it came to accessories, Topshop Unique decided to go hard or go home. We love it all.
