Reflecting upon the spring/summer 2023 collections that showed this past September, one thing is certain, the ’80s are back and better than ever.
Within the last couple of years, the decade famous for opulence and excess has slowly worked its way back into our hearts in the form of simple ’80s-inspired outfits, thanks to the popularity of trends like bike shorts and oversized blazers. And now, the spring 2023 fashion trends proved that the fashion world is ready to dive full force into the ’80s fantasy.
