The biggest names, such as Yves Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors, create trends based on times that ended almost 40 years ago. What the great figures of the fashion world present on the runways appears in wardrobes and shops. There is therefore no doubt that the finest designers are recalling 1980s fashion in their collections.
Denim everywhere
Probably every man has jeans in his wardrobe. This material has been accompanying people for decades. It is so popular because of its versatility and comfort. Nowadays, in addition to denim trousers, it is fashionable to wear something made of denim on the upper body as well, such as a shirt. A few years ago, this might have been considered excessive, but today such a combination is no longer regarded as inappropriate. Denim vests, skirts, shirts, shorts and dresses are increasingly common. Denim accessories such as caps, handbags and backpacks are also becoming fashionable. However, we must remember not to let our imagination run away with us. We should show moderation in everything and be guided by good taste and style. The fact that 1980s fashion is returning does not mean that we should dress exactly as people did back then.
Fitted distressed jeans
Fashion reaches men’s minds with a slight delay. This is because, in most cases, men are not interested in new developments in this field. Fortunately, there are women who keep up with the latest trends. Mothers, wives and lovers will help a man dress well and fashionably. On the streets of Polish cities, men in fitted jeans with characteristic holes can increasingly be seen. Worn areas on the thighs, knees and shins are now almost standard. Men are no longer afraid to wear trousers with holes. In the past, people used to distress denim trousers themselves. Some still remember their parents’ anger when they saw brand-new jeans that had been worn through and had holes in them. Today, such trousers are available in every shopping centre and in all branded shops.
Acid-wash jeans and rolled-up legs
Acid-wash jeans, available from Denley.pl, for example – https://www.denley.pl/pol_m_Odziez-meska_Spodnie-meskie_Spodnie-jeansowe-404.html - may be associated with the kitschy fashion of the 1980s. However, today they are experiencing a renaissance. In the past, the acid-wash effect was achieved with chlorine, which bleached parts of the fabric. People did it themselves at home. Of course, everyone later faced the dilemma of explaining the effect to their parents. Today, men do not have this problem. It is enough to visit a shopping centre, where such trousers can be bought in any branded jeans shop. Acid-wash trousers do not appeal to everyone, but they have found their supporters and enthusiasts. Men can look quite good in such trousers, provided they choose the remaining items of clothing well.
Another trend borrowed from the 1980s is rolled-up trouser legs. This treatment is used with fitted trousers that taper towards the bottom. In the past, the legs had to be sewn and pressed so that they would not unroll. Today, of course, we do not have to bother with such procedures. Men’s trousers with rolled-up legs can be found in many jeans shops. Jeans styled this way look very good and demonstrate good taste. It is a good idea to wear burgundy leather shoes with such jeans.
1980s fashion is inevitably returning and changing our wardrobes. However, we should consider whether every new trend will be in good taste. A modern man can assess whether a particular pair of jeans suits his style. Let us embrace new trends, but not overdo it, so that we do not amuse our friends.
