#4 Madonna’s Lace Gloves and Bustier

When you think of 80s fashion, the first person who likely comes to mind is Madonna. There’s no denying that Madonna has been a fashion icon throughout her entire career, but it was her 80s ensembles that we’re particularly fond of.

Specifically, we adored her incorporation of lace into every outfit. Not only was it sexy and feminine, but it was often paired with fluffy tulle skirts and excessive amounts of jewellery, which spoke to her eclectic taste.

Get the 80s Madonna look with a lace bustier, elbow-length lace gloves, a tulle skirt (mini or midi will do – she was known to wear both), layers upon layers of long pearl necklaces, gold chunky earrings, and sleek pumps.

#3 Tina Turner’s Jean Jacket and Leather Mini Skirt

Tina Turner’s jean jacket and leather skirt combo from the infamous What’s Love Got To Do With It music video is the perfect example of a casual party outfit from the 1980s.

This grunge-meets-sexy look is not only easy to achieve, but will look great on almost anyone.

All you need to channel your inner Tina is a blue jean jacket, a black leather mini skirt and a pair of black high heels job done. a black tank top or tube top (extra points if you can find a matching black leather bustier), a pair of fishnet stockings, and a simple pair of black heels.

#2 Molly Ringwald’s Maxi Skirt and Knee High Boots in The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club is one of the most famous movies from the 80s. But it’s known for more than its clever quotes, it’s known for its fashion.

Molly Ringwald’s character in particular rocked a preppy and feminine outfit that serves as great party inspiration.

To pull off Claire Standish’s signature look, you’ll need a pair of knee-high brown leather boots, a brown maxi skirt (preferably leather, but suede will also do), a light pink v-neck blouse or t-shirt, and a brown leather crossbody bag.
