Hot Retro 80s Plus Sized Fashion on a Budget

The 80s are back and hotter than ever. Yes, you were probably born in the 80s or even the 90s, but that doesn't mean you can't rock the fierceness that you missed the first time!

80s fashion was loud, bold and screamed "Look at me!" It was partly a reaction to the soft, earthy colors that were popular in the 60s & 70s, but it was more about individuality. No matter what fashion you choose, make sure your accessories are bold, your makeup is bright and your hair is big!

One of the boldest plus size shirts we've seen this season is One Stop Plus's Color Block Top-especially in Mandarin multi. The Purple Multi & Bright navy Multi also channel 80s sensibilities, but we suggest you stay away from items with bright colors paired with black as with the other two colors. Black takes an edge off the brightness. Its available in sizes 16W-24W, starting at only 24.99.

We suggest pairing these with bright pants, large earrings, & chunky jewelry. Stay away from black!

Monochromatic fashion was also favored during the 80s, so Jessica London's Jumper Top really caught our eye.

Black jumper with attached white tee underneath & big bold buttons, its available in sizes 14-32 starting at 39.99. Notice the model's chunky jewelry and monochromatic necklace-also very 80s. We suggest pairing this with tight black pants & big, big hair!

A less extreme trend is the bright stripes as in Woman Within's All American Comfort Perfect V Neck Tee. Available in sizes 14w-30w starting at only 6.88 (regular price 19.99), this will fit any budget. Pair these with pants that match the boldest color stripe & matching extra large earrings.

Asymmetrical items gained popularity in the 80s for their modern lines, so our next recommendation is Avenue's One Shoulder Top in Meadowland. Sizes range from 14-32 & prices start at 29.99. Tease out your hair, add a wide belt, and don't forget the black eyeliner!

Accessories

Don't forget your bold, glam jewelry! We suggest Sweet Willow Rose Wholesale as they carry a wide range of 80s inspired jewelry in low cost lots of multiple items. Most items range from 2-3.00 per item in assorted lots with free shipping.

Wide belts add 80s flair to your long shirts. We love One Stop Plus's Wide Suede Belt for 39.99. If you'd rather find something less expensive, look for bright colors with a big buckle.

For more glam, we like Roaman's Bronze Chain Link Belt for 29.99

When putting together your perfect 80s wardrobe, just remember its even more about the attitude than the clothes. Be confident and fierce-you will own your style!
