The iconic '80s trend is still going strong. It's playing a major role in fall styling.

The golden era of disco is a treasure trove of fashion inspiration. Designers are constantly reaching for motifs that triumphed in the 1980s. This season, jackets and blazers with broad, dramatic shoulders are making a comeback, especially since they've made several comebacks in recent years. They've recently been showcased on the runways by brands like Saint Laurent, Givenchy, and Acne Studios.

The 1980s are a key period in the fashion world. It was then that some of the most iconic trends were born, which, despite the passage of time, remain relevant. Contemporary designers still eagerly revisit trends popular in that decade, giving them seasonal updates.

Recently, there's been a renewed interest in the aesthetics of the golden age of disco. Fashion shows from renowned brands showcased clothes and accessories clearly evoking the wild 1980s. The runways featured bold accessories, oversized cuts, and bold colors.

This season, a particularly coveted trend from the penultimate decade of the last century is broad, pronounced shoulders. This motif is coming back like a boomerang – every few seasons, designers enrich their collections with clothes featuring a characteristically exaggerated shoulder line , usually pairing them with a contrasting, fitted hem.

This fall, silhouettes straight from the 1980s were especially promoted by the legendary brand Saint Laurent , which presented the essence of the fashion of this period on the catwalk: voluminous jackets, coats, short blazers and leather jackets with theatrically enlarged shoulders thanks to sewn-in pads.

The French fashion giant's creative director, Anthony Vaccarello , said in a statement that it's not the ornaments and embellishments, but the precise construction that makes a design unique. In his new collection, the designer combined otherwise expressive cuts with an equally striking color palette.

A perfect way to liven up your fall wardrobe is an oversized blazer in a vibrant shade of fuchsia or orange, inspired by the Saint Laurent show. It will instantly make you stand out from the crowd. A fashionable leather jacket in brown or olive green —with oversized shoulders, of course—will complete everyday, more subdued looks.

Fans of classic colors can find inspiration in offerings from Givenchy, Ferragamo, and Acne Studios . These brands have opted for a timeless, formal gray this season. A gray blazer with large shoulder pads, reminiscent of men's attire, is an elegant and sophisticated wardrobe staple that can be used to create a multitude of chic looks for work—and beyond.

When composing outfits that emphasize a pronounced shoulder line, remember to maintain proportions. A good idea is to pair an oversized top with a slightly more form-fitting bottom. You don't have to resort to ultra-tight skinny jeans – classic straight-leg trousers or a midi skirt will work just fine.
