Q: Is it just me or are the '80s coming back in a big way? I've already lived through it once and am not loving the flashbacks! Do we have to go through this again?
A: Yes, whether you like it or not, the '80s are back in a big way. Neon was splashed all over the runways from Dries van Noten and Marc by Marc Jacobs to Moschino and 3.1 Phillip Lim! It's a huge trend for Spring that you can't miss -- partly because it's so damn eye catching. If you're shy about looking like an Electric Youth throwback, keep your neon limited to accents and accessories. Add a pop of color with a bold stripe on a sweater, a pair of dayglo hightops or even a shot of color on a skinny tie. If you're feeling particularly brave and like to make a statment, pump up the volume and reach for a solid shirt or pants in a fluorescent hue. If you're not a fan of fluorescent, stick to the classic 80s looks from gray jeans and jackets -- especially gray leather jackets from Diesel. This time around, the looks are more tailored than their predecessors -- so you won't feel like you're swimming in M.C. Hammer pants.

The inspiration looks more like a bag lady wearing everything she owns ...Who wants to be bothered with all those pieces and layers ? I doubt that the person who would like this look could afford it.
