Channel the eighties with a designer look for only 12 quid

September 5th, 2009

After years of being embarrassed by our teenage photos, and laughed at for our early initiation into fingerless gloves, shoulder pads and bubble perms, we children of the eighties are finally - finally - having the last laugh, sartorially speaking at least. As the 1980s are back, and we don’t mean ironically.

Or we would be having the last laugh if we had actually kept any of our original ’80s fashions. If you binned anything remotely ’80s glam when grunge appeared, you’ll have to join those youngsters (you know, anyone born after 1975) and form an orderly queue for a “re-imagined” homage to 80s designer chic.

But the good news is, you can start channelling the trend for only £12 thanks to designer website My Wardrobe - who are selling Jonathan Aston lace footless tights/leggings for only £12. Last seen on Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan, these black lace leggings will update your denim skirt or minidress with some A/W designer kudos in one go.

We tihnk these patterned black lace leggings are a fabulous way to add some on trend designer glam for a pittance - and far better than the money saving fashion tips we got in the ’80s recession (yes, we really were advised to use sanitary towels as shoulder pads. And no, we didn’t try it).
