When you\u2019ve lived through a particular decade, then any attempt to revive is sartorial codes can either be a jolly amble down memory lane or a dark vault that you want to remain firmly under lock and key<\/strong>.<\/p>\n So there must be plenty of people either celebrating or wincing at the current designer obsession with the 80s<\/strong>. At its most extreme, on the Marc Jacobs or Moschino catwalks, it channelled vintage YSL and Joan Collins in Dynasty with shoulder pads on steroids, pussy bow blouses, cinched-in waists, killer heels, knee-length pencil skirts, pumped up satins and power peplums.<\/p>\n In its more subtle incarnation (say at Max Mara), it was more about statement wide-cut-but-structured blazers<\/strong>, cinched-in waists, pleat-top tapered pants, tucked-in knits and tops, and even puffball hems.<\/p>\n Either way, the models even seemed to be feeling the vibe<\/strong>, striding along the runway, Cindy, Linda or Naomi-style, hands on hips, with the defiant look that was popular pre-Kate Moss.<\/p>\n So what are the key pieces that anyone adopting this look needs to have in their wardrobe?<\/p>\n A coat (pictured above)\u00a0<\/strong>- no, not the puffer, parka or other-casual coat that has dominated the outerwear sector for so long, Instead it\u2019s in soft wool (remember that?) or waterproofed material with some kind of shoulder emphasis, even if American footballer shoulders aren\u2019t quite the way to go. Instead, the shoulder can slope to play up a wider-than-usual cut. It could be a trench or wrap, and if it is, prepare to pull it in at the waist with a belt (the deeper the better).<\/p>\n
