Nostalgia for the ’90s isn’t going anywhere (as evidenced by all of the trends that came out of New York Fashion Week), but a different retro aesthetic is also making a comeback: the style of the ’80s. Between the return of Glow, the presence of scrunchies in the Supreme Court, and the fanny pack renaissance, it almost seems as if fashion has taken a DeLorean back in time.
The latest manifestation of this trend is the windbreaker. Not only is it back, but today’s iterations are the loud, bright, color-blocked styles of dance aerobics’ heyday. Aside from being a non-shoulder-padded way to enjoy ’80s activewear, these windbreakers are the perfect athleisure third piece to get you through the spring showers.
