What to Wear Back To School

It’s almost time to get back to school. So what will everyone be wearing? People have their own opinions on style and fashion, but designers are setting the stage for bringing back the 80′s.

From Cyndi Lauper to Madonna, the 80′s were inspired by these performers and more. Neon colors, over sized shoulder pads, leg warmers – they are back!

If you aren’t sure you are ready for neons and broad shoulders, then start small with belts, jewelry, hats, or a scarf. You will be trendy, but not changing your personal style.

Designers like Betsy Johnson, Donna Karan and Marc Jacobs are putting funky styles on the racks everywhere. Look for them in your local Mall stores like Macy’s and Justice.
