Vintage 80s outfits and fashion trends made a comeback in 2018. From runways to magazine shoots to street style, the quirky 80s fashion is ruling everywhere. We had supermodel Kendall Jenner rocking an over-sized jacket. Singer-actress Rita Ora sported fingerless gloves for her nude shoot for Clash magazine. Chrissy Teigen brought shoulder pads to the red carpet. Now, these are signature clothing items from the 80s that significantly became popular 30 years later. Not only 80s fashion was among the most googled fashion searches in 2018, but the year also saw people being overenthusiastic about 1990s fashion and 2000s fashion. Apart from a specific decade of styling, fashion lovers showed a keen interest in alternative fashion styles such as grunge or Harajuku. Meghan Markel and Kate Middleton are only two names netizens have indicated interest in amidst all the fashion trends from decades and genres drama. Most Googled Beauty Questions 2018: From Applying Magnetic Lashes to Finding Best Concealer, Here’s Top-10 Trending Beauty Topics!
