I’m a fashion editor & 80s style is back thanks to Rivals – my top picks including Barbour jacket dupe from H&M

THE Eighties were all about adding that extra detail, and from ruffles to chains and appliqué florals, there were plenty of adornments to be had.

Bows are the embellishment of choice this year, with searches recently rising by 500 per cent according to fashion site LTK.

They are all over the high street, too, in the form of hair accessories as well as on tops, jackets and dresses.

And they are a key part of the Rivals look, as seen on Nafessa Williams’ character, Cameron Cook.

This pink mini dress from Zara is a perfect nod to the trend.

THIS style of blouse always seems to come back around again, so it’s great to have one in your wardrobe.

Katherine Parkinson’s character, Lizzie Vereker, can be seen wearing one as she heads to London for work.

The pussy-bow blouse also has the royal seal of approval, with the Princess of Wales a huge fan.

While last month, American Vice President Kamala Harris stepped out at a convention in Chicago wearing one, making it the ultimate power-dressing staple in the process.

They’re not just for the office, though.

IT is a print that is synonymous with this time of year – and Rivals features an abundance of flannel shirts and checked coats.

Main character Taggie O’Hara, even layers hers at one point, wearing both a checked shirt and a coat.

Her timeless look proves that the print doesn’t age, as you could easily see this outfit on the High Street today.

Since Rivals hit our screens, checks are proving more popular than ever, with searches up 2,800 per cent according to LTK.

So, check out this, err, check coat from George at Asda.

STATEMENT jewellery is certainly a big feature of the Rivals look, with large earrings, chunky necklaces and over-the-top brooches upping the Eighties glam factor.

Often overlooked, a bold brooch can instantly elevate even the simplest of outfits.

A STAPLE of Eighties fashion and often the first thing that springs to mind when you think of clothes from the decade, shoulder pads have had a resurgence.

Big shoulders are back, thanks to micro trends such as “corpcore”, which according to Pinterest saw searches rise by 950 per cent this year.

Ray Holman, Rivals’ costume designer says: “We’ve come full circle – people need to feel that tingle of a glamorous outfit and feel the power of a shoulder pad.”

And no one carries off the look better than Cameron Cook, who sports a punchy red blazer, complete with boxy shoulder pads.

Get a similar one, in on-trend burgundy, from Michelle Keegan’s range at Very.
