Has anyone seen any 1980's inspired tops/blouses in the shops?

I'm hugely into the 80's look and my go-to outfit for nights out is black skinnies with heels and some kind of 80's inspired blouse/top, either vintage or just inspired by the era.

Am finding the vintage stuff is becoming stupidly expensive on eBay/Etsy etc and would love to find some more affordable options.

Colour, pattern, textures (esp love metallic stuff), puff sleeves, batwing sleeves, shoulder pads all right up my street.

Has anyone seen anything?

If you have any weigh and pay type events on near you they usually have stuff like that. It's a rummage fest and you're never guaranteed anything but they are good fun and often have quite a bit of 80s stuff.
Last year I got a puffball black velvet dress with metallic embroidery on it.
It's crazy and I love it. Cost worked out at about a tenner.

I bought this from Zara recently which makes me feel quite 80s (disclaimer though, I was born 89 so may be missing the mark 😂)

Slightly different pattern- both have shoulder pads!

I don't remember wearing anything like that in the 80s, in fact I think I still have some of it in my wardrobe. My favourite tops were a white v neck blouse with a bow in a sort of jacquard fabric. A pink t-shirt with New York skyline outlined in sequins and a sort of Victorian blouse with a v neck frill,I saw a similar one last year but can't remember where, I wore the last one with very tight jeans

That's not 80's

JustLost I must check when the next big vintage events are up here. I've been sticking to online shopping mainly but it's so much better to browse in real life.

dancing those are fun but I'm not a fan of bodies. Need something a bit more forgiving on the belly area!

Have grabbed these first two from ASOS and the last one (true vintage) from Etsy. Will see how they look.
