Accessories are a great option for picking up on current trends because there’s not as much worry about fit, and often just a small touch of “trendy” can update an entire look. Here are three pieces that quote some of the trends from the 80s that are hot now. All these are available on 80sPurple.com.

First, there’s The Superior Watch from Nixon that is made in a chunky, stylized 80s look. This analog watch has two hands run with Japanese quartz technology. It is water resistant to 30 meters with a hardened mineral crystal, stainless steel detail. The watch strap is made of imported leather with a stainless steel buckle. $120.00

Give your hair an 80s vibe with this handmade Lara Kranitz Women’s Ava Short Headband in purple. This is a thin headband wrapped in silk cord with a gold chain and feathers that cascade behind your ears. The chain is 9 inches long. $42.00

Finally, you can do amazing things with a silk scarf, particularly one with a bold graphic print like this Diesel Women’s Rivatarf Foulard with silver and blue print. Made of silk chiffon, it measures 32 x 32 inches. $50.00
