Remember the movie Flashdance? Ahhh, yes. Good memories of Jennifer Beals welding by day and dancing by night. Besides being a wildly popular movie and soundtrack of the 80’s, several fashion styles were sparked by the movie. Leg warmer, high heels with spandex and oversize sweatshirts just to name a few.
On the cover of every cassette player was a picture of Jennifer’s character in an oversized sweatshirt. One sleeve hung off the shoulder. Girls, and guys to a lesser extent, copied this look for years. An oversized sweatshirt, with or without the sleeves, was worn over a bra, tank top or smaller shirt. The ensemble was then paired with spandex pants (leggings), really tight jeans or a mini skirt.
The oversize sweatshirts came with any print imaginable on them. Colleges even began adopting the new styles, and put their logo on the oversized duds. When the neon craze hit, sweatshirts were ready to adopt them too. Fluorescent colors were often times seen over a black pair of spandex or jeans.
Below there are the modern versions, the "LOVE" sweatshirt is our own creation, the one who wears Irene (one of the coolest Italian fashion blogger) is Maison About for About. Different ways of wearing them for different styles!
