This winter has already seen some hot styles among the stars. Surprisingly, you'll see a few '80s trends making a comeback, including shoulder pads, leather and thigh-high boots. Even neon is back in style! While these aren't easy fashions for everyone to wear, there are ways to incorporate them into your wardrobe. The thigh-high boots have been seen with figure-hugging pants such as the new trend of "jeggings" - tight-fitting, stretchy jeans. Leggings and another '80s throwback, stirrup pants, are also worn with thigh-high boots. Incorporating punches of those neon colors in tunics and accessories is the way to break up dark colors. All that leather comes with a price, however - look for economical options at stores such as DSW and in brands such as Forever 21 and Chinese Laundry. Don't discount the thigh-high's shorter cousin, the bootie, which is still very much in style.
Black leather has been seen on lots of celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Halle Berry, who favors a military look. You can make the look edgier by adding "hardware" like silver cuff bracelets and bold necklaces. Give it a girlier look with pearls. The fashion-forward Kardashian has been seen with structured shoulders in her coats and sweaters. We're not talking the giant padded shoulders of the '80s; simply a sharper, more framed look, which complements Kardashian's ample pear shape. If there's one accessory in which you should invest this season, it's the embellished handbag. Whether a clutch or a large tote, studs, zippers, grommets and even faux fur trim are perfectly on trend. If it's your head that's too cool, look no further than oversized knit berets, which have been seen on Hilary Duff, Taylor Swift and Janet Jackson.
