I've recently gotten really into the musical genre of Synthwave. For those unfamiliar, it's essentially based off music of the 80's. My question is, how could I start to incorporate a cool 80's feel into my fits? Here's a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEW7Rg6UEFM

That's funny OP, I have as well within the past few weeks. I really really like the a e s t h e t i c of it

As some anon said;
Wayfarers
old digital casio watches
Varsity jackets
Faux/leather jackets
Chucks/ old nikes
light denim jeans
plain black/red tees

etc

Hah, I'm honestly partially obsessed. I've made 3 songs of my own in the past couple days. Funny you should say that, I've been looking at the Countach nonstop, I'd settle for a Delorean though.

Any suggestions on where to look for decent varsity jackets?

I was meaning to release them all as an album, but I'll share this one for now. Pls remember I never claimed I was good senpai:

What you could do, is to add all kinds of hardware onto your outfit. Put your smartphone on a powerglove or something. Nowadays everything you need is compiled into 1 thing: your phone.
