1980s revival

                   
 

Due to the continued influence of vintage fashion and retro-inspired pop culture, 1970s and 1980s styles have maintained a steady presence in the fashion industry throughout the 2020s. clothing such as pinstripes, textured knits with vertical stripes, leather waistcoats, corduroy clothing, 5 inch inseam shorts, navy blue and emerald green power suits with shoulder pads, pleated trousers, and Chelsea boots regained popularity. Shirts with large and pointed collars became trendy again. The increased formality for men returning to the office was, in part, a reaction to the ubiquitous casual wear associated with working from home during the coronavirus lockdowns of 2020–21.

In Britain and the US, clothing that regained mainstream popularity from 2020 to 2024 included clothes with sports logos and color blocks, Harrington jackets, brothel creepers, Miami Vice inspired suits in candyfloss pink, ice blue, buttercup yellow or mint green, baseball jackets, stonewashed denim jackets, and red or green plaid trucker-style jackets with sheepskin lining, aviator sunglasses, brown shearling flight jackets, plaid suits, striped full-button cardigan sweaters with polo shirt collars, white Converse All-Star or throwback Adidas sneakers, tan gabardine trenchcoats reminiscent of those worn by 80s TV detective Columbo, preppy style aran sweaters and fairisle cardigan sweaters with shawl collars, safari suits intended for the modern business casual workplace, double-breasted 1940s-style blazers originally revived in the 1980s as the power suit, camp collar shirts with bold prints or stripes, corduroy sports coats, Ivy League college-style cardigans with trim, jacquard, dog's tooth, and cashmere check wool scarves, tricolour socks, Vans, monotone Plimsoll shoes, towelling polo shirts, turtlenecks, and t-shirts featuring vintage-inspired graphics such as muscle cars, comic book characters, and brands such as Coca-Cola.

Colors such as green, grey, navy blue, red, black, white, forest green, and orange became popular in 2021. Other desired articles of clothing included stylized pale blue and magenta representations of palm trees or cassette players, and 1980s movie posters such as Star Wars or the Ghostbusters logo due to the unexpected popularity of the 2021 film.
