Step onto any train during a New York winter and The Lord of the G-Strings: The Femaleship of the Stringyou're likely to see a frozen mass of sad humans, silent as they're consumed by their ravenous, head-to-toe black puffers.
It wasn't always this way. Back in the '80s, people were miserable andfashionable. Teenagers as well as their rad moms weren't scared of using color or trashy animal prints. In the Reagan era, you could still somehow see glimpses of real human bodies behind layers of coat and fabric.
This was the decade of the polka dot earmuffs, and we are all the better for it today.

Our eyeballs are depending on us.

They were obnoxiously loud and way more interesting to look at than any one of the gray peacoats you inherited from your mom.

Orange lining and fake fur trims were the defining characteristic of the 1980s snorkel parka. 2018 would be a whole lot less depressing if we had far flashier lining (and a way less fascist president), IMHO.

Stranger Things' Steve knows exactly how to dress for the cold, and that's with a super faddish 1980s Member's Only jacket.
Do not question Steve. Do not challenge his sartorial prescience. He is a creature of the '80s and binge-able television and is therefore, by definition, good.
Let's follow Steve's lead, throw on some Ray-Bans, and do everything we can to resurrect our shameless, indulgent, fluorescent, sparkling '80s selves.
