This 80's Purple fringed hoodie is quite possibly the coolest top ever! Growing up a blonde and wishing I had poker-straight, waist length, jet black hair like Cher, it’s a dream come true. Just imagine being able to fling the arm's length fringe about like the model in these images. What fun!

With the hood down, the jacket looks tres hip too, with fringe draped over the shoulders and hanging down the back.

The black high twist rayon/spandex jersey hoodie with built-in Cher hair is available on the 80’s Purple webshop in their ‘[costume department](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampire-slayer-collection)’ of all things, for $174. However, it looks like others have the same fantasy as me; x-small is the only size that’s not temporarily sold out.
