80s-Inspired Men's Streetwear

Stussy's Holiday Line is Inspired by Its Past Iconic Pieces & Styles

These 80s and 90s-inspired pieces of men's streetwear spark nostalgia and revive beloved looks from Stussy's past collections. Taking styles from its past 35 years, Stussy created a holiday line of men's clothing that uses designs like silk Letterman jackets and fleece sweaters. The fashionable pieces are also functional as they've been strengthened with nylon and polar fleece to brave the winter.

Even the models sporting the clothing for the brand have 80s and 90s looks and hairstyles to them -- one model with shoulder-length flattened hair, which the world has seen a return to.

The men's streetwear line features a wide array of hats that reference the past -- like bucket hats, balaclavas, denim baseball caps and beanies. Though these are taken from previous decades, the looks manage to adapt to 2015 as some of the styles have naturally returned to the fashion world already.
