anything goes with emma chamberlain

In this episode of "Anything Goes," Emma Chamberlain explores whether various fashion trends from the 1980s are trendy or timeless, spurred by her observation of a potential 80s revival in contemporary fashion. She analyzes items like power suits with shoulder pads, oversized blazers, high-waisted and tapered jeans, acid wash, statement jewelry, neon colors, graphic makeup, jazzercise attire, fanny packs, leather bomber jackets, leather-on-leather outfits, layered polo shirts, boat shoes, fingerless gloves, skinny ties, white shoes, checkerboard vans, and jelly shoes, deciding if each will remain stylish or fade away. Chamberlain uses her personal preferences and a "100 years ago" test to evaluate each trend, often debating her own criteria and acknowledging the subjective nature of style. She also touches on the broader trend cycle and whether distinct resurgences are still possible in today's diverse fashion landscape.
