Forever Young: John Hughes Film Fashion

John Hughes can pretty much be credited for the creation of the archetypal American high school, and his classic films popularized the style and feel of teens in the ‘80s. What he brought to the screen didn’t just influence trends at the time—it continues to trickle into fashion movements. Here, a look at the quintessential looks from Hughes’ movies, some of which are totally relevant today thanks to the ‘80s being back in a big way.

The bucket hat and blazer: In 1986’s “Pretty in Pink,” Molly Ringwald plays heroine Andie. She isn’t the most popular girl in school, but she loves fashion and shows off her creative personal style. With a nod to “Annie Hall,” Ringwald modeled the menswear-inspired look, but added a feminine edge with floral scarves, which eventually gave way to the “Blossom” craze.
