The sun is out, the sky is blue and our minds turn to summer sports of cricket and of course, tennis, not to mention the clobber associated with it. Like this classic Adidas Originals Ivan Lendl track top.
First released in 1982 as a twist on the Superstar track top and forever associated with the Czech tennis legend, the top has the distinctive Argyle print detailing, the period Adidas branding and a Trefoil zip detail.
Limited numbers as you would expect, available at a price of £69.
Not content with knocking out a stylish pair of trainers in the late 70s, Puma teamed up once more with Argentinian tennis ace Guillermo Apolinario Vilas in the early 80s to produce another iconic tennis shoe – the Puma G. Vilas 2.
Another terrace classic 'back in the day', the slimmer Vilas 2 (compared to the original), features a simple and clean nubuck upper with a perforated toebox, gold printed branding on the side and tongue and finished with a soft cushioned lining and sculpted PU midsole.
All white is the colourway, £54.99 is the price.
Cool picnicware, eye-catching design or affordable street art – you get the lost with these very affordable Keith Haring x Platex plates and trays.
Two are pictured above, with a tray shownover the page, but that's just a fraction of the designs currently available at the Colette website, which include large and small trays, as well as plates, all made of a melamine resin, all with a Keith Haring signature and of course, all featuring Haring's 1980s streeet art.
Prices vary between 5 and 10 Euros per piece.
Daringly figure-hugging cuts and crisp white fabrics have become an instant marker of eighties dressing since vampish leading ladies like Sharon Stone set the mood of the power-dressing decade. This Collar Cap Sleeve Dress from French Connection taps into that high end style with ease, bring an ideal 80s-look evening dress.
The use of a suit style collar adds a touch of the power suit to the dress, just as fitting with the decade as the tuliped pencil skirt and bright white shade. The capped sleeve's structured cut hints at accented shoulders too, while the dress avoids showing too much cleavage for most occasions.
It's available now online from ASOS for £110.
Ok, it's a bit late for the 20th anniversary of the second summer of love, but if you love dancing in the open air and the sound of a Roland 303, the I Love Acid t-shirt by Electric Sun could be for you.
It's a heavyweight T-shirt (185 gsm) made from 100 per cent pre-shrunk ring-spun cotton, screenprinted in black and red with the logo and old school synth design, the Electric Sun logo also in the back between the shoulder blades.
The shirt is also limited to just 50, each one individually numbered and available exclusively online. Medium to extra large available, all selling for £17.99. You can also check out some classic acid house tunes at the very same website.
Here's a more modern item than we usually feature, but if you want something that screams the 1980s, this Bang and Olufsen Beocom 2000 telephone is it.
The phone was designed by Lone and Gideon Lindinger-Loewy in the 1980s, continuing in production until late in the 1990s – but the colourful colour scheme tells us this is an earlier model (the bright colours were killed off in the early 90s).
Functional as a modern home phone and known for its excellent sound quality, an early use of a digital display, number memory, pause function, built-in speaker – there's even a hidden note pad. It's on a 'Buy It Now' for £89.99 – or for the more frugal, a 'Make Offer' too.
