Whether you looked on the runways or in real life, bold shoulders, cinched waists, and sensible shoes were all the rage. The trend also got the Karl Lagerfeld endorsement, as seen here in Vogue’s February 1986 issue.

Apple released its first and only clothing collection in 1986. “The Apple Collection,” as its catalogue calls it, failed to take off in its day, though it would probably be the buzziest collection of 2016 if it were to be reinstated. Remember, Drake wore an Apple-employee jacket earlier this year, sending the Internet into a spiral trying to find similar items.
