"What To Wear To Work" (Vogue Patterns, Early Spring 1985)

 There was no way I was going to get out of the 1980s without a post about a suit.  It was, after all, the era of the power suit.

This version, designed Joseph Picone, is a classic which could almost be worn today.  I could have picked a more exaggeratedly eighties example, but in the end I went with this one because... the model was wearing a Walkman.  For those not old enough to remember, Walkman was the first personal audio device, the ancestor of today's portable media players.  First released in the West earlier in the decade, the Walkman became a quintessential 1980s accessory (and had a star turn in 1985  in Back to the Future!)
