Last but definitely not least was a rise in animal prints. The pop culture specialists at Zavvi found that there was nearly a 100,000 searches for the '80s print. This trend wasn't featured too prevalently on "Stranger Things" so it makes sense that it was at the very bottom of the list, but a rise in searches is still definitely a sign of the times. Complex noted that the wild prints were one of the best trends of the decade. Other trends to keep an eye peeled for if the era continues to take over the style game include neons and acid wash.

Needless to say, the '80s are alive and well thanks in part to "Stranger Things." Each season, the different styles that appear onscreen get even better somehow. We're looking at you and that super-crimped hair, Karen Wheeler (Cara Buono). With another season already in the works, you might as well just start stocking up on the era's best fashion pieces now. Fingers crossed that they continue into the '90s, so we can see how the cast rocks those trends, too.
