Stranger Things Clothes Make a Comeback
Fashion trends are often influenced by films or TV shows which are so well-known that they're timeless. Stranger Things Costume has been a important source of inspiration to people who wish to imitate the fashion of the 1980s from their most loved characters.
The Netflix hit show has spawned many Stranger Things Clothes, including fashion trends such as shearling jackets (up by 99%), scrunchies (3x more searches than before the show's premiere), and Hawaiian shirts (5x more searches). But it's not just the youngsters wearing flannel shirts that have been fueling this nostalgic fashion as even adults are getting in on the action by putting their own spin on Stranger Things clothes.
In fact, the new Stranger Things: The Experience exhibit - which will be open in Seattle until August 6 and in Toronto until June 11, and Paris through June 25 - places visitors in the middle of the action, with a chance to volunteer for a sleep study at the "totally normal" Hawkins Lab. There's an Demogorgon picture wall, vintage uniforms inside the locker room, and props like the Hawkins Laboratory games machines.
The other stores you'll be transported into Hawkins High School with a well-lit and bright space, packed with lockers and evokes the excitement of youth and excitement from the very first season of the show. The racks of clothing and accessories include various styles of casual attire and more formal outfits that evoke the look of an high school from the 1980s and some standout pieces such as the black jumpsuit Eleven wears during all three seasons.
When double-denim was considered a faff that only was reserved for those with wrinkles who haven't completely gotten over the past, pin-up/bully Billy proves in Stranger Things that it can be stylish when properly. Wearing tight blue jeans and a denim jacket, and a tucked-in shirt, the look is bold, masculine, and exudes an air of machismo. Skip the greasy hairstyle.
Beyond the clothes the store also has for a variety of official Stranger Things merch at the store, which includes t-shirts, magnets, totes and bags. There are also some unique items, such as the Stranger Things Hawkins Action Figures as well as limited edition Stranger Things Cereal collaboration with General Mills. The store is certainly worth a trip, particularly for those who are fans of the show, or have someone you know who. Make sure you plan ahead, as the store can be crowded at weekends and during peak times.
