Style guide
Glamoratti (80s power dressing), explained: what to wear and how to style it
Short answer
Glamoratti is Pinterest's name for the 1980s power dressing revival. Its defining pieces are the sharp-shoulder blazer, the baggy sculpted suit, the pencil skirt and chunky gold jewelry. Marie Claire's main styling rule is to pair a structured blazer with a pencil skirt and cap-toe pumps, then add big gold accessories and a wide belt.
Steps
-
Start with the blazer
Pick a boxy blazer with a strong shoulder. It sets the whole shape, so everything else can stay simple.
-
Add the skirt or the suit pants
A pencil skirt matches the sharp top half. A baggy suit with sculpted shoulders works too, with a striped necktie, as Marie Claire shows.
-
Layer a bow blouse
Wear a large bow over a button-up shirt under the blazer. Marie Claire pointed to extra-large bows on spring 2026 runways.
-
Choose cap-toe pumps
Cap-toe pumps are the shoe Marie Claire pairs with the blazer and pencil skirt.
-
Finish with gold
A big gold cuff, chunky jewelry or a wide belt. Pinterest's trend notes call out chunky accessories, and one or two is enough.
What Glamoratti is and where it comes from
Glamoratti is a name from Pinterest for a revival of 1980s dressing: sculpted shoulders, baggy suits, funnel necks and chunky gold jewelry. Marie Claire quotes Pinterest describing it as power dressing with a twist.
The same outlet reported that spring 2026 runways were full of boxy blazers, bows and pencil skirts. So the look is not a costume. It is office tailoring made louder, with the shoulders and the jewelry doing most of the talking.
You may also see it called 80s power dressing, the 80s revival or power suiting. Searches for those phrases lead to the same pieces.
Key pieces
The structure comes first. The research across Marie Claire and Pinterest points to a handful of pieces. Most closets already hold one or two of them.
Start with the jacket you will wear most, then build outward.
- Sharp-shoulder blazer or baggy suit with sculpted shoulders
- Pencil skirt
- Funnel-neck jacket
- Bow blouse
- Leather bomber jacket
- Chunky belt, gold cuff and other chunky gold jewelry
- Cap-toe pumps
Colors and fabrics
Color runs bold. Pinterest and Marie Claire mention neon and acid brights, pastel suiting, chalky pinstripes and plenty of gold. A pastel suit and a chalky pinstripe feel very different, but both keep the same sharp shoulder.
Fabrics add texture. Pinstripe wool-look suiting, taffeta and leather all appear in the research, and so does chunky gold jewelry as a material in its own right. If your blazer is quiet, let the jewelry be loud. If the blazer is bright, keep the jewelry to one piece.
How editors are styling it now
Marie Claire pairs a sharp-shoulder blazer with a pencil skirt and cap-toe pumps. It also suggests a baggy, sculpted-shoulder suit with a striped necktie, and extra-large bows worn over a button-up shirt.
Marie Claire also layers gilded gold accessories with a boxy blazer for a boardroom feel. Pinterest, quoted by the same outlet, points to big gold cuffs and wide belts as the accessories to add.
The common thread is one strong structured piece and one or two shiny extras. You do not need all of them at once.
Wearing it in late fall and winter 2026
Pinterest's 2026 forecast lists sculpted-shoulder suits, funnel necks and high-collar jackets. Those are tailoring and outerwear pieces, which suit fall and winter well.
Wear the blazer over a bow blouse for office days, or swap the pencil skirt for suit pants when it is cold. A leather bomber covers weekends. For outfit ideas at work, see work outfits for women under $100.
