EIGHTIES STYLE BACK IN VOGUE
Peacocks celebrates the return to eighties fashion with the launch of its £16 jump suit

It's official - the eighties are back!

Peacocks, the UK's leading value retailer is celebrating the return of 80's fashion as batwing tops and wet look leggings top the retailer's best sellers at its stores nationwide.

The era that bore the male ponytail, Luke Skywalker inspired jump suit and neon smilies has landed once more, as sales of batwing tops, oversized tee shirts and hareem pants become Peacocks' most sought after fashion items. Recessionistas are flocking to Peacocks' stores to stock up on the latest Banarama-esque fashion at value prices - selling in excess of 45,000 leggings and batwing jersey tops in January 2009.

In celebration of this remarkable era, Peacocks is bracing itself for a flock of customers (over seagulls) following this week's launch of its eighties inspired £16 jersey hareem jump suit.

Antonella Bettley, Peacocks Ladieswear Buying Controller said: "The eighties was one of our most memorable eras in terms of fashion, a reflection of the strengh of the economy through statement dressing and bold colours. Our hareem jump suit is fantastic value at £16, offering customers on a budget this season's key look at great value."
