So, the 80s are back. The good, the bad and the ugly. My mom has a theory that everything goes in 20 year cycles. I think she's right. So around 2029, skinny jeans will be in full effect right? Let's hope not!

A few things from the 80s we can do without. Fanny packs, gumby fades and overalls are all back. Thankfully they haven't caught all the way on yet. I've seen a few too many Bobby Brown esque fades in music videos lately and I'm sure they will be followed by men in biker shorts soon. But one trend that excites me to no end...the 2 finger ring redux! I'm not talking gold nuggets and nameplates (though the name plates are back too). Remember these gaudy pieces of craziness?

I'm excited about the modern, sometimes strange 2 finger rings that are gracing fingers everywhere. New materials, different textures and a whole new spin have been put on the modern 2 finger ring. It's resulted in some wearable art and funk that makes quite the statement. In the April issue of Instyle, there's editorial page on 2 finger rings that featured my all time favorite ring, Kara Ross' Maple Wood Ring with 18k gold and pave Diamonds. Yeah, it's over $3,000 so you won't see me in it, but how fuckin dope is that thing?

Dont have a spare $3,000 sitiing around? Check these out...

If you're going to do the trend, be different and make a statement with something unexpected. Like the Hello Drama Youth Gone Wild 2 finger ring below:

Or this super original wood and leather ring from Mathematics:

Throw on some color and rock RED GLASS by StudioLeanne:

Need something a bit edgier? MerCurious makes lots of cool shit like this skull ring:

Another favorite of mine, this the Mic Test:

I don't know what I like better, the ring or the name. The "Vodka and Orange":

Trends are only really cool if you can find a unique way to wear them. Maybe the 2 finger ring isn't your thing. Find a trend...look for it's hidden, black sheep step cousin...then rock THAT!
