OMG you guys, like, what do I even wear?
The 80's offered an eclectic collection of fashion trends so choose the style that best fits your personality.Rock Star - Acid washed, bleached and ripped jeans or black leather pants. A tight t-shirt with the sleeves ripped off or a spandex tank top. Add a long-haired wig to finish off the look. This is the most important part.
Fitness Freak - A leotard paired with leg warmers and a large sweatshirt does the trick. Go full on Flashdance and cut out the neck of the sweatshirt.
Preppie Look - Start with a pure khaki bottom. Add a brightly-colored polo - Izod preferred - with the collar up and a sweater tied around the shoulders, or a Members Only jacket. Penny loafers complete this refined look.
Punk Power - A leather vest is key. Look for bright colors of temporary hair color to add to your hair – or maybe even a wig. Dark eye makeup, a nose ring, red lipstick and a choker-style necklace are the accessories you need.
Formal Attire - Puffy sleeves, bright colors and lots of organza. Pull out your own 80s prom dress or raid the closets of friends and family who grew up in the 80s. A thrift store is also a good place to look for this vintage find. Don’t forget rhinestone jewelry and a wrist corsage.
