80's tight and bright ideas (fancy dress)

[calais_304]

Hi all,

well ths years work theme for 'relay for life' is "80's tight and bright"....problem is i was born in the later part of the 80's and have no idea on what i should go as or even what to wear i have looked at google for ideas but can't really find anything.

So all you oldies who were hip in the 80's, what's some ideas as to what i should dress up as or even colours to wear...im guessing tight jeans and a tight button up T but wouldn't have a clue on the style.

was thinking a fonz look but it's not really to bright.

cheers all

Go in a tight red suit with a black silk shirt, no tie, massive shoulder pads, sleeves pulled up to your elbows and David Bowie hair like he had in Labyrinth!

lol thats awsome...but i don't think i'd be able to do a relay in a tetris outfit...bloody ripper though

[Lumps of cheese]

Black jeans, red leather jacket and one sparkling glove, guess who you're going as?

Haha I had a an 80's work party and it was great.
Basically go to Jay jays and you WILL find a shirt that is fluro and very bad taste but you will fit straight in.
also the tennis wrist bands are always a good touch and glo sticks haha

For a start... Stretch denim ball busting jeans... If people can't tell by looking at your jeans crutch if your Jewish or not then they aren't tight enough. Then either a plain white or black t-shirt with a flannelette shirt over the top with no buttons done up, sleeves rolled up to above the elbows...then any stye of running shoe... bonus points if you wear white tennis style shoes. No hats or caps... either short hair with lots of hair gel making it spiked up or a mullet cut. Females used to wear similar except their tops were more girly... fluro tank tops etc. Got to have those skin tight jeans though that was the 80's...and my balls still hurt !!

HAHA some fashions never die !!!

@OP... Also if you can find yourself an original FOX Holden or Ford Jacket... that was the in thing to wear to Highschool in those days.

[Bax]

Yeah as above, get yourself some ball hugging jeans.
Then get yourself either a fluro shirt and a mullet.

Don't forget the sneakers either, some reebok pumps or similar white with many bright colours.

Just go watch some early neighbours.

lol @ 80's fashion, cheers for all the ideas people, i'll go check out jay jays and see what they have to offer...this is going to be an interesting day/night...oh well it's for cancer so i think i can put up with ball huggers for 1 day

OMG you are all wrong! you need a bomber jacket, the green or black ones with the ac/dc patch on the back and heaps of badges on the front, fab black jeans, tight! a mullet and black puma skeakers or if you are going as upper class you need flare jeans but the type that flair at the top and are tight at the bottom any type of loud shirt and flip the color up a lightning bolt earing and ankle high sneakers ( look at video of "you can touch this" ) also if you go the the salvation army stores they will have an eightys section!

[ProphetVX]

GAME. SET. MATCH.

It is preferable if you're wearing a lemon yellow outfit opposed to white however.

Haha I remember having an old Army Surplus store jacket with the Rockband badges...

Well I had a pair of Blue bubblegumers jeans with a red belt that little plastic charms hanging off it, long white socks ruffled at the ankle with black sneakers and a white t-shirt with a pink pattern that kind of fell to one side with shoulder pads in it and blue plastic pencil earings, I was sooooo cool!

[NORTI]

I had a pink with black polka dots top that I wore off sholder with side ponytails, Mel & Kym/Kylie Minoque style.....

I was even given a original HDT jacket & Romes, but I told mum they were yuk & I didnt want them! I wanted high top Rebooks in white!

I too had 'Smile' jeans tight as, with legwarmers or the scrunchie socks over the top.

I had a huge collection of plastic earings. Like forks & spoons, pink & blue Pink Pathers lol etc.....

but I was a very late 80's kid.....

Hahaha... I'll bet you'll look back at your generation in the years to come and ask "Why did we all want to be like Americans ?!"
