80s Fancy Dress

[TheSouthendUnitedRunner]

Guys and girls,

This Saturday my local pub, The Norton, is having an 80s night and I thought I'd do my bit for the community by getting dress up and getting smashed.

Now, I now a lot of the posters on here are children of the 80s so I thought I'd see if anyone has any good ideas, websites etc that can help me out.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cricko should be able to help heis 83.

Failing that Adam and the Ants or similar should be a good place to start.

Going to watch The Business tomorrow night, may give me some more options.

Earlier Adam Ant with the white stripe across the face would be better!

Had a friend who used to dress up like this all the time, once went to a churchy friend's 18th with him like it!

You could also just go the new romantic, frilly, strange hair look - see the New Romantics for inspiration.

Meh, bollox to all that new romantic nonsense, all the label and casuals look.

Get some flares, grow your hair, take some E (ok don't), invest in some maracas and go as The Happy Mondays or The Stone Roses.
