When I think of 80's I think of power suits and city yuppies. Wear a sharp suit, put some shoulder pads in it and walk around acting very important on a giant brick of a phone :-p

Oooohhh I love 80's themes! My sister had a social, and I dressed her up in crazy colours just for fun. She wore a hot pink dress with a green belt, and had her hair in a high, messy, crimped ponytail with a big yellow scrunchie. Then she wore white tennis shoes with orange ankle warmers. To top it all off she had bright makeup and a vintage denim jacket :)

I'd recommend not going for the standard neon Flashdance look. Be more original than that!

Just Google "80s fashion" and emulate something you see there.

I think the 80s was one of the funniest decades for fashion - gaudy neon prints and tight leggings. Not to mention massive hair!
A great person to look at for 80s fashion inspiration is Madonna. Lace gloves, ra-ra skirt, leggings, fishnet top and lots and lots of beads! Or you can go for a slightly more 'power dressing'. Think big, BIG shoulders and pencils skirts.
Either way, it's a great fashion era to play and have fun with. Good luck!

Watch Heathers and take inspiration from the costumes! Blazers, colored tights, brooches, pleated skirts.

hi tops or converse with spandex leggins, some form of body suit (preferably spandex too) In colours like turquoise, purple,green or bright pink. Then denim shorts of top.
A shoulder padded denim jacket (with studs in would be cool) and big crimped hair! x
