well i just started this club sooo this may not b a good anwser but anways if i were u i wood probly dress up in puntas ,bows ,crazy skirts or have that curly hair style like michael jackson. were some gloves or something. have a crazy hair style. remember that back in the 80's they really didn't care much about their fashion. wear just mostly anything that u feel comftable[i knw my spelling sucks] or u can have a afro because my dad was alive in the 80's and he had one. all in all you will look good either way!!! trust me and dont worry too much about how u look because u want 2 feel confident with wat u choose 2 wear.
put on a really baggy t-shirt, and try to make it bright. then put on a black pushup bra. for hair, put on a big bow and do the rest in curls. if you have short hair, go for a really spiky 'do or make a mohawk. pants... put on dayap green leggings and have a big black belt. wear legwarmers and lots of fake jewllery. wear highttops and put on lots of makeup that doesnt look natural. im talking blue eye shadow, red lips, kulay-rosas cheeks, and glitter everywear.
If your a boy: Go as John Bender from the Breakfast club- gray pants, black boots, jean jacket, white sando with unbuttoned flannel shirt, hand warmers, a chain and glasses.
If your a girl: go as Benders girlfriend Claire Standish- Dark brown pencil skirt, kulay-rosas top, kulay-rosas lipstick, Brown leather jacket, and a ivory scarf.
Other than that if you want to be generic- Leggings, Big shirts, Big hair, Big earrings, leg warmers, thongs-probably not, acid washed jeans, hightop sneakers, Puffy sleves. I didnt grow up in the eighties but I was born in 89 so I know alot about " my decade"
