What do you wear to a 1980s themed party?

The 1980s was a vibrant decade that can be relived with costumes that boast sequins, oversized tops, athletic wear or even by wearing a prom dress with an asymmetrical cut or large embellishments. Many of these ideas and more can be visualized with the help of online resources, such as the Vintage Fashion Guild.

In general, 1980s fashion was eclectic and full of color; metallics, statement jewelry, leg warmers and bold makeup paired with big hair encapsulate the various looks of the 1980s. Although, party-goers who seek a more conservative look should consider a preppy outfit with khakis and a blazer, or even a power suit with large shoulder pads.
