Answer 1

i don't know any web sights but people back then dressed kinda crazy. they wore alot of eye makeup like blue or black eyeliners alot of eye shadow. big hair everybody had big teased, hairsprayed hair. the clothes were kinda funky nothing really matched together. shirts were oversized and people wore alot of spandex. and mini skirts. big earrings and lots of those rubber bracelets (i call them maddonna bracelets). and i think for the shoes pumps were big. well i hope this helps you out alittle. oh did you ever see the movie the wedding singer with adam sandler, well if you did the girl that was julia's friend thats what people in the 80's dressed like good luck and have fun!!!

Answer 2

Curly hair and flippy bangs were in.Dark wash blujeans were consitered what the popular people wore and the faded wash with the line down th fronts from folding them that way. High top shoes. sweaters and baggy T-shirts with random things like strips on it. Plastic Big Dot earings also. If you can't find anything to that sort a person can never go wrong with an AC/DC shirt and a pair of jeans and curl you'r hair. Even though saved by the bell was in the 90's a lot of the stuff they wear in highschool is pretty accruate.

there's one website to start. Maybe you could rent Sixteen Candles or Pretty in Pink. But you definitely need to get some Aqua Net hair spray.

You could maybe go in an early Hip-hop direction---Fresh Prince neon colors, but like most 13 year-olds my favorite back then was Madonna.

You could also look at Oscar winners of that time or important events and dress as a group. Risky Business, Shoulder Pads, E.T.

Think "13 going on 30" and Wang Chung!---- sorry I couldn't help myself.

Answer 5

I wore leggings with big sweatshirts, leg warmers, big earrings, and those little black rubber bracelets that Madonna used to wear. Watch a Madonna video, such as Lucky Star

Answer 6

parachute pants, legwarmers, headbands, wristbands, bootie-socks with lace at the ankle, look at some old pics of Madonna, Flock of Seagulls, Howard Jones, The Cars.

Answer 7

i wore jordache jeans, or chic jeans with cowel neck sweaters. or to the library, and see if they have yearbooks from back in the 80's. that should give you some ideas.
