Answer 2

OK as an old fart who went to school in the 80's. I can qualify to answer your question.
There were several groups that were popular during that time. There were Preps...Think Pink and Green. Tops siders, Khakis, Whale and sailboat motifs.
There were the new wavers...Listen to the kinks or the pretenders..Think tuxedo jackets...Skinny ties...peg leg pants...Capezio jazz shoes and perfectly manicured semi long hair..
There were the true Punks...Listen to the sex pistols or the clash...Leather jackets...Makup...Plaid pants or peg leg jeans...Combat boots or chuck taylor all stars...Multible piercings. Ripped t-shirts
Then there were the Jocks...Tan timberland boots...Jeans or courderoy pants...Plaid shirt...Varsity letter jacket...Feathered back hair...
Then there were the 80's corporate types..3 peice power suit with the official power tie of that year. and matching power shirtPower colors are yellow tie with french blue shirt. White shirt with orange tie..White shirt with purple tie....with wing tip shoes and a matching brief case.

Pick a look that most resembles your personality and go for it. Good Luck!
