Big 80's Style's?

Question

We are having 80's day and I need some BIG ideas.

Answer 1

I think you start it all off with a pair of parachute pants. Then you have Adam Ant and/or Wham playing on your walkman cassette.

You want to "crimp" your hair. Hair crimping is a method of styling usually straight, long hair so that it becomes wavy, often in a sawtooth fashion. This is usually achieved by treating the hair with heat from a crimping iron or by braiding the hair then undoing the braids. Crimping peaked in populatiry during the mid 1980s.

If you can get ahold of some California Raisins and/or "Where's the Beef" T-shirts -- those would be cool to wear. Maybe you just have some t-shirts made up that say "Where's the Beef".


You'll need some 80's accesories too -- these would all work:
Atari
Cabbage Patch Kids
Care Bears
Mattel Football
Pac-Man
Pictionary
Pound Puppies
The Rubik's cube
Strawberry Shortcake
Teddy Ruxpin
Tetris
Transformers
Trivial Pursuit
Wacky Wall Walkers

Answer 2

Mall hair - oh those were the days.... *flashback*

Oh sorry - lost myself for a minute - anyway...

Natural waves or curls all over - EXCEPT for the bangs - tease your bangs to give yourself an extra 2-3 inches of height - find a leather jacket with fringe - rip some jeans in the knee area - and my favorite part...

Now listen careful - because this is important (many of us had this down to a science)...

at the base of your jeans - fold the jeans around your ankle so tight that it cuts off your circulation and make two small cuffs so that your legs look like toothpicks stuck in an olive. then make sure you either wear Loafers with no socks or canvas tennis shoes with at least 2-3 different socks layered together and pushed down.

Don't forget - in the 80's pastels were the in color the only dark color allowed was black and that was normally for the stoners.

Answer 3

Madonna's black lace gloves, leg warmers, pony tail on the side, and above all BIG BIG HAIR....lots of spray. You also can use bright eye shadows. Sweatshirts that are cut at the top and show off a shoulder with a tank top strap showing. Spandex pants. Acid washed jeans....They also sell old tee shirts with famed people of the 80s, everything from George Michael to Poison. But again with thw BIG BIG hair.
