Ok....I love the 80's....you either need to have a side pony tail and spray pink, orange or purple streaks in the pony tail. You could also crimp your hair and make it really really big and poofy... big bangs. RAVE hairspay mega hold...haha...If you have any New Kids on the Block stuff that is good too, Jean jacket, plastic bangle braclets or jelly braclets...these u can find at wal-mart today...big plastic colored earrings. what else...big bow for the hair, or really tacky poofy dress. Anything with crazy neon and bright colors...and leg warmers...you could get bright colored scrunch socks...and layer then like pink and purple together.... You might also want to wear really bright colored eye make up and make like a zip zag from the corner of you eye down our cheek...or even like pink and purple eye shadow in line and bring it out all the way to your temples...you can add a touch of water to a dark pink or dark purple make up to make the pigment darker...try getting FLIRT make up at KOHL's.... what else...hmmm jean jacket is good...one with patches on it or black marker with 80's hair bands like white snake etc written on it...any cheapy u can get at wal.mart.... it all depends how much you wanna spend... I was an 80's girl one halloween in college and I got all the stuff at wal.mart for like 65 bucks! :) also u can do mismatched shoes or even a carebear t-shirt under that jean jacket. off the shoulder shirts are good and using one of those O rings to do that twist in your shirt is good tooo... what else...oh goodness I can't think! :) u could also do a search on 80's on the web and images and see what comes up! :) GOOD LUCK!!! You'll look great with these tips! and you can wear the tights and legwarmers too put some scrunch two colored mismatched sock too!!!

Current belly tops and tight jeans are actually a variation on 80's style, so wear something like that, or a denim mini skirt and then add the tights and leg warmers.
Something else that was really in during the 80's was the long sweaters with a wide belt. They were worn as a dress.
If you can't wear belly tops to school, wear a long, fitted t-shirt and a wide belt with the mini and tights and legwarmers or jeans and legwarmers. Running shoes will be ok with either outfit as that is what we wore most of the time.

OMG! You could totally recreate the Flashdance look. Take a old gray sweatshirt and cut the neck out of it to make it look more like a boatneck (maybe one shoulder falls off to be a little sexier). roll the sleeves up, cut off the band around the bottom to let it hang loose. You must have BIG hair and tie a bandanna as a headband (the tie has to be at the top of your head).
Wear the sweatshirt long enough to wear with your tights and leg warmers and throw on some tennis shoes and you have mastered the 80's look!

Wear leggings, leg heaters, and an extended (fairly lengthy) t-blouse with a belt over the blouse. Then put on a complete bunch of bangle bracelets, tremendous hoop jewelry, and a part ponytail. Neon colours are much more respectable. High-best footwear are a plus as good. I could keep at thrift retail outlets if I had been you, when you consider that you are going to now not desire to spend an excessive amount of for those style no-nos :-)

wear a short skirt with a cropped top that hangs off one shoulder.
Come on, 80's are everywhere! You are probably wearing 80's already and don't even know it.
The 80's are back it's time people start dressing up like the 90's!

yeah, a sweater that chops off the shoulder, a mini skirt fishnet, boots and neon leg warmers try to get bright colors!
