80s Fancy Dress Costumes

A few years ago the 1980s were a decade that people tried hard to forget. In the early nineties, had you suggested the idea of hosting an 80s party, you would have been laughed at. But now, years later, we look back on the 80s with a sense of nostalgia. 80s fashions have made a comeback. 80s trends are influencing today's clothes, music and styles. As a result, the 80s are cool again, and 80s fancy dress costume parties are becoming increasingly popular.

The 1980's is a great choice as a theme for a costume party because the 80s styles and fashions were so vibrant and bold, the music was so varied and the movies so memorable. When you are deciding on your 80s fancy dress costume, you will be spoilt for choice. Whether you decide to go for an 80s costume inspired by the music or movies of the time, or whether you go for a costume based on 80s trends, you should have no trouble putting together an eye-catching and original costume.

Here are some 80s costume ideas for you to think about before you decide which outfit to choose.

You could decide to go for one of the 80s fancy dress costumes inspired by the music of the period. The 80s was well known for its megastars, but it also gave rise to the birth of some interesting genres of music. The big stars, such as Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, would certainly lead to great 80s costumes, but there are other options. How about a new romantics (think Duran Duran, Adam Ant and Spandau Ballet) 80s fancy dress costume, or a costume inspired by the heavy metal bands of the 80s (Guns 'N' Roses, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake)?

The movies of the 80s could also inspire your 80's costume. How about a Karate Kid costume, or a Ghostbusters outfit, or Back to the Future fancy dress? Think carefully about the movies you enjoyed in the 80s - there are a lot of great ones that people seem to forget about. I've seen some fantastic Goonies fancy dress costumes and some brilliant Teen Wolf outfits, but these aren't the movies that first come to mind.

These ideas are just a starting point. Before you decide on your 80s costume, think really carefully. You want to end up with a costume that is both original and recognisable. Luckily, there is an almost endless list of great 80s fancy dress costumes to choose from.
