80′s Fancy Dress For Men

Posted on June 28, 2010 by admin

If you are a manly type of guy with an invite to an 80′s fancy dress party, but aren’t thrilled at the thought of dressing up in 80′s costumes such as Boy George or Adam Ant, then help is at hand.  Back in the 80′s, heavy metal music was massive and bands like Iron Maiden, AC/DC and Metallica were worshipped. With their rough look and macho pomp, these bands revolutionised the way that musicians performed.  No other metal icon of the 80’s encapsulated this image better than the legend that was Guns N’ Roses front man, Axl Rose.

Axl is a great choice when it comes to 1980′s costumes as his look is simple to imitate. First off, you will need a brown coloured 80′s wig that is long and straight. You will also need to get hold of a bandana which must be tied around your head with some shades on top of it. Combine this small effort with a black leather jacket, some tight black jeans and bouts of spontaneous havoc and your transformation into Metal God is complete.

Another 80′s fancy dress option is that of GNR’s super-cool guitarist, Slash. All that’s needed are black leather pants, a long black curly wig, some mirrored shades and the trademark top hat. Throw in a blow-up guitar and this look will guarantee that you have instant recognition as an 80′s rock star in your fancy dress costumes.
