A Decade Of Party Fun
People usually think of the 1960s when they consider the ultimate party decade, but it was only in the 1980s when parties really reached their apex – why? Well with the most flamboyant fashions, and most memorable party anthems, the 1980s truly was a decade of party fun.
The 1980s was particularly memorable because it was so bright. With Day-Glo and florescent fashion at the heart of 80’s style, this means that for 80s costumes you need to ratchet up the bright colours to the max for an authentic fancy dress costume. For example, you could embellish your 80s costumes with some shocking pink jewellery or some neon leg warmers.
The 1980s was a decade of excess, and this means the fashion too! Therefore with 80s costumes you should dress to high excess. For example, you should definitely go overboard with the jewellery and accessories wherever possible to achieve that overdone 80′s look.
The challenge with 1980s fancy dress is that there are just so many options, so choosing accessories can be a little daunting. With this in mind, choosing an 80s theme is a particularly good idea as not only will it help you to choose a fancy dress costume, but it will also help with the choice of music and decor for the party venue itself.
A Madonna costume, for example – whilst giving you plenty of style templates and a whole library of classic party anthems – will also afford you plenty of options – from material girl Madonna to vogue Madonna.
