The 1980′s – Age of the Sci-Fi Costume
The 1980′s was an age of truly great sci-fi, whether it’s Wonder Woman, the Star Trek movies or Knightrider, and all this is rich picking for 80′s fancy dress costumes. So, why not make an impact at you next fancy dress party with a sci-fi inspired costume?
Sci-fi costumes are perhaps not the coolest of 80′s costumes – or so you might think! Today, geek chic really is considered the cutting edge of cool – or to put it another way, the geeks have really inherited the world.
With this in mind, approaching an 80′s fancy dress costume from a geeky angle is a great way to create a look that will really stand out at a fancy dress party. You’ll also have a lot of fun dressing as you favourite sci-fi heroes.
There are two ways to approach your sci-fi inspired 80′s costumes. Either you could go down the obvious route and imitate those characters that everyone will recognize, or you could go down the geeky and proud route and imitate lesser known characters. Of course, your decision will depend on your 80′s fancy dress party, and how likely it is that your fellow party goers will appreciate your costume. However, if you get it right, you’re sure to make an impact on your fellow guests!
At Fancy Dress Ball we’ve got a selection of great sci-fi 80′s costumes, such as an 80′s She-Ra Costume from He-Man costume and a Flash Gordon Dale Costume.
