The 1980′s – When Rock Came of Age
If the 1950s was the decade when rock and roll was born, then the 1980s can be said to be the era when rock truly came of age! And with the advent of the music video, walkmen and cds rock truly began to take over the world. Of course all this is a boon for 1980s fancy dress, and with some of truly recognizable 80s rock and roll looks – why not rock out?
The 80s was known for all kind of rock music, each with their own distinct styles – it really is true to say that the 80s was a decade where style became as important to rock and roll as the music.
For example, the Gothic style with its truly unique fashions first appeared on the scene in the 80s, and it is a great template for a really individual kind of 1980s fancy dress. Unlike many other kinds of 1980s fancy dress outfits, the Gothic look can be fairly easily replicated, with, for example, the use of black eyeliner and leggings.
Whilst the Gothic look was a look for the introverted, the 80s was also a decade for the rock extrovert. If you really want to make an impact at a 1980s fancy dress parties then some choice mullet wigs and ripped jeans are a fabulous way to create truly edgy fancy dress costumes.
At Fancy Dress Ball we’ve got loads of eighties outfits and accessories which make achieving that 80s rock look a breeze.
