The clothes of the 80s . To mentally give you a quick idea of ​​what fashion was like in the 80's, we're going to remind you of the Flashdance movie, remember? The style that the protagonist shows throughout the film is 100% 80s. And how is it? Well curled hair, jackets with shoulder pads, skinny pants and a somewhat rocky aesthetic.

To make a costume suitable for a party of the 80s you can choose two aspects:

  • Punk-rock style : tutu skirts combined with leggins of strident colors, half torn tees and fluorine colors. The clothes that the youngest Madonna wore in her films and concerts is the one that would most define this breakthrough style of the eighties
  • Aerobics style : this time was also the decade of aerobics, so you can equip yourself with a fluorine-colored jersey, warmers, leggings and a hair band. Totally eighties!
  • Costumes for men : they wore jackets with shoulder pads, casual hairstyles, colorful clothes and funny prints.

In this article we tell you in detail how to make a disguise of the 80s.

Another important aspect when it comes to organizing a party of the 80s is the decoration . Keep in mind that this was a decade of splendor, freedom and music, so the space in which you make the celebration has to be full of bright and cheerful colors. As we have already said, the fluorine tones were the kings of these years, so we recommend that you get different balloons of these colors and put them around the room. You can also choose to add colorful garlands on the ceiling for a more festive touch.

A very original point that you can add to your celebration is to hang on the walls elements that remind those years: posters of films like ET, Flashdance, Back to the future, and so on. You can also choose to hang vinyl from the artists of that time like Madonna, Michael Jackson, David Bowie or The Police.

You can also get colorful lamps with mirrors that will fill the track with colorful flashes, just like in the Saturday Night Fever movie when Travolta went out to the dance floor. A good idea for the decoration of your party is that you also put in the space typical objects of the time like the walkmans, the cassette tapes or the rubicub .

But what can not be missing in a party of the 80s is music . The costumes or the decoration will not do anything but make the soundtrack that accompanies us be that music so typical of the decade. In addition, we also recommend that you equip an area of ​​the room as a dance floor, for surely people will go dancing!

A good idea is to add a disco ball in the center of the track to give it, even more, that special and authentic touch.

Some of the songs of the 80 that can not be missing in your playlist are:

  • 99 Luftballoons de Nena
  • Thriller and Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
  • Final Countdown of Europe
  • Bohemian Rhapsody and I want to break free of Queen
  • The Tide is High of Blondie
  • Into the Groove by Madonna
  • Money for Nothing by Dire Straits
  • Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
  • Do not Stand So Close To Me by The Police
