What to Wear to an 80s Party

Like, do you totally like need to know what to wear to an 80s party? Like, we totally like have you covered. 

Was that enough "likes" for you?? Hee.

Ok, let's start with the kind of 80s party you're going to. If it's a general party, you've got a lot of leeway. If it is a specific theme party, you should stick to the theme and look for a theme costume.

General Outfits for 80s Parties

The 80s were all about being big and bold. From big hair to neon colors to Madonna's cones, everything stood out. Keep that in mind when you're thinking of what to wear.

Visuals always help me with what to wear to an 80s party so here are some of my fav 80s party pics from my parties and around the web.

80s Party Outfits

This was my friend Anita's 30th birthday party - notice how we all have side ponytails? Ha! Crimped hair was all the rage in the 80s. Gotta love that. Velvet and one-shoulder were also big in the 80s. And do I spy puffy paint and jelly bracelets??


What to Wear to an 80s Party

I'm LOVING the splatter paint dress and the black lace fingerless gloves with a bright red dress. Our man is styling classic 80s shades and jacket. Also, in the background, check out the bright blue skirt on the left and the headband in the back. Classic.

How Do I Dress for an 80s Party?

Let's let Lisa Lisa answer . . .  Ohhh, baby, I think I love you from head to toe! Yep, those are my feet in the checkered socks and tight rolled jeans. Anita rocked the pink fishnets, anklets, and hot pink slingbacks. Ah, the 80s. Does it get any better?
