Back To The ‘80s, 3 Ideas For 1980s Fancy Dress
1.
Music
Every decade has a few genres of music that are associated with it. The
1980s saw the death of disco music and the emergence of dance music and new
wave. Additionally, rock music continued to attract a wide audience and in
the late ‘70s and early ‘80s the heavy metal scene reached mainstream, with
bands such as Iron Maiden becoming very popular in the new wave of British
heavy metal scene. However, as the ‘80s continued, newer styles of metal
boomed in popularity; styles which would later be known as glam metal and
hair metal, with acts such as Bon Jovi, Europe, Motley Crew, and of course
Guns N’ Roses.
However, pop and rock aren’t the only genres of music that existed in the
‘80s. Who can forget the outstanding rap songs that for many, defined the
decade. With Bust a Move Young MC, (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right Beastie
Boys, and lots more – this decade is arguably one of the best for musical
themed fancy dress; so many genres were popular you have such a diverse set
of costumes and styles to choose from.
Feeling like a bit of a rocker, how about a Fever 80's Rocker Diva Costume?
On the other hand, if you’d rather dance and sing “Let’s Get Physical”, we
have the perfect costume with the

2.
Film & TV
Whilst music might be one of the first things that comes to mind when
people think of the 1980s, film and television also had a massive impact on
culture and society during the decade. With films such as Back To The
Future, Ghostbusters, The Terminator, Blade Runner, Raiders of the Lost
Ark, Top Gun, and who could forget, The Empire Strikes Back, the star wars
film that many fans would argue, is the best of them all.
If you’re interested in a film & TV inspired costume, the Smiffys Fancy
Dress Shop online costume store has a fantastic selection of costumes to
choose from. You can browse fantastic fancy dress products such as a Sexy
Top Gun Costume, a Ladies Bananaman Costume, or for those who want to
unleash their inner princess, the
Secret Wishes Princess Leia Costume
.
3.
Fashion
The 1980s was a very interesting time for fashion. For many the ‘80s were a
decade filled with bold colours and of course the permed hair. However,
similar to music, there was not one supreme trend, a diverse range of
styles and fashions existed, ranging from ripped tights and leather, to
large oversized blazers; truly the ‘80s was arguably one of the most
eclectic decades in fashion in recent history.
So, with such an eclectic selection of fashion to choose from, you needn’t
look far for fancy dress inspiration. You could keep things simple with the
80's Party Girl Kit, or you could take things in a different direction with
a
Ladies Height of Fashion Shell Suit Costume
