80’s Party Costumes - Power Dressing Is The Key
While selecting 80’s party costumes, the key thing to remember is that everything has to be in excess. The 80’s is often called the greed decade, when people used to indulge themselves. This showed in their dressing sense too, thus costumes of this decade should have abundance, color and volume. The extra bracelet or extra layer of pink eye-liner will look just fine and the the More, The Better

This decade was full of pop culture and the start of the music television channel MTV. Thus TV had great influence on people’s style of dressing. You could go for the Madonna style white and black lace dress (for girls) or pastel colored jackets (for guys), all rolled up to the elbows. Leg warmers, shoulder pads and members-only jackets were popular in those times. You can create the 80’s party costumes using these.

The perfect accessories for 80’s party costumes include Rayban sunglasses, heavy metal rocker bandanas, bracelets, spiked belts, and Swatch watches. Women should wear lots of heavy make-up, a bright lip color, strong perfume and high heels combined with skirt or pant suits. For guys, silk shirts, tight black jeans and big shades will create the 80’s party costumes. You can also combine it with colored shirts with white collars, shiny silk ties and pointed flat dress shoes. You can never be out of place if you dress like icons, for example, Madonna, Miami Vice, Cyndi Lauper or the punk rockers.

The 70’s party costumes are mostly stylish, colorful and going with the disco culture of the times. Especially women dresses should be very bold and well cut. From itsy-bitsy mini skirts to long maxi dresses and evening trousers; you can choose the costume that you are comfortable carrying off.
