White suit!

[Evocator]

You'd better watch you don't end up less Miami Vice and more Boss Hog

Does anyone know where i can get a white suit from. Wearing it to a party, Miami vice style, but would quite like to buy rather than hire. Obviously it will get destroyed, so as cheap as possible.....
Any clues would be much appreciated. I'm in bristol, so can't visit Zara, who apparently have them. Any clues? I am also well aware how nasty they are!

Have you tried charity shops? They always seem to have a nice line in 80's wear. My mates and I were having an 80's themed party and 4 of us got outfits for the huge sum of £20.

Ebay.. there were three for auction last week (I bought a tux off there over the weekend so was having a browse)

Evocator, unfortunately i am 21, so much of the Miami Vice-ness will go over my head! CHarity shop a good plan, i am 6'5" so it probably won't happen though! Ebay appear to have none at the moment

House of Fraser has one from its Linea brand. Bit pricey for a night's clobber though. Remember you can wear pale blue, pink or peach too. And don't forget to roll your sleeves up.

Try, dare I say it, Top Man. Cheap as the perverbial fried potatoes and I'd be surprised if they didn't do 'chav' white.

Remember you need the right shoes too!
Preferably made of straw.
And socks.
As in, none
Did we fcuck the Eighties.

In that case... just buy any old suit and bleach it.

There are white jackets for sale in H&M in the bristol town center. YOu might then be able to find a pair of white trousers to go with it, and being H&M it is of course cheap as chips.

If you want to look really Miami Vice, get yourself a pastel blue suit and wear a black open shirt with a medallion under it. Don't forget your white slip-on shoes and white socks!

No, no, no, you're all wrong; for Crockett, from the top down, it's:

Highlighted hair
Tan (probably fake...)
Ray bans - especially at night
Ice blue lightweight jacket - with the sleeves rolled back to mid forearm - worn over...
Salmon pink, three button, collarless t shirt
White linen trousers
White, rope soled, espadrilles*










* Do NOT stand in dog sh1t in these. It soaks through. To your foot...

... I used to dress like this in the mid 80s. And not as a joke...
