1980s Fancy Dress

[Elroy Blue]

I need to find somewhere that sells shirts/trousers as worn by the New Romantics of the 1980s. (I actually remember the originals!!)

Anybody got ant knowledge. I've done the usual searches of e-bay, but ideally some original stuff would be preferred.

Look towards the back of your wardrobe?

Aye, proper music in them days...

Attention smartarses.

You can all feck off. Right now.




Alright? Good. Carry on.

[Simpo Two]

[Justayellowbadge]

I was having the same theme for a party at the end of this month, sadly all of my dad's gear has long gone and charity shops had nothing suitable.

I've ended up adapting the theme to 1980's/The Business and found 80'sclassicclothing.co.uk and have stashed up on Sergio Tacchini and Fila so I will look like quite a .

Good luck

Ebay is packed full of pirate shirts. Not sure about high-waisted trousers though.

Ghostbusters never fails (says Simpo 1984) - all you need is a boiler suit, goggles, backpack made from cardboard boxes, vacuum cleaner hose, home-made badges, googles

Why not go as Elwood Blues? Could't be much simpler, or 1980's iconic!

Easy to fall into the trap of turning up like everyone else. Shouldn't be hard to sort out something like these.

Small insects that get pissed off when you tread on them. What do you want to know...?
