We had an 80's party back in rez in Medicine Hat, we all hit up Value Village and came out with some pretty good stuff.

The Don Johnson look is a pretty good 80s outfit.

You should give us ideas about what you look like to recommend the proper 80s look.

It depends upon which 80s look you want.
Watch "The Wedding Singer" or the original series Miami Vice for some ideas. That is probably the iconic "80s" look
Or you can find a Lacoste tennis shirt (with the alligator logo on the breast) in a pastel colour and turn up the collar for the preppie look.

Don't forget to use mousse in your hair. (Assuming you still have hair.) Then blow dry it.

Yup. That's what I was going to say. Pink shirt, white jacket, big sunglasses you're set.

Find a pair of Chuck's and the ugliest, loudest pair of bermuda shorts you can get your hands on.

Also - no belt, loafers with no socks.
Or you could dress New Wave, that's always fun.

How about a Vaurnet t-shirt, a swatch, an old big yellow sports walkman, oakley 'blade' sunglasses, the ribbon tie...and if you are still stuck for ideas see if you can find an episode of Soultrain on Youtube, its pure 80's gold

do the tight rollover on the jean cuff (the one where you fold it and roll it). For max snug effect, use a safety pin. A white pair of Sperry docksiders work well with this type of style.

If you want to do it with the least effort possible. Just wear a RELAX t-shirt. You know, if you really want to get it to it.
