Add a pair of leg warmers in a bright color, and then layer on as much neon as you like. Try a colorful scarf, some neon jewelry, or a bright headband. Finish the look with a pair of sneakers.
The 80s Jock
For a classic 80s jock look, try a brightly colored tracksuit. Look for one with bold stripes or a bright color. Add a pair of white sneakers and a headband, and you're good to go. If you want to up the jock factor, add a whistle around your neck and a sweatband on your wrist.
The 80s Diva
If you want to go for a more glamorous look, try a DIY 80s diva costume. Start with a sequin dress or a pair of leggings and a colorful top. Add some statement jewelry and a pair of chunky heels. Then, pull your hair back into a sleek high ponytail and add a bright headband. Finally, don't forget your bright pink lipstick!
80s Rocker
For the rocker look, start with a pair of ripped jeans and a plain t-shirt or tank top. Add a leather jacket or a denim vest and a bandana. Accessorize with some chunky jewelry and combat boots. If you want to add a bit of flair, grab an old guitar and carry it around with you at the party.
