The 80s were an era of excess and outrageousness. It was an era where bad hair and bad style coalesced for an unforgettable disaster in fashion. Relieve the 80s this Halloween with tons of options. Pay tribute to the King of Pop at his height, Aerosmith or Metallica through a number of retailers; or revisit the days of punk rock fandom, early hip-hop and more.

Punk Party Girls

80s party girls were known for their bright colors, in-your-face style and big hair. Revisit the days of cuteness gone wrong with the aid of blonde or bright multi-colored wig, fuchsia or pink hair ribbon, off the shoulder top, tutu, tights and slouch socks. For the most authentic look, go heavy on neon pink, electric blue, lime and purple. Great sources for 80s punk or party girls costumes include Party City, Costume Supercenter and Wholesale Costume Club.

Rock Stars

In the 80s, rock rang supreme. Pay tribute to the heavy metal gods with any number of costumes that feature big hair, animal print, tattered sleeves, a scarf and a splash of red. A guitar would clinch the look for this costume. Don't forget the makeup that earned these 80s bands the nickname "Glam Bands" as well as the wild look of the wig. The Heavy Metal Hero Costume and Mens Rock God Costume, offered at a number of Halloween costume retailers, pull off the ideal look, while any number of rocker wigs helps to complete it. Costume Discounters provides a great selection of 80s wigs.

Early Days of Rap

Hip-hop fans might want to remember the early days with costumes like the Mens Rap Idol Costume, reminiscent of an early LL Cool J, Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane and other pioneers of the genre. Others, seeking a more humorous look, might turn to the Mens 80s Video Superstar Costume, Mens Old School Rapper Costume or the Sleeveless Mesh Hip Hop top for a decidedly MC Hammer or Vanilla Ice Look. These costumes and more are available at a number of retailers, including Wholesale Costume Club, Costume Super Center and Costume Discounters. Early shoppers may have luck on EBay.
