what did people wear in the 80's? their is a "spirit day" on friday and we are supposed to dress up like someone from the 80's. what did you wear to school on a typical day back then?
Whatever three or four year-olds tended to wear, I suppose.
Generally, the following should be acceptable (and pretty easy to come by, for the most part; no weird hairstyles or cultural specifics required):
Really tight, light-shade jeans
Red sneakers with white socks
A colourful sweatshirt
Any haircut - at all - that would be considered dorky today (just muss it up too much, or keep it perfectly combed, or something)
Huge sunglasses that are nonetheless plausible
Or, if you wanted to be awesome:
Leather boots or high-top sneakers
Ultra-colourful parachute pants that nevertheless allow you to show (white) sock
Loose, colourful, long-sleeved jersey-style shirt
Giant chain with a clock on it
Huge sunglasses that are nonetheless plausible
Gold fist-bands, one to each hand, with "LOVE" and "HATE" on them, respectively
A mile-high
That is, if you wanted to be awesome.

- Liberty Spikes
- Green hair for the Liberty spikes
- Short and tight pants
- Boots or some footwear such as Doc Martin boots
- Tight/small shirt with some rips and safety pins on it. (try to make it a 80s punk band also such as Dead Kennedys, Descendents, Vandals, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Adolescents, etc.)
yeah - obviously I disagree with you, John. Spam Warning!.....Amazing - even in a forum where posts don't count, there's spam. That proves that getting rid of the post-count won't help getting rid of spam! Thans for this excellent example! - Craven

School uniform. Grey trousers, grey V-neck jumper, white shirt (no tie, thank God).
Outside school, though, I wore what I've pretty much worn for the last 15 or 20 years - black jeans, black tee (get an 80's rock band tee if you can), trainers.
Failing that, Goth was big. This is your big chance to PO modern Goths - many of whom don't own "Killing an Arab" and haven't made even one serious suicide attempt.
Boooo! Hisssss! I haven´t tried any real suicide attempt. :/ Guess I am a poseur now.
More ideas: Watch Lost Boys, Breakfast club and maybe Back to the Future. Wear a blue jean jacket. But most of all: Accesorize!
- Lots and lots of buttons!
- Those fuzzy cloth hairbands and armbands against sweating.
- Neon bodywarmer
- Rollerscates
- A sony walkman (those big, bulky tapeeating pre-mp3 player thingies)
- One of those fuzzy cloth headbands with a trancelucent neon anti-sun cap on it.
- A jojo.
- loads of pink bubblegum.

Failing that, don't bother. School spirit days are stupid. Dress up like a 17th-century noble just to make them ask questions. Or screw clothes. Go naked.

I remember back in the 80's girls used to wear ponytails that went off the side of their head instead of the back.

Evil is boring. The universe is friendly. Life is on your side. Joy is your birthright. Cynicism is idiotic. Fear is a bad habit. Despair is lazy. In fact, all of creation wants you to succeed. Act as if the universe is a prodigious miracle created for your amusement and illumination. Assume that secret helpers are working behind the scenes to assist you in turning into the gorgeous masterpiece you were born to be. . . Life always gives you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.
Hehe. Scrunchies, overly pink and blue makeup, really bright pink and orangey nail polish, SPANDEX, those slap-on wristband, friendship braceletes, huge dangling earrings, bowties, suspenders, pants that ended right at the ankles (nowadays called floods), tucking your pants and rolling them, rolling and knotting your shoelaces so you didn't have to tie them... what else do I remember... crimping your hair...
Plus you can go to http://www.ebay.com to check out all the other vintage garbage they have from that era. May they never bring that timeline back again!
If you can find one, you must carry a Trapper Keeper. Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about.
If you can find Garbage Pail Kids stickers, Scratch n' Sniff stickers, any kind of 1980s cartoon stickers, and/or Garfield stickers, be sure to put these on your Trapper Keeper.
thanks:)
