    Wear flares, red hair, and your heart on your sleeve.

    No wait, wrong decade.

    Shoulderpads, I assume. In case... well in case your shoulders need to barge...

    80's party...... simple. White suit over a pastel coloured t-shirt, sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Don't shave for a couple of days. You can see where I'm going with this, can't you? ;)

    As for what to bring to the party, well, how about a Ferrari Testarossa? If you can somehow manage to get your hands on one of those and pull up outside the party in that, I think that should complete the look! :D

    Ah yes, almost forgot those, Razormac! Just as well you mentioned them.

    Oh, and a pair of big 80's-style sunglasses as well. And if you have a black friend who's willing to dress up similarly and go along with you, all the better! ;):D

    A pencil thin leather tie with a keyboard design down one side is an absolute necessity.

    A mate of mine went to a fancy dress party dressed as Zack Morris (from Saved by the Bell, if you're wondering) and made an eighties mobile phone out of a polystyrene takeaway carton covered in black electrical tape - it looked great!
