Like Totally 80's!

Tomorrow is the first showing of our school musical, Footloose. If you haven't seen this epic movie starring Kevin Bacon, you should probably check it out! Or come watch it being put on at W-O :) Whichever you choose, it's important to know that it's based in the wild 80's, the era of big hair and blinding colours. To honour the first showing of Footloose, we're having a themed dress up day at school. Everyone has the opportunity to wear 80's clothing to school.
In case there are people out there who are completely clueless to what was worn in those days, here are some handy tips that you can use when getting dressed tomorrow morning, or if you ever decide to dress up in 80's styles any other day.

This website is actually really helpful, if you don't get all that you need from this post:

First off, it's important to remember that more is better and the bigger, the better. Apparently people in this century were trying to "find themselves" through their fashion. What they wore was a way to express their creativity.
Some popular 80's fashions are listed below:
- oversized shirts
- leg warmers
- the preppy look
- 80's dresses
- sunglasses
- paint splatters
- chuck taylors
- acid wash denim
- jumpsuits
- knit ties
- neon
- jelly shoes
- parachute pants
- members only jackets
- the Madonna look
- friendship pins

And these are only a few of the trends from the 80's! There are so many more on the website above, including hair and makeup styles. Hope this helped, I know it helped me :)
