Any ideas for 80s dress up theme for my 8 year old ds?

[cheekymonk]

Don't know why school have chosen this- the 80s mean nothing to our kids. Have come up with ghostbuster, michael jackson's thriller so far but he is not keen? any other ideas would be gratefully received!

I would scour the internet for deely-boppers & jelly shoes

And maybe a pair of peddle pushers!

Adam ant? Highwayman style (handy iefyou have a pirate costume already, just add white stripe on nose)

Boy George?

R u in Yorkshire ? Ours has too ...... Best I've come up with is Mario (first time round) but ds not keen !

punk rocker ? ( early 80s, but still he might go for it ? !)

Bros-style double denim and gelled, slick hair?

Neon colours and spiked up hair? Tennis outfit and curly wig (McEnroe)? Pinstriped suit with comedy shoulder pads, briefcase and joke mobile phone made from a shoebox?

power rangers? rainbow?

leg warmers and leotard (if she does ballet, you're laughing at this one)

Its a Boy not sure leg warmers will go down well...

Choose life t-shirt, white trousers a d espadrilles. Wham style.

Relax T-shirt, jeans and neon socks.

Some great ideas thank you! my son wants as low key as poss and likes piprabbits idea best so far. Thanks again!

A Team? Indiana Jones? Something from Return of the Jedi ('83)

Miami Vice - rolled up shirt & jacket Sleeves?
Or American college style jacket - tee wolf ( was that 80's)

Ooh, Grange Hill!
