In the eighties my friends and I used to wear fred perry polo shirts and tank tops. Tiered ra-ra skirts and boob tubes were good for disco-ing. for older ladies there were jackets with massive shoulder pads a la Dynasty.

Yes Pam, But I'm male. It doesn't matter now anyways. I'm going as Adam Ant! Hooray!
ha ha *feels old at the 'what did they wear in the 80s' bit* For me it was a white sleeveless t-shirt with 'Relax' logo on front, black tank top, baggy jeans with the elasticated bottoms and zip pockets on the side and loafers. Of course with white socks or fluorescent socks (different colour for each foot) Haircut was a 'crew cut' grade 2 with daft long fringe.
sorry, forgot - burgundy sta-press trousers.
White shirts with ridiculously frilly lapels and sleeves, wide belts and baggy trousers with Pixie boots. My friend had loads of pixie boots and I used to think he was so cool!
Dont think of things they wore in 80's everyone will do that. Be different I went as a Rubiks cube to my 80's do
Red braces, hair gel, big phone.
Shoulder pads - free with all ladies tops & jackets !
Oh my God - I've just remembered my shoe lace thin greay leather tie!!

Shoes with side laces,
Canvas trousers,
and shame oh shame a bright green sweater with matching green socks!

And they say the seventies have a lot to answer for !
I had purple velvet pedal pushers - remember pedal pushers and there was the obvious leg warmers and big hair.
Sorry just read your post properly - you could still get away with the George Michael look - with the bright suit and hawaiian type shirt thing - WHAM were out in the 80's and make up on guys was still big with the New Ramntic thing still going on especially in DURAN DURAN.

You could have got away with the leotard, trousers and leg warmers but maybe that's a look you don't need or want
these were the days !!!!!! lol
