Alright, this may seem like an odd request but...

This week is "Spirit Week" at my High School and we are supposed to dress up in a different theme every day. Tomorrow (Thursday) is "Throwback Thursday"... we are supposed to dress in styles from the 50s-80s.. I was thinking of doing 80s... I don't have much clothes to choose from though... I have jeans, polo shirts, and T shirts... with just regular Reebok sneakers.. nothing 80s-ish.... is there anyone here who can help me??

Cut some big ass holes in your jeans, knee hole jeans.

Errr... how tight can you wear a t-shirt? I'm thinking the sleaze motley crue look.

I don't have very tight T shirts

Got any younger siblings?

3 Vital Things Needed For The Proper '80s Styled Look:

1. Glow Bracelets (Guys wore them, too...trust me)
2. Any T-Shirt with an '80s band On It (If no '80s Bands, any will do just fine)
3. The Mullet Hairstyle, or a feathered back Pompadour

If I were you I would get ahold of a copy of "The Preppy Handbook"  if you're of the "pycho-prep" persuasion.  Davey's suggestion was quite appropriate.  (You forgot to mention the leather jacket with the fringes ;))  GOOD LUCK! :)

And the faux snakeskin boots.

Oh yes, how could I have forgotten those?  And the one dangling earring. :)

Right, plus the black plastic crappy looking sunglasses.

Of course.  And we must not forget the ever popular bandanna around the leg.  :)

Or, if you're the "preppy" type, you need the obligatory funky suit jacket, metallic colored shirt, and skinny piano-print tie, along with a pair of Vans with the small hole in the toe.

If he's going "Preppy".  I was thinking a white oxford, one of those thin ties (losely tied, of course) jeans and eithers Vans or Converse. :) 8)

You're both wrong...guys gotta have polos (layered in pastel colors)with the collars turned up.  Pleated front chinos.  Penny loafer or deck shoes.  If you've got a navy sweater, tie it around your neck.

OMG you are such a "Prep"!!!  Don't forget the Swatch!! :)

It would be a good idea to wear a Swatch.

A bif top with shoulder pads and/or/falling off one shoulder,leggings,jelly shoes,big teased hair with a butterfly clip,headband,big earrings and other jewelry,wide belt,lots of makeup,fingerless gloves,and leg warmers.

Most of that stuff should either be pastels of fluorescent colors. ;)

get an oversized sweatshirt preferably in a dayglo color like lime or fuschia or orange, and tear out the collar and cut it so that the shoulders hang off your shoulders ala flash dance... a muscle tank top under the sweatshirt in a contrasting color but also dayglo or else plain white or black. black leggings with some sort of scrunchy socks in flourescent colors. and white keds tennis shoes..with flourescent laces. rat your hair and tie some torn up lace doilies in it.

if you're a guy.. get some tight 501 Levis button fly jeans. faded or acid washed...  with some holes in the knees.. a rock tshirt ala Motley Crue, Scorpions, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, with a plaid flannel button down shirt unbuttoned of course, and some 'shi tkicker' boots or Nike Leather cortez tennis shoes. a black leather biker jacket a dangly cross earring, and rat your hair so that it has that big 80's hairband look to it.

And the faux snakeskin boots.

or boots with fringes too.
