60's 70's 80's Costume

I have a fancy dress party to go to in a couple of weeks, need some ideas for it. I dont want to go as the usual hippy/elvis/austin powers etc. Had a couple of ideas so far, Top Gun, Clyde (Bonnie & Clyde), Sunny

Anybody have some ideas

Go as this dude from chips:

Ohh yeah!

Just watch some classics such as the original gone in 60 seconds, loads of great outfits in those beauties

Go as the Hoff :cool:

You'll need to bring a big stick though to fight off all the women who will inevitably throw themselves on/at/through you.

For my mums 40th she had a 60s theme night. My dad had an excellent beetles costume complete with wig. Maybe that kind of thing would do?

Id say stay away from the beetles, too cliche.

One word: Bowie

_-J-_ · 11 Mar 2006 at 01:25

Was thinking Beatles but goin with a female (mate) which wouldnt work. Bowie was sugested but seemed too wierd.

Thats cool but i want something different or original, thats why i said no austin powers etc

Missed that. There's always Wham!

Just stubble and a stupid coloured suit. Remember to roll your suit sleeves up

I'm going to an 80's themed party tonight. Still no idea what i'm wearing. I'm thinking of going as Tony Montana aka Scarface. But iirc although being made in the 80's, it was set in the 70's wasn't it?

Scarface was set in the early eighties.
