BREAKFAST CLUB RETURNS (Boys only!)

Welcome to the age of rock stars, big hair, and tight pants . . . where you party all night, and sleep all day. 1980s, THE decade. Step back in time with us and use our five easy steps to moonwalk down memory lane.

Step 1 Shirt

Depending on where you are going, ditch your brand name gear and grab your 1981 Journey: Live in Houston shirt, jersey style with 3/4 inch black sleeves.

Concert tees are best - do your homework and make sure you get the right band ( e.g. Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, etc.).

Don't let yourself get caught in the cold without a leather and/or MEMBERS ONLY jacket.

Old sport coats, with the sleeves rolled up, with a plain white dress shirt can add just the right flavor to your party outfit.

The 80's makes me want to vomit. Huge plastic hoop earrings, square cars, green eye-shadow, panpipes, women with flat-top haircuts, hot pink, jade green, florescent clothing, gratuitous use of synthesizers, shoulder pads, perms, fringes, Malcolm Douglas, head/wrist/ankle bands, 90% of 80's music, Grease, Chernobyl, Madonna, Pintos, John Farnham, hair metal, crimped hair and pastel-anything are things to avoid.

i know i'm late... but you forgot to mention the synth-tar. now, THAT is a terrible demon born of the 80's.

Know what's really scary about all this? I still have all those clothes currently in my closet including the acid washed 501's, vans and at least two Swatches. I also have the same pair of 501's that I wore to my 1985 high school graduation. ugh, I feel old ;/

I still have an acid washed TRENCHCOAT! I gave all my swatches to my old girlfriends. I gave my Skynyrd, Doors, Dylan, and Sid Vicious shirts to my kid. But I still rock the 501's, canvas Converse high tops, and suit jacket (pointy lapels) with t-shirt occasionally.... but usually it's overalls and Muckboots these days.

if this is "boys only", why is the side-ponytail thing suggested? imagine the poor misled son of the 90's at his first 80's themed school dance wondering why everyone keeps calling him "material girl"...

Hi Step 6 : You should write words properly secially if they are not words from your country !! ;) The right word is not VIOLA but VOILA (it is a french word) :)

[Clock72]

Actually...somewhere in the late 80s, Jason Bateman, as David Hogan in The Hogan Family, said VIOLA! instead of VOILÀ! so it's really kind of fitting that tshields said it that way :)

[alexsolex]

lol I should write english properly as well.... (add a "p" in the word "s_ecially") :p )

Where's the elbow patches on the blazer? Personally, I think if you are going to pick up an 80's babe, you need a bit of plaid.

[canida]

I'd recommend a polo shirt with the collar flipped up under the blazer- while the tie is nice, the polo/blazer combo is pretty sweet too. Add some purple lip gloss for that Duran Duran look.

It's funny because I just watched Breakfast Club in psychology. We were learning about "the signs of adolescence".
