Stiles from Teen Wolf 80s Costume
Everyone needs a sidekick, and Scott’s sidekick in Teen Wolf, Rupert “Stiles” Stilinski, is a classic. He’s got the verve to help Scott Howard (played by Michael J. Fox) make the most of his new-found wolfiness. His personal style and mannerisms make a fun and over the top costume for your next 80s party or Halloween. Just be careful when you hit the roof to go “Surfin USA.” This 1985 cinematic treasure doesn’t get the props it...
Chris Knight of Real Genius 80s Costume Idea
The good folks at Found Item Clothing developed this costume, and we are sure glad they did. 1985’s “Real Genius” was a great movie.

Val Kilmer is a pleasure even if he had the IQ of a door, but make him a...
80s Marty McFly Costume from Back to the Future

This classic 80s movie character makes the perfect costume because it is easily identifiable and easy to pull together with things you likely already have. The key to the Marty McFly look is the layering of the top pieces – 4 layers by our count! So, rev up the flux...
Simply Irresistible: Robert Palmer Video Girl Costume
This is a great 80s costume either alone or as a group. Robert Palmer’s 1988 song hit #2 on the singles chart and is fun today as it was then. This costume is easy to pull together, using wardrobe basics that you might already have – little black dress and black heels. You’ll need the orange sash to make it authentic so we’ve included a link below for that. And, really, who doesn’t want to be simply irresistible? Bring a guy into the...
80s Jem Costume
What could be more fun than the hair and makeup associated with this classic 80s cartoon character? Jem and the Holograms ran from 1985 to 1988 and centered around music company owner Jerrica Benton and her band the Holograms. Of course, Jem was her alter-ego (using her holographic computer, Synergy) and a cool one at that! BTW, does anyone else think that the whole Hannah Montana thing might be just a smidge derivative? Jem is a fun...
