Ensemble Costumes For Men With 80s Outfits
Doing a themed costume with friends or family is a great way get noticed and have fun. When a small group dresses up together, it is memorable - particularly when it involves 80s outfits and iconic television shows from this decade. These are the events that party-goers reminisce about months and years later, and it's not just the women that get all of the fun. Here are three easily recognizable ideas for men from some popular television shows of that time:
1. The A-Team included four men with distinctive attire and attitude. Hannibal, Face, Murdock, and B.A. (played by Mr. T). Hannibal usually wore a button-up shirt under a lightweight tan coat and held a cigar. Face was the dreamboat with feathered hair who charmed all the ladies. Murdock wore a baseball cap, leather jacket, and khakis; he was also certifiably crazy. And B.A. had the Mohawk, gold jewelry, and muscular arms and chest. This is a great choice if you and your buddies are willing to get into character.
2. Another iconic TV show from the eighties was The Dukes of Hazzard. Although the men didn't wear too much that could be considered exclusively 80's Outfits, Daisy Duke was definitely a trendsetter all by herself. With her tight jeans or short-shorts and buttoned shirts tied up at the midriff, she had women all over the country trying to imitate her. Fortunately, most of the regular cast members were men who didn't wear skimpy clothes. Bo and Luke Duke wore buttoned shirts and jeans, Uncle Jesse wore overalls, Roscoe wore sheriff blue, and Boss Hogg wore his pristine white suits. And, of course, everyone wore cowboy hats and boots. If you have a female friend willing to join your group as Daisy, this is an excellent option.
3. Perhaps your "group" just has two people. If so, that's no problem! Everyone recognizes the two detectives from Miami Vice. With unbuttoned blazers, light colored slacks, and loafers without socks, putting this ensemble together will be a breeze. Throw in a pastel t-shirt and sunglasses for good measure, and it will be perfect.
