Create a costume using items you have at home. Cut up a tight T-shirt and layer it with a camisole. For men, an old leather jacket can work with a tight shirt, jeans and large sunglasses. Women can put their hair up with any funky old hair ties and use any garish makeup available. Drink mix works as a temporary hair dye and will add the bright colors popular in the 80s.
