I’ve always been fascinated by the 80s, especially the music and dance scene. That whole breakdancing thing, with the crazy moves and the flashy outfits, it’s just so cool! I decided, what the heck, I’m gonna try to put together an 80s breakdance outfit myself. It’s for this themed party I got invited to, and I wanna do it right, you know?
First, I did some digging online. Just typed in “80s breakdance outfit” and scrolled through a ton of pictures. Man, those guys back then had style! Baggy pants, colorful shirts, and all sorts of accessories. I needed to find some similar stuff.
My Shopping Trip
I hit up a few thrift stores first. No luck with the really baggy stuff, but I found a bright yellow t-shirt and an old-school denim jacket. The jacket was a bit worn out, but hey, that’s the 80s vibe, right? I also snagged a pair of black sweatpants, they weren’t exactly parachute pants, but they were loose enough to move in.
Putting it Together
- Started with the yellow t-shirt as the base. It’s bright, it’s loud, it’s perfect.
- Threw on the denim jacket over it. Rolled up the sleeves a bit to make it look more casual.
- Slipped into the black sweatpants. They’re comfy and they let me do all sorts of moves without feeling restricted.
Accessories are Key
I remembered seeing a lot of breakdancers with headbands and wristbands. I didn’t find any at the thrift store, so I just grabbed some old fabric scraps at home and fashioned my own. A red headband and some white wristbands, tied them on, and boom, instant 80s flair. I also borrowed a pair of my dad’s old sunglasses, the kind with the thick frames, you know? They really completed the look.
I tried the whole outfit on and started practicing some moves in front of the mirror. I gotta say, I felt like a real b-boy! I managed to pull off a few basic steps, nothing too fancy, but it was fun. I can’t wait to show off my outfit and my moves at the party. It’s gonna be a blast from the past, and I’m ready to rock it!
