So for all those ‘80s devotees out there, you may be wondering how to wrangle up an awesome costume for Halloween along with some great party ideas. Look no further. Kick back, pop in some Fear of Music by Talking Heads, and get ready for some Miami Vice coolness.

Why not start with the aforementioned show? An linen jacket, loafers, a two-day beard and of course a pastel shirt and you’ve got a shockingly-accurate Sonny Crockett costume! Or if you want to go the more virtuous route (or just avoid pastels entirely).

Who isn’t a fan of the ’80 tennis star? No sweat—just throw on a headband, painfully-tight shorts and white shirt, a pair of white Adidas sneakers and a wooden racket and you’ve got the sports hero look down!

Stopping in Beverly Hills may bring back memories of one of the best ‘80s films of all time, but it won’t get you an Axel Foley costume. Where to get that Mumford Phys. Ed Department shirt? Try your local thrift store.

While the Madonna look may be slightly overplayed, you can’t go wrong with classic Devo.
Hopefully this helps. Remember, imagination is the only limit and fun the only objective.
