'Miami Vice' fancy dress theme on the sunday...

Is this still the script for the last day? Should make for some interesting sights I get to break out the 80's yuppie clobber

It may be OK for guys but is rubbish for girls. Unfortunately 80's stuff is back in fashion so you won't even be able to tell who is in fancy dress. I don't even remember there being many girls in Miami Vice anyway.

That's not true! There are loads of female characters. 'Dynasty' is another good template.


Some ideas..

big hair
pastels
swimwear
high heals
shoulder pads
fake jewellry
sunglasses
bikinis
loud tasteless colours
leopard print
gold
rank trouser suits
hotpants
lots of make-up

I need help on my costume haha

Im a male, Although didnt grown up in the 80's period (18 years old)

Only things I come up with on google is the bait miami vice suits, Which aint very fun.

Only thing I have so far I could wear are my wayfarer sun glasses lol

THINK POWER!

OK, Maybe it is doable but I can assure you that bikinis and very high heels are defo out - I do like to be able to dance..

80's stuff is in fashion though and things like the bold colours and costume jewellry are what you see in Top Shop etc anyway.

Anyway, I'll give it my best shot

I've never even seen miami vice :S I was 3 when the 80's ended, the only thing I was watching was sesame street...

in fairness u don't have to be exactly from miami vice.. just use the idea as a springboard to something else

i'm going to dodge the whole disco/detective look and heading for more of a danny laRusso look

I've already my uniform

La Coste tshirt blue pastel
Grey linen pants
white yacht jacket
yacht shoes
and naturally rayban wayfarer

A Dallas barn dance on Saturday anyone?

Hehe, I'm going along those lines too.
Prob the Colombians from Scarface.

1. Hawaian shirt
2. White/pastel slacks
3. Loafers
4. Big Glasses
5. Possibly trim my beard down to leave a big 'tache and chops.
6. Brandy on the rocks

If anyone is interested in either of these I will stick one of them back on eBay:

1980's GREY WOOL JACKET BLAZER SMALL


MENS 80's LIGHT BLUE 2-PIECE RETRO SUIT SMALL 36" R


Basically, I went a bit too far!
