Attire: 
The 1980s was a decade known for bold fashion choices, a mix of glam, neon, and punk, and an overall larger-than-life style. Whether you're into the rebellious spirit of rock 'n' roll or the glam of Hollywood, there’s a lot to draw inspiration from for an 80s-themed fundraiser.

Here are some key fashion trends to consider when preparing for the event:
  • Neon Colors and Bright Hues: Neon pinks, greens, oranges, and yellows were everywhere in the 80s.
  •  Big Hair & Volume: Hairstyles in the 80s were all about volume. Mullet haircuts, big curls, or crimped hair were on trend for both men and women.
  • Leather Jackets and Denim: Iconic 80s fashion often involved denim jackets, ripped jeans, or acid-wash jeans paired with leather jackets.
  • Leg Warmers and Spandex: Inspired by the popularity of aerobic exercise and dance, spandex and leg warmers became everyday wear.
  • Graphic Tees and Band Shirts: Band t-shirts were all the rage in the 80s, especially for music lovers.
  • Accessories Galore: Accessories were big in the 80s, so feel free to go all out!
  • Bold Makeup: 80s makeup was all about bright eyeshadows, heavy eyeliner, and bold blush for all. 
  • Rock ‘n’ Roll / Punk Influence: For a more edgy 80s look, you can channel the punk rock influence by adding studs, chains, and leather into your outfit. 
Lastly, make sure you bring your best "I love the 80s" attitude—whether you want to channel the boldness of Madonna, the rebellious rock look of Joan Jett, or the glam of the rich and famous from the era, you’ll be ready to make a statement.
And of course, be sure to get ready to rock for a great cause.
