Check Out The Best 80s Party Outfits

Oh, the 1980s. It was a decade of broad shoulders, big eighties hairstyles, and all neon. It was also an era of major pop culture events, including the start of some of the biggest movie franchises, the birth of MTV, and the creation of some of the most extreme toys on the mass market.

So if you're looking for a 2021 Halloween costume, throw it 30 years or so and you've got a lot to choose from.

These 80s Halloween costumes celebrate some of the most enduring moments of the decade. Of course, you can always put on a neon costume and finish it off.

(Then again, some of those '80s outfits may not look so out of place today.) There are Halloween costumes inspired by some of the biggest movies, including Top Gun, Ghostbusters, and Indiana Jones, all with sequels planned for the near future.

Of course. You can also find clothing inspired by your favorite music video artists, from Whitney Houston to Madonna and Prince.

And there are those inexplicable '80s cultural artifacts, like Rubik's cubes, cuddly bears, and cassette tapes, that can never be forgotten.

Put them all together and you have a totally tubular Halloween.
