80s Dance Wear
Wow, in the 80s, we really started getting physical, and dance wear was worn as every day wear, and inter-matched.
Olivia Newton John was telling us to get Physical, Jane Fonda was creating new products called aerobic videos,and Reebok encouraged us to power walk to work after our aerobics class.
To kick off our inspiration, I have found this extended mix of Olivia Newton John's, Physical and it's great. I hope it get's you into the mood! Check out the head band and aerobic shoes.
So what sort of things could you wear to qualify for 80s dance wear? Try on some of these:
- Terry toweling headband
- High cut leotard
- High cut leotard with a contrasting belt
- Reebok white trainers, preferably high-cut
- Nike trainers - preferably high cut
- Visor hat - In the plastic style, or tennis style
- American baseball style hat
- Hair high in pony tail, with a scrunchie
- Hair in a french braid, with a scrunchie
- Short hair styled / blow waved with a V back
