Angus Young AC/DC Schoolboy Costumes for Men

For those about to rock and get on the highway to hell, I'm going to show you how to become Angus McKinnon Young, the lead guitarist and songwriter in the Australian/Scottish rock band AC/DC. His schoolboy look became iconic during the 80s, and dressed as him, you will be instantly recognisable at any 80s event, and your outfit will definitely be a great conversation starter. There are two costumes available, and I'm going to start with the cheaper one - prices are subject to change so this may not be the cheaper option by the time you're reading this! The costume by Fun Shack comes in sizes medium, large or X-large and includes the red blazer, white shirt insert, blue shorts, blue cap and striped tie. Wear with some black shoes to complete your look. This item is currently being sold by Morph Costumes on Amazon, but the supplier could change, so please check when you're on the site. Now, you'll notice that the outfit is red and blue. Looking back through the archiv

Dress-Up as Del Boy and Rodney Trotter - 80s Fancy Dress Idea

Alright, Dave? Now here's a pukka idea! If you're a duo/couple looking for a great fancy dress idea for an 80s or TV themed event/party, then why not dress-up as the instantly recognisable Del Boy and Rodney Trotter from Only Fools and Horses - you know it makes sense! I will show you some low-cost clothing items that will allow you to create your own costume in a moment, but let's start with the official fancy dress costumes. The official Del Boy costume by Smiffys includes the iconic sheepskin coat with an Only Fools and Horses logo badge. Plus, a red polo neck style top, tweed style flat cap, fake cigar and necklace, everything you need to become Derek Trotter - lovely jubbly! Two adult sizes are available; 38-40 and 42-44. Just add some grey or brown trousers to complete your look. Disclosure: Links on this page will direct you to Amazon.co.uk. I earn a commission from qualifying purchases. Thanks for your support.

Frankie Say War Hide Yourself T-shirt

Anyone who lived through the 1980s, will certainly remember the iconic, Katharine Hamnett inspired Frankie Say slogan T-shirts, and also the two anti-war songs by the band " Two Tribes " and "War".  This was also the height of the original cold war era, when tensions between the Soviet Union and U.S. were at boiling point and the threat of nuclear Armageddon loomed over us. That officially ended on Dec 26th 1991, but now here we are almost four decades later in 2022, and we have a new Cold War situation to fret about. Whilst the Paul Morley designed "Frankie Say Relax" T-shirt was definitely the most popular choice (it's true to say that more of these T-shirts were sold than records!), there were two other official T-shirts by ZTT which included " Frankie Say War! Hide Yourself " and "Frankie Say Arm The Unemployed", which were both actually worn by Frankie Goes To Hollywood for some of their photoshoots back in 1984.  Here we are
