Turn Back Time…relive the 1980's in 2018

You know you want to relive the 80s or live them for the very first time. The ‘80s was a decade of bold style, colors, and silhouettes. The trends spanned fluro colours, footless tights, big hair, perms and mullets, and rocker wigs.

CrackerJack Costumes is giving you the chance to relive one of the most amazing decades for music, fashion and culture. Have a great time dressing up in something in CrackerJack’s large range of 1980’s themed wear.

You could dressed up as the ever-popular ‘Physical’ music video look made famous by Oliver Newton-John and Jane Fonda. We sell colourful tights, leg warmers, fishnet tops, and gloves to create this look. Otherwise complement your own outfit with a colourful tutu and beads.

The popular musicians of the 1980’s were Madonna with the fishnet gloves, tulle shirts, and fishnet leggings. You can be the “Material Girl” for a night by hiring a lovely white spot skirt, corset, and nettop complete with Boy Toy belt, wig, and jewellery. If white is not your color we can put together a black lace layered shirt with corset and accessories.

Think Cher where you can hire a large black wig, a studded lycra top, tights, and boots to transform into “the Goddess of Pop”,.

If Cyndi Lauper is more you, Cracker Jack’s has a very full red skirt and top, just think of the video clip "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." You may want to accessorize with either red or copper wig for her crazy hair, we also offer loads of jewellery and belts to chose from too.

We have a couple of outfits that have the bohemian style of Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac. This is complemented with a long blonde wig, top hat complete with feathers.

For the men why not be the legendary Prince, hire a purple suit just like the one from the album "Purple Rain." It’s an complete costume that comes with a long jacket, high waisted pants, and frilly shirt finished off with a curly wig.

Not to mention you could hire a red vinyl suit to be the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson from Thriller. We also offer for hire, Angus from ACDC in his iconic maroon schoolboy shorts, jacket, cap, and tie.

When you think the 1980s and Top Gun is one of the first movies that comes to mind. We offer for both hire and for sale, Top Gun costumes for both men and ladies.

Now for a group costume why not be the Ghostbusters. You can hire the cream jumpsuit complete with deluxe backpack. The Ghostbuster costumes with inflatable backpacks are also for sale.
