80"s Costume Ideas: Work-Out Gear
The 80's was the era when work-out videos started.
These videos were recorded in VHS and Betamax and many people liked dancing along with it.
Doing exercises seems to be a chore sometimes, but when you're enjoying and having fun, you won't feel lazy and bored especially if you're wearing something fabulous.
It is a given fact that women in that decade loved fashion to the core, and it applies to almost anything.
Aerobics was not an exception.
Work-out fashion was further popularized by Olivia Newton John in her song Let's Get Physical.
The video of this song featured her in a full work-out gear and people just loved it.
To dress up like Olivia is simple.
Get leotards that are colorfully designed and shiny.
Don't overdo the shimmers or you will look like an out of the world person in a sexy-trimmed spacesuit.
Do get a leotard with prints, especially those that are eye-catching.
You could use a high-cut bikini swimsuit.
Wear a colorful top that bares the shoulders for a sexier effect.
Underneath the leotard, wear leggings preferably bright colored ones such as purple, hot pink, green, yellow, and orange.
Make sure that it is blinding.
Cover the legs by wearing baggy leg warmers that are in a darker shade than the leggings.
And then wear a pair of high-top Reeboks.
For accessories, wear sweat bands that matches the leg warmers.
And don't forget the wrist bands; choose one that matches your ensemble.
Wear plastic dangling earrings and matching plastic bracelets.
Wear the 80's signature blue eyeshadow and glossy lipstick.
To finish the look, perm hair and tease it.
When the hair is big enough and drowning with hairspray, side-ponytail it.
For an added effect in costume, bring a dumbbell.
That is, if you don't mind the inconvenience for added props.
