Studded Dog Collar
80s-style punk costume?
My school Social is coming up, and the theme is Time Warp. I want to go as an 80s-style punk, but I'm not sure about my costume. I was thinking a black band t-shirt (Metallica or something), ripped-up black jeans, black Doc Martens, a black studded dog collar, safety pins in my ears, fake eyebrow, lip and nose piercings, either a bracelet made of safety pins, Anarchy wristbands or studded wristbands, black eyeliner, dark purple lipstick, my jaw-length hair spiked out and dyed black, and black nailpolish.
Is this accurate? I want my costume to be as authentic as possible. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Unforuntaely, my hair isn't long enough for a mohawk, and I'm not sure that red or green will hold, my hair is kind of orange. It's supposed to be copper-orange, but it's a bit dye-f*cked at the moment.
Thanks heaps, On The Radio Uh Oh. Teased hair and everything I can do - I assume dyeing it black works?
Metallica shirt = so not punk. Things have since merged a bit more (if only for the sake of irony), but in the 80s, Metallica was seen as a bloated stadium metal band, which was the opposite of "punk".
Also, studded collars, facial piercings, etc... weren't terribly popular in the 80s (at least the early 80s... by the late 80s, things had branched out more). Keep in mind the 80s punk look was more deliberately identified with street culture, so obvious accessories were generally considered gauche (as, if you can afford studded collars and wristbands, you obviously had money), as opposed to the 70s when it was still largely influenced by glam, and late 80s/90s when the "Hot Topic" look started becoming big.
Try a plain t-shirt or flannel (also could work: plain black longsleeve, a girly/frilly blouse but mostly covered up by jacket or hoodie), military blazer or peacoat (the older and rattier, the better), black jeans (cuffed) or skirt (w/ stockings) both black, Doc Martens, etc... NOTHING "anarchy" related (it was considered tacky and juvenile), no facial piercings (but as many earrings as you can fit on your ears is fine... but ONLY your ears), safety pins should be practically placed (to close up holes, to fit the clothing properly, etc...) if used at all, etc... Hair should either be teased/feathered (a la Siouxsie Sioux) or left down - unless you're willing to shave the sides, I wouldn't spike it/put it into a mohawk. No black nail polish. If you wear any jewelry, keep it simple like a chain necklace (possibly with a cross)... certainly no safety pins and definitely nothing studded... again, safety pins were more for practical purposes, and studs were for bikers and the gay S&M scene (when they finally became big in punk in the mid 80s, they were typically only on jackets - not collars or bracelets).
That would be more authentic. The look you seem to be going for is more of a 90s "mall goth" look than 80s punk.
