Blast back to the '80s this Halloween [1] with some of the best DIY costumes [2] from the decade. How could you not to, considering the '80s was filled with brightly coloured spandex, crop tops, and side ponytails? With a range of cool couples costumes [3] (Westley and Buttercup from The Princess Bride, of course) to easy homemade solo costumes [4], these outfits are cute, creative [5], and totally rad.

Whether you like movies like The Breakfast Club and Dirty Dancing or you're into the Jazzercises of the decade, we have all the '80s inspiration you could ever need for this year's tubular costume [6]. Go back in time, and find your Halloween-costume gem right here.
