Rent "Saturday Night Fever" and check out the outfits and hair.  That will give you a good visual of what to wear.

Sounds like they don't have to be gentlemen of the era, which makes it much easier.  \n\nGentlemen of the era typically wore a frock suit and short top hat in conservative colors.  You might be able to rent something like that from a local costume rental business.  \n\n"Newsboy" style caps are very good for working class men of many eras.  Henley shirts or collarless dress shirts (i.e. shirts with the neckband for a fold over collar like a modern dress shirt but without the folding over collar part) are both good shirt looks.  Dungaree style pants have been around for a long time, though maybe not quite as long as the 1850's-- they still have a good period feel, though, so they're worth considering.  Carrharts and Lees both make dungaree styles you can buy at Sears.  Pants of this period should come higher on the waist than most men like these days-- they should really be up around the belly button.  Suspenders are entirely appropriate to help with this provided that they are the button on variety and not the clip on kind.  Belts would be inappropriate.  Pants would be straight legged or slightly tapered, in conservative colors, and probably made of wool or a sturdy cotton.  They would never have a cuffed hem.

In the 60's? Early 70's? That's ballpark. You had to go and get me curious, so I searched...couldn't find alot of info about it, but I know if I kept on it, I would - happy surfing!

Oh if you do a search on google for wild west fashion you'll come up with several facts about clothing during that era.  I had to do this because we had a theme party on this.  Can't recall the sites though so you'll have to search yourself.

- The "Roaring Twenties"\n- The "Dirty Thirties"\n- The "Fighting Forties"\n- The "Nifty Fifties"\n- The "Swinging Sixties"\n- The "Sick Seventies" or, perhaps more popularly, The "Me Decade" (From Tom Wolfe)\n\nThere doesn't seem to be a consensus yet on what to label the eighties or the nineties.  For the eighties, I"ve seen labels such as The "Go-Go Eighties," The "Excessive Eighties," The "Yuppie Decade" and The "Reagan Decade."  For the nineties I've seen The "Nervous Nineties," but it doesn't seem to be a common label.\n\nYou might want to try the following page at wikipedia for articles on specific decades:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_decades

Shame on you chulapanama! We didn´t stink! The hippie era was pretty much as described above, but my main problem with my generation is that we (the old hippies/flower children) are the leaders of today, and the world is in a MESS! We really let our children down, not to mention our grandchildren. Hey guys, is it too late to do something constructive? What about using this wonderful medium (Internet) to start a movement to bring the magic of the sixties back. I personally think that that period was the best in history! Especially the music: Scott Mackenzie, Arlo Guthrie, The Stones, Jimmie Hendrix, Barry Maguire, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Fats Domino, Donovan, etc. They DON´T (CAN´T???) make music like that anymore!

For me personally the 80's were like the 60's for my parents.Sex,drugs and rock-n-roll. Free love and all that. Bell bottoms came back for awhile tie dye and concert shirts.If you watch that 70's show. The early to mid 80's wasn't much different. I would Donna and my friend Amy was more like Jackie. I hope this helps.

How about tight rolled jeans, bleached jeans, hugely over-sized shirts on girls, Milli Vanilli, New Kids on the Block.  Ah, I loved the 80's!  The sad thing is some of the old "fad's" are starting to come back so watch out...they said bell-bottoms would never come back and they did.

Wow....tough question.\n\n70's:  Anything I could dance to like the BeeGees or KC and the Sunshine Band.\n\n80's:  I still love hearing Joan Jett and the Blackhearts "I love Rock And Roll"\n\n90's:  Anything by my favorite band, Collective Soul\n\nNow:  Let's see.....what is in the cd player right now?  Right now I have the song Dare by Gorillaz playing.  Good dance song.\n\nI dj, so I'm always looking for things I can play for others to move to.

Hey, Moon. Actually, I answered a similar question several months back, which you can access here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar508P_B4Wyt1zbNimNzmxXsy6IX?qid=1006032014570\n\nAnd I named some of my favourite '80s era bands even further back, which you can access here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmDmj_UH5dOiEe0KqohI_Dnsy6IX?qid=1006031200738\n\nI can recommend most or all of them very highly, especially the specific songs and artists on the first list. \n\nNow then, what is this particular song that you discovered weeks ago whilst reading one of your friend's lists of preferred music? Inquiring minds want to know! ;)

Are you kidding me???? There's no music like the 80s anymore.\nI love it, I mean, I also like nowadays music, but those are classics.\nFor instance, what do you say about "Every breath you take" by The Police,  I wanna know what love is by Foreigner, Total Eclypse of the heart by Bonnie Tyler, Endless love, by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross, and many more. \nThey are true classics!!!!!!\nOh and Debbie Deb is also good, by her I like When I hear music.\n\nGood question

Wow.  Those songs are older than I am.  Never got into the do-wop stuff.  That's more my parent's generation.  Old-school funk is more my style.  Bootsy Collins and George Clinton!

Ah yes! What to wear, what to wear. Well, I suggest a nice tight fitting T-shirt that shows off your chest pecks. Perfered colors are purple, tan, white, and pink. If you hate pink that's ok. Now wear tight jeans, not the jeans that you can see your As- crack or keep pulling up them up past your knees! I mean jeans like the Levis 505, or even 501's. They show the buns of steel baby! Or if you still have a pair of I believe they were Levis 560's that were tapered jeans, they will do nicely also. For shoe, Brand name babbies! Nik, Conver, etc... Socks-white, and make sure you smell really, really nice! I mean brand name stuff, not this is your fathers smell Old Spice style!

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree (Brenda Lee, or any one of jillions of other performers) blasting from a hidden sound system\n\nMaybe '50s deco stuff with a Christmas twist?  Look for vintage stuff and ideas from Happy Days, Norman Rockwell paintings, etc.  There are some cute antique-y Coca-Cola stuff with Santa on it (which has been a Coca-Cola tradition for a long long time).  Have people involved in '50s dress, only with a red and green flair (Christmas trees and snowmen on skirts instead of poodles, red or green scarves around the girls' necks or ponytails, guys in typical '50s dress with Santa hats)....  ummmm, aluminum Christmas trees, or was that more 1960's?  \n\nA diner setup would probably be easy.  A long, kind of high table lengthwise across the middle of the trailer, with barstools on both sides (to allow onlookers a uniform view; use two skinny "bars" with one or two soda jerks between them), a jukebox (real if you have it, or use a large peice of plywood or cardboard and paint one).  Enough of a "dance floor" to allow one or two couples room to dance to Elvis, Sinatra and Crosby Christmas tunes.  Include the big lights (not the little twinkle lights) for decorating the float and a Christmas tree.  Use icicles (heavy) on the tree.\n\nInclude all your stereotypes.  You know, the nerd, the cheerleader, the jock, the "greasers", the "pink ladies", the soda jerk or waitress.\n\nThis is the kind of float my high school choir would have done.  You don't specify what group you're with, but these are some ideas.  Hope something at least sparked your imagination!  :-)
