The Bucket Hat had been around for quite sometime before the 1980s, however when popular 80s rappers started to wear them people took notice, and the brand of choice was Kangol. The Outfit comes complete with the Oversized Baggy Zip Up Patterned Jacket in Various Colours along with the Matching Pair of Printed Trousers. The most popular of the “Large Frame Sunglasses” of the 1980s were “Cazal Sunglasses” or “Cazals” for short. Please note; the model is shown with an inflatable "Ghetto Blaster" and wearing a large gold chain and neon glasses, these are not included with the outfit but they are all available from our extensive collection of costume accessories. Colourful lycra, layered mini skirts and fluro mesh t-shirts teamed with long beads and fingerless mesh gloves make a bold statement.
