If you want to take it back a couple of years to a time when everything was cool and smooth the best time to do it would be on Halloween. Break out those black boots with the 4 inch heal. It doesn’t matter that the other guys in the gym are going to look at you funny with them on. You should definitely grow your sideburns into mutton chops to really intensify the look. Don’t forget to bring back the afro. Nothing says retro Halloween costume more than a carefully combed afro. When you were in high school it is hard to believe that this was your normal attire on a daily basis. Find those bell bottom pants in the back of your closet; you know they’re still there. Hopefully your wife didn’t throw them away. To top off the ensemble buy a tight fitting silk shirt and throw a bandana around your head. Nothing says retro Halloween more than you walking into your office party dressed like a 1970’s guitar player high on acid. The only unfortunate part about the whole charade is that you wish you could dress this way every day of the year. Let’s not take things too far. Be happy for the one day a year of Halloween.
