Yep, linen suits... Or parachute pants (think MC Hammer), or do the spandex rocker thing.

Were leisure suits being worn about that timeframe? I'm thinking they were. Of was that the 70s?

Somehow, I don't think the 80s were that memorable. The 50s would be easy. So would the 60s. Or even the 70s (think disco).

80s: Punk - denim jacket, torn jeans, safety pins. House/techno - bright t-shirt, colored sunglasses, whistle. Rap - puffy jacket, possibly without sleeves, ridiculously baggy pants.

Having just rewatched American Psycho recentyl, you could dress up as a wall-street broker; hair slicked back, suspenders, glasses, and something that looks like a designer suit.

Randomly choose a few articles of clothing from brigden's closet.

This likely works for any decade.
