it has to be when i was younger thinking a denim shirt and waist coat along with leggings and desert boots made me look damn cool. It did not. At all.:eek:

foodaholic · 17-05-2010 05:52PM

Coulottes and a bad perm, need I say more........

Gillington · 17-05-2010 06:08PM

Me and my brother who I'm a year older then,had matching bowl hair cuts,matching red tartan trousers with matching red short sleeve shirts which we had to wear every Sunday.The only way people could tell us apart was that I wore blue braces and he wore green! I still resent my mother for that!

One summer, when I was about 11 (i.e. old enough to know better!), I pretty much lived in what I thought was such a cool outfit - lime green denim hotpants, with a faded pink denim waistcoat sort of thing, with buttons down the front of it. Along with big thick white sports socks, and my dirty battered old Asics runners. And my "pageboy" bob, just to complete the look. Nice ...

Dublinstiofán · 17-05-2010 06:22PM

God i really don't fit in for this one.

My Virgin Megastores staff T-shirt from three years ago in San Francisco is still in my regular rotation.

litup · 17-05-2010 06:23PM

Electric blue lace bellbottom trousers. Seriously. I even had to wear big blue knickers under them as they were completely see through. Like foodaholic I was also rocking a rather fetching perm around the time. It was a fabulous look

Galadriel · 17-05-2010 06:56PM

Picture it - my confirmation day, my Mother decided what I should wear and the result was: 3/4 length navy collotes, white lace tights with bows on them, sailor shirt, 'Lady-Di' hat (complete with lace veil), cut off lace gloves, and to top it all off red shiny patent leather shoes! :eek:

allandanyways · 17-05-2010 06:56PM

Boyzone belly top, waist-high (but not in the way that's cool now) bright blue flare jeans with a brown suede fringe along the bottom and green jelly sandals, school disco outfits were clearly my forte.

Another favourite was my purple velvet bellbottom trousers with a red fluffy jumper tucked in with high heeled ankle boots (so I could click when I walked).

The worst thing is that these were all outfits I wore only just over ten years ago

Futurecrook · 17-05-2010 07:07PM

There were two 'outfits' [read: hideous fashion faux pas that shall never be repeated] I loved as a youngster (As chatterpillar said, I was almost a teenager and should definitely have known better) :

The first was my fake adidas tracksuit bottoms that had two stripes at the side instead of 3, teamed with a lime green wool jumper.

The second was pink coulottes teamed with a wine coloured poloneck. To top it all off, both of these outfits were worn with my beloved electric blue 'bubble' jacket. Oh the shame.

Dacelonid · 17-05-2010 07:13PM

White Denim Jeans.

dresstoimpress · 17-05-2010 07:20PM

ok here goes......
Aged 16 my favourite outfit was a demin shorts dungree's with red little flowers in the inside of the pockets.

With them I wore bright red tights, with a matching roll-neck jersey long sleve red top and a pair of wine Doc Martan's boots :o
And my long hair in a lovely high, side pony tail!!!

Impressive website by the way!!

slowmoe · 17-05-2010 07:24PM

using food dye as a hair colour in red

the bathroom was covered in red and it rained the second day, the dye ran from my hair into my clothes and even shoes!!! oh the shame

Eviledna · 17-05-2010 07:25PM

My biggest fashion faux pas involved something of a wardrobe malfunction...
A 12 year old me was so proud of a navy and white bodysuit that I wore with almost everything...one morning I decided to finish drying it off on the radiator before wearing it...but I forgot that it had metal clasps at the groin-join...and the pain of it is seared into my memory!

Dolly Dagger · 17-05-2010 07:40PM

hehe oh god... A spice girls top, multi coloured leggings, runners that lit up as you walked and a spice girls backpack i was always in pigtails back then too and i had a snot green puffy jacket two sizes too big.... i was 7 it in no way reflects my style or musical taste now: rock chick and death metal !

peace bitches :eek:

cynder · 17-05-2010 08:14PM

doohan · 17-05-2010 08:22PM

phill106 · 17-05-2010 08:40PM

Wearing my mcsh*t tshirt to mcdonalds.... Wasnt intentional!
Oh and wearing sandals with socks

xxlplease · 17-05-2010 09:02PM

Well, one girl's faux pas can be another girl's best selling point, it all depends on our style, figure and character, that's why fashion is so fascinating. My biggest mistake must be wearing a lovely coffee colour dress at my friend's wedding and instead of dressing it up with rich red accesories as I had initially planned I went for safer option and dressed it down with black shoes, bag and head piece and it not lost its charm but my face and hair totally lost its shine. Accesories can make or break the look. Won't make this mistake again.

When I was about 10 I had this outfit I thought was so unbelievably cool. It was an orange bodysuit worn with these matching orange/red/blue print trousers with a high elasticated waist. They were baggy at the top and tapered in at the ankles, at just the right place to show off my lovely Hi Tec trainers with extra large tongues. I accessorized this outfit with a pair of large pearl clip on earrings I had found in my friend's mother's jewellery box and a multicoloured floaty scarf I thought was really chic. As it was my favourite outfit, I'm wearing it in every picture of me that year which is why I keep the photo albums well hidden from boyfriends who come to visit!

Regina Phalange · 17-05-2010 10:03PM

Bright Orange Stirrups, a black Tee-shirt with all the Spice Girls faces on it and sandals WITH socks......

I was stylish!

skate · 17-05-2010 10:09PM

Yellow ribbed sky-pants/leggins....... a lovely white shirt with a big black belt around it..... topped off with a bright yellow TIE.....ouch!

lynski · 17-05-2010 10:17PM

wow i lived through the eighties as as teenager, i can beat you all.
ankle length bright yellow tube skirt, oversized black shirt, bright yellow belt over the shirt, yellow cardi, yellow lace madonna style floppy bow in hair, yellow tights and black and yellow shoes. layered over all that was 6 different lenghts of faux pearls from waist length up, a faux pearl broach and dangling earrings. all combined with 'scrunch dry', 'sun-in' brassy hair and thick glasses
wow even i am not sure what i was thinking.

MrStuffins · 17-05-2010 10:22PM

My mother ought me a set, a pair of Jeans and a Jumber and exblazend on both was these guys..........

I think i have a picture of me wearing it somewhere. I'll post it if i find it

OH THE SHAME!

squeakyduck · 17-05-2010 10:54PM

When I was about 8 or 9 an older friends sister gave me some clothes she didn't want. One of my favorites in this "goody bag" was this play suit. Luminous green of course, gaudy big black belt around it. I thought I was so cool in it. Worst fashion disaster EVER! I wore it with white runners with white socks pulled up underneath. Oh god. At least my fashion sense is more co ordinated now!

GirlOfGlass · 17-05-2010 11:17PM

Bicycle shorts (they weren't actual bicycle shorts, but that's what I called them, they were just really tight stretchy shorts, basically), one leg being neon green and the other was neon pink.
With those, I would wear my favourite Flinstones t-shirt. Which was baby pink and yellow. COMPLETE clash with neon colours.

Then for footwear I would wear these crazy platform type runners. They were denim, with a massive white platform. Complete with knee high white socks that I more than likely still had on from school.
And to top it all off, a bubble bag. Yep, a blow up bag. Oh and a Boyzone hairband. Stylish or what!

gleoite82 · 17-05-2010 11:31PM

Bright pink velour track suit pants & matching zippy top with baby pink tank top with something like 99% angel 1% devil on it in grey/silver sparkled writing and uggs with fur trim!!

Makes me want to cry thinking of it but at the time i felt like Jordan (minus the big boobs)!!

LizT · 17-05-2010 11:42PM

My biggest fashion faux paux was when I went to a school disco when I was about 14. I decided that a black halter neck top with diamantes all down the front, a 50's poofy skirt with a picture of a woman wearing a hat, patterned black tights and knee high black leather boots would be a good look. As I walked into the yard to queue up I heard someone shout "Jesus... look at her" I thought it was because I looked great but when I think back now....:o

Reganio 2 · 18-05-2010 01:02AM

Got to be the Blue shiny tracksuit bottoms I had that and a white t-shirt and a mohawk in the style of David Beckham, I wish I could say it was when I was younger but it wasn't that long ago

lonestargirl · 18-05-2010 02:52AM

I had this pink suade jacket which was teamed with a knee length denim skirt (which was ok) and then the top I wore under it was pink + green with purple sequins. You could see me coming a mile away!!

Tazz T · 18-05-2010 08:49AM

Cowboy boots with skintight 'paint-dyed' trousers and a St John's Ambulance jacket.

Hey, it was the punk era.
