Own up to your mistakes - dodgy fashion you wore

I was partial to shiny pvc trousers mid 90's

ha, I sometimes sill wear cargo pants, despite how much they are hated. but that's far from my worst crime against fashion. I used to wear all those terrible t-shirts with wolves howling at the moon and stuff WITH cargo shorts and sandals. good god, I looked terrible.

meeeeh

It's not just one piece, how they are styled together was much worse. Black leather jacket with fringes on sleeves that was bought on a trip to Munich. Bavarians are especially known for their fashion sense. That was worn with white baggy jeans and white basketball high tops. That must have been in early nineties when I was about 13, 14.

Then few years later Versace came out with that collection of pvc minis and cropped wooly jumpers. At least then I went only for pink pvc jacket and transparent jelly shoes or whatever they are called.

Ah yes I also dressed like a member of the band all saints at one point

Oh god where do I begin?! How was I even let out of the house?!
I had a bright pink shellsuit when I was 13, I thought I was confident wearing it, til my school told me it was unsuitable uniform for PE class.


Going out in my teens to youth discos, there was a reason why I went to a friend's house to get ready (apart from a free house to have a Smirnoff ice or can of bulmers in), was me wearing tiny little skirts and tiny tops. In fairness there wasn't a pick on me in my teens but seriously there wasn't much fabric on me to keep me warm.


Anyone remember when the skirt attached the leggings was in fashion? I went to France when I was 14 on a school trip, they were all the rage over there and luckily they came into fashion in Ireland soon after, I wore mine to death!


Dressing like a Spice Girl (showing my age now!) Loved Baby Spice and often wore my blonde hair just like her and blue platform trainers!

Few spring to mind

-dressing like the spice girls
-rip offs
-kickers
-cycling shorts and oversized t shirts in as many bright colours as possible (this one is more childhood, think 1990s)
-tshirts that changed colour with body heat
-mood rings
-increadibly ill fitting jeans that dragged along the ground soaking up water like kitchen rolls (teens)

Confucius say

Boot cut jeans, shudder, very big in the Richard Ashcroft era

Global Hypercolour (I think) were awesome! I'd love one of them now

You were the kind of girl I liked in college.

I don't really have anything I regret - if I wore big jeans it was because it was the style of time, or if I wore a cardigan it was cos Kurt Cobain wore one. I quite like the fact there were different tribes at that time - Cureheads, ravers, grungey kids, thrashers, etc. You just don't get that any more, everyone looks the same.

I was recently looking at old photos from about 10 years ago, and that's when I had more questionable items of clothing - weird shirts, long coats, suit jackets over t shirts, that sort of thing. Fashion for men has become much more wearable now, and being older I can probably afford nicer clothes, so I reckon I dress better now than I did ten years ago.

I loved those hoodies! I still mourn the beautiful white one I had that got turned pale grey/blue in the wash .

Also, I had the world's most comfortable pair of wide leg Nope 'tracksuit' pants. I have no idea why I ever threw them out, now that I think of it.
