Going through a 'goth' faze and wearing snot green tights with fish nets over them,with stripey pink and black knee-high socks over the two of them,with dark green converse which were falling apart! and this was just the legs down!
Before this,I went through a tracksuit faze and remember wearing a bright red zip-up with bright red o'neil tracksuit bottoms,with my red hair to match my red face!
Before this,my sister and I got matching snot green fleeces and 'pull-offs' pants and used to wear it to death!

I have eventually grown out of this

I was into the one hit wonders KRIS KROSS.
One of their main ways to express themselves was to wear their clothes backwards.
Im afraid to say it, I did too wear my clothes backwards at times. NUF SAID.:eek:

Has to be the baggy x-works jeans, cream polo neck with a draw-string neck/collar, black wool type waist coat and black leather hat.

)

Dinkie · 18-05-2010 04:30PM

Am still having a lot of them!

Spent college living in either paisley shirts, or boy t-shirts (the baggy, long, round necked kind) and black jeans with lace up shoes. I looked like a boy.

Lux23 · 18-05-2010 04:31PM

Mine was aubergine cord skirt suit matched with a goth style black top. I really topped the whole ensemble off with black knee high boots and black fishnet tights. The top had floppy bat wing arms and god love I actually thought I looked well in it. Oh Shudder!!

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!

Hahaha, oh my gosh! I had forgotten about bicycle shorts! And bubble bags! Dear god, those were some good times!

United Colours of Benetton, bicycle shorts in every colour! I also had a pair of 'canary yellow' jeans from there which I wore with a lovely matching yellow polo neck... tucked in, and a stripey cardigan in every colour of the rainbow.

Cica runners with flashing lights. Oh, and 'ski pants'.

ash23 · 18-05-2010 04:45PM

A lovely pair of flesh couloured/pale peach leggings.

I was in Leaving cert and we could wear when we wanted to our end of term Christmas party. So I wore them with a trés cool mid thigh length denim shirt.

It was only when my headmistress approached me, initially to tell me off about the unbelievable shortness of my "dress" and said "Oh lord, I thought we had a student here who had forgotten her trousers!" , that I copped that it looked like I was basically naked from mid thigh down.

For months after schoolmates asked me had I forgotten my trousers.

Sapsorrow · 18-05-2010 05:53PM

Oh god mine would have to be when I was a young teenager I lived in Galway for the summer and got a bit carried away with the hippy vibe up there and went around dressed head to foot in tye dyed clothes (lots of it rainbow and all at the same time) with big chunky wolly socks and sandals

blondiexox · 18-05-2010 06:11PM

I can't remember what they were called but they were these combat style pants that had loads of long bits of material hanging out of them, they were really really awful! :eek:

Navy and Black

storm2811 · 18-05-2010 07:19PM

I was a total tom boy when I was little but my mam would dress me in pink skirts and leggins,to even it out I always wore my huge dirty doc martin boots:pac:

Would also insist on runnin around in dirty overalls 'cause my dad was a mechanic!

Then theres the little tracksuits me and my cousin would wear,exactly the same but in different colours.

Brown cords and huge wooly old-man jumpers..
Oh I must've looked awful my whole childhood:pac:

Double denim

magicray · 18-05-2010 08:00PM

Ooooh I have a few

Flowery leggings and a stripy top - often teamed with stripy popsocks too, I had a black "Boy George" hat too that was worn with everything

I loved Bros back then and had the bottle tops on my docs !!

Eoineo · 18-05-2010 08:20PM

Purple cords, flowery shirt & a hand embroidered denim jacket that I embellished myself. I thought I was the bees knees. And yes, it was in the 80's not a previous era.

ETA:
This get up also included platform runners MaryJane styleee, white popsocks & a scrunchie.

*crawls into a hole in shame*

From the age of 11 to around 14 I dressed pretty much like a boy. I used to wear black or khaki octopus pants (combats with strips of material hanging off them, for anyone who never witnessed their horror) which were so baggy I could probably have three people into them. I'd team then with an XL mens band t-shirt (Green Day, Sum 41, Linkin Park, what ever was my current flavour of the week) and on cold days an XL mens band jumper. I probably could have worn the t-shirts and jumpers as dresses they were so big.
To top off this loveliness I'd cut holes in fishnet tights and wear them on my arms under my t-shirts and cut the toes out of stripy toe-socks and wear them as arm warmers. Then I'd stick a thick line of black eyeliner under my eye and I'd be good to go. It all wasn't helped by the fact that my hair was a triangular frizzball (I had yet to learn how to tame curly hair).
I remember once going on a holiday to Spain during a heatwave when I was 13 and refusing to wear anything other than my usual all-black heavy clothes. I got heatstroke and had to spend most of the holiday in bed. If that's not a fashion faux pas I don't know what is!

doubleglaze · 18-05-2010 09:44PM

Daily teaching classes while covered with the dawg's hair from that morning's hug-session.

And not caring.:D

krankykitty · 18-05-2010 09:49PM

Purple trousers, a mans shirt and a hair quiff that would put Jedward to shame

PatsyStone · 18-05-2010 10:30PM

Every Christmas Day was a fashion faux pas for me! Worst fashion mistake has to be slouch socks (remember those? shudder) with black patent shoes.

Offside · 18-05-2010 11:59PM

My mother insisted on dressing my older brother and I in matching trousers with stripy shirts and suspenders when we were younger. The pictures are not pretty.

Sharpshooter · 19-05-2010 01:25AM

Using a mahogany tint on my brown hair that I thought didn't take, it took my mam a week to tell me the hair on the back of my head was practically red.

Grudle · 19-05-2010 08:09AM

Black shirt, navy trousers, white socks & brown shoes, topped off with a bright red jacket. I looked damn good that night but for some reason came home alone!?!

Bellemz · 19-05-2010 09:02AM

I work with horses and for a while I didn't bother separating horse and non horse clothes in my wardrobe. I went out on a regular basis in my favourite FAR TOO TIGHT jeans, an oversized mens' fleece that had horse hair on it, a tank top and odd converse (one pink, one flowery blue). Combine that with pale skin, wayward eyebrows and really frizzy hair...it was not pretty.

CoDy1 · 19-05-2010 10:46AM

Has to be the X-Works and Eclipse jeans in the 90's. Soooo bad...

Eclipse jeans had one of these ':)' emblazoned all over the pockets...:rolleyes:

LMGB · 19-05-2010 11:18AM

Years ago my mam went to London and brought me back an outfit that every time I see photos of now I cringe, I would actually burn the photos given half a chance, it was a pair of black velvet trousers, a white satin blouse with a black dickie bow (don't ask:rolleyes:) and then she went and knit me a HORRIBLE mohair black and white jumper with big black bows on it:eek: I was only 7 and hated it;)

ciaglen · 19-05-2010 12:27PM

Mine has got to be primark sweat suits ohhhhhhh the shame

Rebel021 · 19-05-2010 12:48PM

Rebs wife here.
At the age of thirteen when others looked cool my mother dressed me in very fetching outfits..... long ankle length kilts in various colours teamed with matching velvet jumpers with lace collars, white knee socks topped off with a pudding bowl bob because she said my hair would never grow properly ( a lie as I have had long hair since the age of fifteen).
Not to mention the scratchy jumpers knocked up on mass on the knitting machine for all the cousins and ourselves with buttons down the shoulders! My own include MC hammer pants, large shoulder pads, a suit with fish all over it topped off by white plastic earings and a recreation of Mark Shaw the lead singer of the band then jericho's hair ( a bad mistake as it looked nothing like it). I have many more but you get the gist...
