Fairly certain I won't be wearing that shocking jacket I dug out last night again.

Rats tails...ugh. my brothers had them.

Those fabric school bags with the buckles. Had them too.

I Was going to say the terrible shoes they had, but they're already back in fashion. I don't know the name though. My brothers looked horrific in the 90's.

Reebok Hi tops with the basketball pump on the tongue? could have been those LA Lights (they lit up red at the heel when you walked on them)

Stay pressed and 'Y' cardigans.

Dr. Martens.

Fingerless Gloves.

Luminous Socks.

Olympus jogger ends with the wine piping.

Chequered Jeans.

Dungarees.

Espadrilles.

Dunlop Green Flash.

Hi Tec 'Tecs'.

Moccasins.

You can guess my age by this list of atrocities.

X-worx and Eclipse jeans from the mid 90s. Shocking stuff.

Often worn with a naff jacket to complete the look. Shocking indeed.

Cutting a slit into your jeans on the inside of the leg so that they come over your pants more

MJ23 · 25-07-2013 09:20PM

Petro Motion, Eclipse, Xworx. All those ridiculous clothes from the mid 90's that young lads wore. They thought they were deadly, the state of them.

EB_2013 · 25-07-2013 09:28PM

Those bomber type jackets with a big 8 on the back. I think they came in red and there was also an awful sandy colour one.

crockholm · 25-07-2013 09:41PM

From the 80s-those duffle jackets that soaked up half a gallon of water and stank like a tramp,also used T-Rex teeth as buttons.

From the 90s- dressed like a member of Color Me Badd,joe bloggs/xworx/eclipse jeans that would always get tangled in pub furniture,grunge/hobo fashion-music was good,but the grunge girls were fatties.

How will history judge us?

ok, so this one is not fashion as such, more a trend maybe, does any body remember using Gordon Moores toothpaste? i

t was a deep plum kind of colour, the legend was that the deep colour deepened your gums colour, thus making your teeth magically whiter

Love2love · 25-07-2013 10:12PM

I remember a period in the 90's where platforms, flares and frilly blouses were in fashion for girls anyway. Nobody seems to remember that.

KingOfFairview · 25-07-2013 10:38PM

Remember about 96-99 girls would wear a skirt over jeans?

Ah yes. It was particularly popular with us kids in rural towns who couldn't find any shops with real flares, so we made our own.

I do! I had a pair of purple corduroy flares and a frilly at the front white shirt with at least a 5'' pair of platform shoes that made my feet look like they where abnormally small..lol...It was mid nineties and a throwback to seventies fashion came in and I loved it - Charlies Angels style.

NuckingFacker · 25-07-2013 11:29PM

Don't rule anything out. I've a sister who owns one of Dublins hippest fashion shops and the stuff that comes back around is unreal- I somtimes think she's messing when she tells me what is currently "in", but she usually isn't.. then, two weeks later, I see everyone wearing it..

Pretzill · 25-07-2013 11:37PM

Drainpipes. We used to stitch the inside leg of our jeans - they'd be so narrow you'd hardly get your foot out the end. Who knew we'd invented the forerunner to legging & jeggings - without the stretch. ( I'm too old)

Pretzill · 25-07-2013 11:37PM

Oops post came up twice.

Geomy · 25-07-2013 11:51PM

I liked the mod look and the women looked really well in those minis. ...

Looking back at the original star trek series they had that cool modette look.

Way ahead of their time, I love that looks on women. ...

I did that with the trousers of my school uniform. Kept getting ripped more when I was cycling my bike.

Those track suit bottoms with the buttons down the side that could be ripped off. Had to be the stupidest things ever. Did anyone ever wear them and manage to keep them in one piece?

I want these to come back.

Does anyone remember the pants with loads of strings and ribbons hanging from the sides of the pants. They were silly.

I was refused entry into a nightclub one night 'cause I was wearing a pair of those, the bouncer said they were a fire hazard :P

Platform runners, the big white Baby Spice ones, glad to say I never owned a pair of them. I was off wearing my big wanky New Rocks around that time though, thinking I was so unique

TheLastMohican · 26-07-2013 01:28AM

Rock carrying - like the Fir Bolg

lufties · 26-07-2013 09:27AM

Do people still wear levi 501's?

I remember my friend and his brother(the pampered kids across the road) got these runners called 'LA gear' with flashing lights at the heel, they were so cool in the early 90s

Surely a role as some sort of circus freak beckons?

I'm thinking 'the ciggie eater', or some thing like that.

He was drunk and got on the moral high ground ripping up the few bob saying 'money means nothing', bet he could do with it now.

Regarding eating the fag, it was after a few whiskeys and red bulls, but he is a bit of a nutter anyway.

Missyelliot2 · 26-07-2013 11:52AM

I remember a shop called 'Ton sur ton' - all trendy sweatshirts-couldn't afford it though.
Also, in the 80s there was a shop in Galway shopping centre called 'Gaywear!' not sure if it's where A-wear began......
