    The uniform thread got me thinking of this.

    When I was a teenager the must have was a pair of Levi's.

    Air Max, X Works & Eclipse jeans.

    I wasn't allowed to wear these, nor could we have afforded them anyway!!

    Mystical land no-one ever visited. A "shift" was the main aim.

    The items of the moment among teenager girls is apparently Michael Kors watches and bags.

    My sister made the interesting point that the marketing is very clever they cost between 200 to 300 so expensive but not out of reach and roughly consistent with what would be spent on a teenage male interests Xbox etc by parents.

    Before I am slated I know there are female gamers I am making a general point.

    I've never felt so old in all my life.

    Anyone remember the Adidas button up tracksuit pants? they were fairly popular for a period in my teens. Cringe.

    I actually saw someone wearing a pair recently, me and a mate had a good laugh about it!
