Stupid things you wore as a youth

[Gord]

continuing on the theme of things you did but want to forget

In my teens I fancied myself as a bit of a mod

I had a skinhead hair cut ( no 1 all over )

black winklepicker shoes

skintight trousers

a blue Fred Perry

and a huge Parka with the oblogitory quadrapheinia badge and the RAF logo on the back

God I looked like something else , but in my mind I was it - the hight of class and fashion

edited to say that they were of course Farah trousers

Confess all here

 

[lobito]

Volleys athletic shoes

Knee high tube socks

 

[Countess DeWinter]

let's see...most of this I've blocked

I actually wore knickers with long socks and penny loafers

parachute pants

hmmm...most of the time I was happily nondescript thanks to a mother who had no sense of fashion or of the dorkiness of her kids

I had a blue gingham hat that made me look like Laura Ingalls.

Briefly, it was the black nail polish, I must confess.

Now I just stick with purple.

Flourescent shirts.
Two pairs of socks, two different colors on my feet. It made putting my sneakers on more difficult.
The cheap plastic charm necklaces that everyone went crazy for.
Big guidette hair.
Skirts with leggings.
Anything with rhinestones on it.

Fluorescent sweaters. Feathered roach clips in my hair or on my belt loops. Those plastic bracelets Madonna used to wear.

And yes, I had toe socks at one point. But never with sandals.

A crusty cut or mullet.

 

[juicylips]

Hiphuggers and a bodysuit.

The same style clothes I'm wearing right at this moment. I still can't believe I'm wearing hiphuggerbellbottompants again...sheesh.

 

[Dietrich K.]

Bellbottoms and paisly shirts.

Actually, I thought I looked pretty cool in them.

I bet yours aren't in polyester, though.

Type mullet porn into google image search and you'll have a laugh I gaurantee.

 

[Starfish]

An 80's sweater dress, jelly shoes, and other dumb shit.


You know! One of those knit sweaters that was just made long enough to be a mini skirt, and then you wear a belt with it.
Ack. Mine was like black and white stripped. Very gaudy.

I'd wear red shoes or something of an eyesore, and some matching beads and a bow in my hair. I looked like a nightmare.

Thank god I went skater punk really fast after that.

What I wore...

Well, do you all remember the early 80's punk style? That was me. Spiked hair streaked with purple and black. I Had a safty pen through my bottom lip. White face and heavy black eyeliner with heave purple eyeshadow. Tight black clothing. Pants usually with big holes in the knees. WOW looking back I thought I was something else then and now I just have to laugh. Oh what fun early teen years were

I used to wear the dumbest stuff. I once wore a pink wig and a polyester slip (that's all) to a rave (this was when I was in college). In middle school I had a little clip on leather tie that I would wear with a vest, skirt, and knee-high socks. I liked to cut up sweaters and other things to make my look more "rugged". My style these days is decidedly more clean cut - I wear my shirts the right-side out.

 

[JerseyBoy]

red wrist bands (like you wear playing tennis or racketball)

no wonder the girls avoided me in grammer school
