I had one! I loved it so, all my colleagues got one too 😂 there’s a photo of me wearing it, it’s absolutely massive on me (had a mental block that anything smaller than a 14 would fit) but I look thrilled to bits with it!

I can’t remember if it was H&M or where but I was desperate for one like a denim Mac? They never had my size though, may have dodged a bullet there 🤣
Mine was from H&M - it was calf length but a typical denim jacket style, same collar and buttons etc. I absolutely loved it, thought I was the bees knees!

If you were a Britpop kid, you never went anywhere without an Adidas trackie top, preferably one with the old logo on that you'd got from a charity shop or sotlen from an older sibling. Paired with a tight t-shirt in a primary colour with contrast collar and cuff detail. There was an absolutely beautiful boy who went to gigs at the same place as us who had this collection of tight, shiny old-school football tops which he wore with white jeans and eyeliner. All the girls were obsessed with him but were usually too scared to talk to him. He went to the same college as me and never had a book bag. He just sort of hugged a sticker-covered ring binder all the time. I was never that stylish.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but 'HEAD' bags were the schoolbag to have at my school. I had a pink and white one and thought I was the dogs nads.

Also had a Russell Athletic hoodie and Nike Air Icarus with matching colours.

I also adored a baggy jumper which had roman letters and numerals across the front.

United Colours of Benetton and Fruit of the Loom jumpers were massively popular as well.

I also swanned around with ablack mesh Morgan (Morgan de Toi) bag at some point

A lot of this will probably already have been mentioned .....
Spice girls style anything , usually baby spice style buffalo trainers , huge heels . I did have a bit of a sporty spice phase , all tracksuits that's really didn't suite me at all. And later on in the 90s those ridiculous tracksuit bottoms that had poppers all down the outside of the leg 😂 I had a huge oversized Nike or adidas puffa coat 😅 again must have looked ridiculous.
Skirt over trouser combo . 3/4 length combat style trousers in baby pink or baby blue. I think old fashioned pedal pushers made a comeback for a time too. Cami dress with shirt sleeve t-shirt. Cycling shorts and t-shirts/jumper Princess Diana style. I can remember I had a pair of beige check hipster trousers which I wanted to wear alllllllll the time with a crop top. Fcuk tops , might be pushing the 00s woth that one. I also had a pair of flare jeans with a dragon down the leg / flare which was very in the style of sisqo ( the thong song) 😂😂

Yep. I had a satin Adidas hooded jacket in black and people would stop and ask me where I got it! I also had a burgundy Red or Dead contrast trim t shirt that I wore to death.

I loved pedal pushers! They work with the shape of my legs for some reason. I don't like how shorts for women these days are all so tiny. I have dodgy skin on my thighs and prefer to keep them hidden.

I'm pretty sure I had a red or dead denim bag for school , the ones that you wore across the body and flaped over opening

I was never allowed one as they cost too much but Global Hypercolour T Shirts that changed colour basically where you got sweaty😂🤢
I had one and wore it in the sea for some reason it didn’t work after that 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

I had two pop swatch watches , my husband bought me one for Christmas a few years ago for a bit of nostalgia but it wasn’t the same😭 the face of the watch didn’t pop out anymore!

When that was the whole point you could swap the face with your boyfriends to show you were a couple 😂

Oh god I always wanted a pop swatch but my mum always said they were too big for my wrists! I still desperately want one to satisfy my 14 year old self.

I found an old sleeping bag in my wardrobe earlier with a very '90s sun and moon motif on it. Suns and moons were popular at the same time as dolphins.
