What would feel ridiculous, or what do you still like and even wear? - or perhaps sad that you’ve thrown them away?

Shell suits, ski pants and those floppy velvet hats (think Anna Chlumsky is My Girl) would feel ridiculous.

I remain very sorry that my wonderful tweed flares that I've had for many years no longer fit. I wish they did!

What about you?

Anything with shoulder pads wasn‘t good as I have a short neck. Flared skirts fitted at the waist with cardigans also ribbed at the waist, with platforms, was really flattering. I had some dungarees which don’t really do much for anybody. I wish I’d kept a load of stuff from the New Romantic days but it would all be sitting in a bin bag somewhere.

Sta-press trousers (in burgundy) :oops:Harrington jackets, brogue shoes with those steel segs nailed into the sole, what a racket.
Later on, jeans with pinstripes, bleached jeans, shellsuits, oversized sweatshirt with bizarre patterns, baggy jeans/bootcuts.
Halcyon days

trousers with the skirt attached. I LOVED mine
Me too! Especially ones I had in that weird shiny stretchy material that just felt so cheap!

I also loved the big baggy cargo pants that had straps hanging off them. Had them in every colour going! Wouldn’t dream of wearing them now though.

Cowboy boots. I used to love mine, I had a pink pair. 🤠

Flared jeans as well. And tops with huge puffy sleeves. I remember in primary school it was own clothes day and I went in with a cream top on with puffy sleeves, flared jeans and my pink cowboy boots. My teacher told me i was the most stylish in the class 🤠

Ahh I loved my silver glittery high heeled jellies. My sister was so jealous as she was younger than me and had to have flat ones 😂

Tops from Tammy girl
Hair mascara
Inflatable bubble backpacks
Puffer jackets (still wear those)
Baggy jeans or jeans with some sort of embroidery on the legs.
Also jeans that were so low cut you risked flashing your pubes 😂
Disc belts
Dolly shoes 🤢
Those little tie up shrug tops that were pointless.
Having loads of bangles up my arm.

Some other stuff from my youth I actually would wear now - well not technically my youth but I’ve stolen a load of my mums old clothes from the 90s (we are the same size). I know they say if you’re young enough to remember the fashion the first time round don’t do it again but I can’t help it.🤪

I had a pair of these when I was about 8, which I would wear with my Groovy Chick tshirt and trainers. I LOVED them :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
