What did the popular kids all have at your school?

[ExhaustedCoffeedrinker]

I was in secondary school late 90s early 00s All the popular kids at my school carried their books around in Jane Norman carrier bags in Alevels they started to get cars.
I remember being so jealous of this Playboy choker necklace one of the girls had.

Jane Norman drawstring bag, a pair of Rockports, a gold clown necklace

Benetton drawstring bag

Jane Norman bags and spiral perms.

Early 80s...Kickers... I was never allowed them.. My Mum insisted on Clarks!!! 😔 😔

Mid 80s. ‘Pod’ shoes. Mainly the lads, but some of the cool girls wore them, too.

A fuck load of confidence

Kickers
Jelly shoes
Nike trainers
Those jeans that had the bright colour block at the top of the thighs
Perms

I got a new pair of kickers for starting 1st year at high school in 1999.

I desperately wanted a pair of tucker boots to wear to school in the early 80's but my mum insisted on Clark's wellies 🫤

Kickers or Pods
Adidas tracksuit bottoms and Nike trainers for PE
Morgan or Body Shop bags
Boys had "curtains" haircuts and later gelled up quiffs
Girls had high ponytails with two long strands left out at the front and later the "Rachel" haircut
Sony Discman

90s, obv

Holidays abroad.

70s/80s

Omg I read this as knickers and thought

1. how did you know what knickers everyone else had

Then read the rest and thought

2. you weren't allowed to wear knickers at all??

Long day.

Benetton jumpers.

Mid 90's was Naff Naff jackets and The Body Shop cotton bags.
Late 90's/00's was Jane Norman carrier bags, Yin/Yang symbols, black cord necklaces with a pendant, 'shag band' bracelets, and Pod or Kickers school shoes.

Lots of the popular girls got moved about year 10 into a special area of the school because they'd become mothers.
Popular boys got asbos.

It was a wild time with hindsight.

Oh and those hairspray fringes. That was fun.

Spliffy jackets. Doctor Martins. (Boys) Sega game gear. The really really REALLY cool/wealthy/popular kids at college had minidisks and minidisk players. oh and mobile phones (96-7).

Most disturbing is the really popular girls in year's 8-11 had late teen- well into their twenties boyfriends (some had cars).

Love bites

And sweater shop jumpers!

Late 90's early 00's Jane norman bags definitely and Rockports. Also huge hoop earrings

Anything playboy
Nike air max 90s
Juicy couture trackies
Jane norman bag
Cigarettes and not lollies

Eastpak or Jansport backpacks and a fuckton of gel pens.

Also expensive wrapping paper for covering their textbooks. I had to use whatever we had lying around the house and they gave me so much shit for my "sad" wrapping paper .

Rave tape packs. I was more into metal and grunge though.

A happy home life

Those tracksuit bottoms with the poppers up the leg.

I had them for athletics though, not for wearing "out".

Chicken scratches - so glad i wasn't one of the popular crowd! So much pressure to fit in.
