Benetton bag, massive branded trainers (Reebok?) and a perm lacquered with wet-look gel or spray. Every now and again I see a middle-aged woman who somehow still has that hairstyle, and think that she must have been part of a very bitchy clique when she was 14! Also: spray deodorant ("BO basher") not roll on, and tampons rather than towels, in case people thought you were a virgin (social death). Shapeless jeans of a certain brand (Levis?) to change into the very second you got home, in case people saw you in uniform after school and thought you were a "gyppo", i.e. poor, which was even worse social death than being thought to be a virgin.
What they didn't have was books. You really didn't want to be seen in possession of one of those, other than the compulsory school kind. Obviously, the library was both officially and unofficially off limits.
I didn't have any of this, and was particularly traumatized by having to wear unbranded trainers with "growing room". It was like trying to run in skis!
Then I changed to a girls' grammar for 6th form. What did the popular girls have? Whatever they wanted, I suppose. (Cars and much older boyfriends were perceived as a status symbol by those who had them, but kind of side-eyed by everyone else.) Grunge was in, which was wonderfully face-saving if your prarents didn't pay for your clothes and you had to manage with elderly relatives' castoffs. Who were the popular girls? I don't even know. It was bliss.
