Skinny leather ties? Striped knickerbockers? Snoods?

Marina · 18/02/2005 15:51

I KNOW. It's fingerless mittens. Black lace for extra 80s nastiness.

Ameriscot2005 · 18/02/2005 15:52

Knickerbockers - we called them pedal pushers. Stripey trousers - had a few pairs of those.

ps: am about to sew some knickerbockers for DS to wear in his school play. I'm that self-actualised

What about those enormous t-shirts that you tied up in a knot at the side?

RushingAround · 18/02/2005 16:04

Ruffle-necked Lady Di blouses...
Maybe it's Camilla who's bringing them back into fashion

Ameriscot2005 · 18/02/2005 16:04

Big bows in your hair, a la Fergie!

Fingerless gloves, if yesterday's threads were anything to go by

All these things are still being worn in Hoxton Square of a Friday night, you know

Mirage · 18/02/2005 16:32

Soupdragon & Dyzzidi Are right!

I just could not believe it!!!!!!!! Apparently they are all over the catwalks this season & will be appearing in the shops in the next few months.Arghhhh can't believe that anyone would dregde those things back up again.

The rest of the things mentioned here bought back some horrid memories of what I used to wear,but even I didn't wear puffball skirts.
