my favourite outfit - "never again" edition

Another thread reminded me of my absolute favourite outfit when I was about 13 (circa 1985): slouchy grey boots, grey cord "baggies", grey anklewarmers, red knit batwing top, all topped off with grey plastic bead jewellery and a grey belt worn over the jumper. I thought I looked THE BUSINESS. I loved it to the extent that I remember telling my friend before going to a Youth Club disco that I would never be embarrassed by it - "70s clothes, flares and that, they're all ridiculous - but batwings and baggies just look great!"

Have you any favourite outfits of yore that you cringe at? Or think of fondly but would never wear again?

(Honourable mention for me also goes to various 90s clubbing outfits, including a silver lame crop top and a green fake fur jacket that looked like I'd skinned a Muppet for its pelt)

Plastic faux snake print pink knee length pencil skirt with backless metal chain handkerchief top (in pink) and some matching pink wedges and handbag. Circa 1999. Omg.

Also do you remember that britney/madonna video where they wore men's trousers and braces? Yeah that but just with the braces hanging down and a cropped tshirt.

Mustn't forget the thong which said the word 'LOVE' in diamanté lettering above the back of my tight leather trousers worn with a backless top. I'm sorry, I had no taste. I was also too innocent to connect the dots with love being above the bottom area.
