What Clothes were considered cool when you were in school?

[TazzyDrunk]

I remember people wearing Addias Trainers and they were trendy and popular.

Buffalo boots
Baby G watches
Any clothing item you'd handpainted yourself with puff paint pens
Velvet scrunchies
Cutting a hole in the crotch of a pair of tights and putting your head through it and your arms in the legs
Bolero cardigans
Bucket hats
Babydoll dresses
Snap bracelets

Me, loons, cheesecloth, embroidered tunics, Afghan coat, loads of beads. My sister, Ben Sherman shirts, staypress skirt or trousers, crombie coat, doc martens. We are old!

Baby g watches, poppers (Adidas tracksuit bottoms with poppers up the side!) pretty much anything from Tammy Girl, or Moto jeans from Topshop. Later I was very into Crusty jeans which were a mega wide flare

26NaturalBornWoman I forgot the cheese cloth. Wasn't aloud a Afghan coat and my feet were too small for doc martins. My beads are still in my bedroom at mums house.
Happy days.

Kickers. Never had any though. Seemed like the world had ended at the time! Lol

Pretty much the opposite of whatever I was wearing

Rara skirts
Leg warmers and over the knee woollen socks
Moccasins
Batwing jumpers (back in yay)
Stilettos
Girls with short hair that was pouffed on top and had a rat tail down the back.
Was not trendy and had none of the above bar leg warmers.

Rugby tops underneath baggy dungarees. I wasn't allowed them on the grounds that they looked ridiculous. Later on black skirts (pretty much like school skirts) with black tights and white cable knit jumpers. I was allowed this as long as my skirt was not too short. Later on I joined the grebo tribe and we wore a mix of army surplus and hippy type stuff from markets or charity shops.

Long skirts where the bottom half zipped off to make a mini skirt. Also short skirts with bootcut or flared jeans /black trousers underneath 😂😎
Body sprays from the body shop - dewberry was the go-to in my school.

For boys - slip on shoes
Harrington jackets
stayed pressed trousers
Wearing odd fluorescent socks
