Clothes from the past you would not wear today

[the fox]

In the early '90s, I had a couple of long-sleeve shirts with lurid patterns that could strip paint. I wouldn't dare wear anything as lairy these days.

Yes buttoned up long sleeved shirts were the thing in the 90's. I had some terrible colours and patterns. Also I remember the big turning point in about '92 when everyone suddenly started wearing their shirts untucked from their jeans. Looked really odd at first.

A mate of mine (honestly) used to have those weird shirts that changed colour depending in body heat. Ended up with a purple shirt with, like, green armpits !

Shellsuits. Possibly the second biggest crime against humanity after The Big Bang Theory.

A pair of huge checked grey flairs that even I hated then (my Ma got them at a jumble sale, and she thought they were lovely) I also got from the same jumble sale, a pair of brown and cream Y fronts - Pure class

One of those nylon bomber jackets that were in fashion for a while in the mid to late 1990s. The ones that had 'Kenwood', 'Alpine', 'NASA', 'White Dove' etc embroidered on the back. They seemed to come in black, navy or a funny shade of green and they all had an orange lining.

Yes I loved those at the time. God knows why. There was a phase of wearing collections of badges all over them, too. I always wondered where and how the fashion for those started.

Recently there seemed to be a lot of shirts with patches sewn on, like an American mechanic's overalls.
