I was being a bit too literal and ironic, I would say that I wouldn't wear my school uniform today.

I’ve mentioned it before ...

I followed the trend of wearing ‘lunes’ and also ‘two-tone’ parallel trousers ....

Lunes were skin tight from waist to knee then went outwards into baggy pants from knee to foot .. I had a brown pair and a bottle green pair ..

Whatever happened to the trend for those Global Hypercolor t-shirts? Did they ever come back from the early '90s? I never had one myself, but my friend and I became convinced back then that they would chance colour around a woman's chest when she was excited. So, it was a guaranteed way of telling if she liked you, right? Right?

I heard they became unpopular because people realised they would show when your armpits got hot.

They actually do sound really nice.

Jeans actually id never wear them cords are fine but never jeans.

Never would wear shoes from the day i left school ive almost never wore shoes unless i really have to.

These are two good calls you have made here Darren - which further emphesizes we must be "lost twins"

I never liked Shirts either as well as Jeans and Shoes - as you say, unless the later for Weddings/Funerals

Though if I go on this airCabin Crew Course in Sept that may all change to be honest lol

One major biggy I hate is how ties have been made to be skinny ones- this is nothing like how they made them in the 80s

If you want a skinny tie - just wear it skinny I say, it's only the same as other trends like Cowboy Hats and Jeans Trends - even though it started off as a School fad lol

Most of the 80s (or at least 70% rather) to be honest, but even thogh most have been improved upon but are'nt as good if this makes any sense, which then brings everything full circle and = no difference then as a result. Though the original windrunners of the 80s and Short Collared Shirts from then are good!!

Re: Clothes from the past you would not wear today

I recall wearing a pair of bottle green coloured LOONS ' back in the day ' .

I was thinking about loons as I started scrolling through this thread! Weren't they worn low on the hip and were very tight-fitting until at the knee they flared out to a ridiculous degree? I was a bit young for them I think as they were late-60s/very early-70s if I remember correctly - and I always thought of them as hippy-wear! I remember you could buy them mail-order - there were always ads for them in the Melody Maker.

Re: Clothes from the past you would not wear today

I have a red and white striped bobble hat covered with badges I wore in the early 70s. It's still in my wardrobe but I wouldn't dare wear it now--even though it has some cool badges
