Re: What were your favourite 80s clothes?

I was and still am a rocker, so fashion didn't really come into it for me, but I remember my first pair of jeans. I was 14, and got them from Port Vale market, a pair of Lee if I remember. My mum nearly had to peel them of me to get them in the washer.

Re: What were your favourite 80s clothes?

My favourite sneakers I had in the eighties were my Adidas 'Run DMC'. The stuff dreams were made of! I bought them one Halloween, and hours later spotted hardened wax from my lantern all over them! I felt sick to the stomach until I realised it came off fine with a quick flick of the fingernail!

Ended up going through 5 pairs of Nike Destiny, which I was also a bit partial to! Also Samba's, remember my best friends uncle assuring me at the time that they were 'proper f*ck!n' trainers, son!' Never managed to get one of those lovely blue berghaus puffa jackets with the red lining, as modelled by hip-hoppers Hijack and most graffiti writers up here at that time, amazed I've never managed to find one with the powers of the net. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be eternally grateful!

Well I dont think Burbs would get into those skin tight jeans now, but then I`d struggle too. Fave clothes from the 80`s would have to be frilly white shirts, jeans and black suede ankle boots from my new romantic days.
Black pencil skirt, loafers, white polo shirt and black harrington jacket from ska days.
My very retro Notts County shirt from the days when we were in the old first division and giving our neighbours a run for their money.
Before all that though, I loved my red jeans, Bay City Roller top, stripey socks, adidas trainers and silk rollers scarf tied around my wrist, fab. At least I thought so.

Ok I was a kid of the late 70's early 80's. No one here mentioned H.A.S.H pants, yo yo's sandals, cherokee shoes (on ebay now for up to $80.00) ice cream jeans, abrie rose jeans. I must be the oldest person here. Thirty nine and love remembering when.
