What bad 80s and 90s clothes did you wear?

[Dave at the Movies]

It seemed like it hit it's worst in the late 80s and early 90s. Mostly due to the craze for neon colors.

I was a little kid so I was made to wear these stupid clothes which I consider a bigger form a torture even more than water boarding.

[G✇JI☈A]

I forget what they were called.

But in the early 90s I did wear those baggy track pants that had that pattern that made it looked like I just done a pit of painting and had not changed my pants afterwards.. I was 11 or 12 and it was the time of MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice and I did not know any better.

Two words: Bugle Boy.

Two more: f***ing Ugly.

I was born in 1989 so I was a kid through that 80s-early 90s stuff. I'm sure my parents got me something stupid though.

If I had to somehow pick something, I would say those light blue jeans with holes in the knees. As if the holes in the jeans werent bad enough, light blue jeans just look horrible...

I had this god awful hat I got at Jamesway one day with my dad when I was 8 so '91-ish. We both thought it was really cool. It was black with neon green, bright blue and hot orange paint splatters all over it. It looked really rad with my mullet

Oh yeah, I had a pair like that. They started getting seriously bad, but I grew up in a house listening to Poison, Bon Jovi, Ratt, etc. so I kept wearing them. It all ended in my neighbor babysitting my siblings and the jeans ripping more. So I just kept tearing them apart until I was pretty much in my underwear. Awkwardness ensued. Especially when I had her the next year as a substitute teacher.

[Young Game]

Anyone else ever wear this?
With a fresh pair of Girbaud jeans?

I had jeans with holes in the knees but I don't remember if they naturally got there or if they started out as small holes and just got bigger. I was like 4-5 years old and loved them because Wayne and Garth in Wayne's World wore them. That movie was pretty much the beginning for why I like heavy metal.

[@TenaciousBe]

Oh God... hypercolor shirts, acid washed jeans (with elastic in the waistband?! hey, I was a fat kid), and the cheapest Wal-Martiest shoes ever, Pro Wings and Winner's Choice. f*** yeah.

[Push R Truth]

I still have a pair of huge grungy flannel shirts.




I still wear them all the time around the house when it's cold because they are freaking comfy.




But I would not DARE be seen in them.

Don't forget to peg them. I had several pairs of those myself in the 80's.

In the early 90's when I was a junior/senior in high school, you would have thought I raided the set of Parker Lewis Can't Lose with all the ugly button up shirts I wore.

[Beast Army Ass]

That Looney Tunes T-Shirt that depicted (I think) Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Taz all as SRS business hip-hop guys.

[fuzzywarble, squat cobbler]

typical outfit during my Hammer Pants days:

-Hammer pants
-Body Glove/Hypercolor t-shirt
-British Knights
-neon slap bracelet

After my Hammer Pants phase, when I started shopping at Oak Tree and Chess King:

-Girbaud/Pepe jeans rolled up at the bottom
-One of those ridiculous Looney Toons/Cross Colors shirts
-K-Swiss shoes
-Feathered hair w/mullet

I looked awful

[fuzzywarble, squat cobbler]

I also had a fine assortment of Rude Dog t-shirts and shorts decorated in neon green/neon pink/black/turquoise colors...sometimes all at once.

I was almost religious about rolling up my jeans. And you had to fold them over before rolling them, so they were tight enough to stay rolled. Never owned a Hypercolor T shirt, but I did own some button fly jeans, and some light blues, and I used to roll the sleeves up on my T shirts. I had a pair of parachute pants, and a pair of those sunglasses that were just one big lens with a mirror finish. Somewhere out there, there is a picture of me with a mullet, but my older brother is the one that has it in his Senior picture. Never ripped holes in my jeans, but I had a friend that blew a hole in his with a shotgun.

Earlier in this thread when I said "don't forget to peg them" in regards to Bugle Boy jeans, this is exactly what I was talking about. We use to call this pegging them (as opposed to cuffing which didn't include the fold over first). Not sure if pegging was a local term or if it's used elsewhere.

[JDviant]

JNCO jeans. I looked like such a tool, I'm so happy to be an adult now.

It might have been local, but don't go by me, I lived out in the middle of nowhere.

I had a mullet... in mid 90's

[bibboid]

I used to wear Izod/Lacoste shirts because I liked the alligator.
Then, when they became all the rage with the 'preppies', I switched over to Munsingwear shirts because they had a cool penguin on them and came in brighter colors and didn't shrink after you washed them twice (because they were made out of that cool polyester).
