Anyone else ever wear this? With a fresh pair of Girbaud jeans? Honestly? That doesn't really look at that bad in the grand scheme of things that it can be compared to.

Back in the 90s, the Starter jackets: If you weren't wearing a Starter jacket, you weren't cool.

By today's standards, I think they're hideous. Especially the Hornets one (sorry : I would never go out in public wearing one of those today. But back in elementary school, I wouldn't leave home without it.

Lots and lots of flannel. All colors, it didn't matter. I have no idea if this was a local thing or just a Matt thing, but under my ripped jeans I used to wear longjohns (long underwear), and in the winter I would pair them up with the long-sleeved thermal shirts. (under a t-shirt, which was also under a flannel.) I would use my thumbs to wear holes in the sleeves of the thermals, and I would stick my thumbs through the button-hole in the flannel. Also, don't know again if it was popular, but I wore either military combat boots or Converse All-Star hi-tops. Black; no other color was acceptable. I still love All-Stars, but I don't think I own any of the other things I mentioned. (except the ripped jeans, which occurred naturally; I have no choice but to wear them, since I can't afford to replace them at the moment.) EDIT: I also, for some reason, thought it would be a good idea to take fashion tips from Rick Steiner, so I copied his "one red boot, one green boot" style, except I used socks. Why I had colored socks is a mystery to this day, but I thought I was soooo cool wearing them mismatched like that.

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. . 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. The suburbs chicks at my middle school called it tightrolling. Until 98/99, my wardrobe consisted in the worst of hand me downs and thrift store cast offs. My mom is a cheap ass who is delusional about fashion. I also had trailer park bangs for two years because mom tried to projects her hair issues on me. She messed up my black Batmitzva.(sp?) By today's standards, I think they're hideous. Especially the Hornets one (sorry : I would never go out in public wearing one of those today. But back in elementary school, I wouldn't leave home without it. Half the chicks at my middle school had that starter jacket because teal and purple were THE colors of the 90's. I rocked a UofL Starter for five years. Maybe I killed the trend.

I was born in 1986 so was dressed in awful attire. I also had to start wearing glasses when I was 10 and if you remember what glasses were like in 1996, shudders.

Are you talking about the gigantic plastic glasses doo doo brown frames? I had glasses like that for ten years. They started off blue, pink, or purple and ended up poop brown.

But back in elementary school, I wouldn't leave home without it. It's amazing how popular the Hornets were in the 90s considering they never won anything. Guess it was Muggsy Bogues. Only I can think to add is that hasn't been posted it that I did have a few Mighty Ducks of Anaheim shirts w/ the Wild Wing logo on them. Also, we all used to sag with our tighty whities on at my elementary school.

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. Ditto. Couple that with my Ninja Turtles and Bart Simpson shirts and my Hi-Tops and I was the man.

No. Mine were metal, with speckly frames but being the mid 90s the lenses were huge.
