90's Fashion
Oh boy. These were hard times.... We made so many fashion mistakes I can hardly include them all in one post.
And the guys made just as many blunders as the ladies.
Let's just get right into it because I'm trying to type before my manager sneaks into my office. (we can't close the doors)
Avirex jackets
crocheted tops and vests
the long chroceted vests with the one button in front.
combat boots with spandex and tube socks
skorts
wraparound shades -oakleys
raiders coats
bandanas
airbrushed clothes
platform sneakers
clear purses
bindi's
mini back pack purses
British Knights and L.A. Gears
body shirts that snapped together at the crotch
hoop earrings
box braids
Black cartoon character shirts i.e. Black Bart Simpson shirts
Don't have a cow man!
Wallabees
Fila's (I loved loved loved! my Grant Hill's)
hockey jerseys
basketball jerseys became popular
pagers - mine looked exactly like this one
the old grey Motorola cellphones
other notable mentions:
shirts with ruffles on the collar and sleeves, capri pants, hip huggers
caps with the tags still on it, flannel shirts paco jeans, baby tees, Blossom hats
army fatigue, halter tops, pleated skirts, shirts with singers/rappers on them (although I'd still rock a Tupac "I Get Around" T-Shirt.
scrunchies, fingerwaves, black lipstick, rings on every finger, bell bottoms,
white eyeliner, Karl Kani, colorful sweatsuits, windbreaker sets, platform shoes, silver coats, jumpers, gang beads, black lipliner - although Kim Mathers took this well into the new millenium!
straight leg jeans with splits at the ankle - some with little bows in back
flourescent colored tights, tights with the lace at the bottom, shoes with big ribbons for laces, dress shoes with laces!
8 Ball jackets, jeans with the leather on the front only, Cross Colours
biker shorts, and baby doll shirts/dresses

That grey motorola phone- I rocked that, I actually still have it. It may be worth money some day.

I actually have some pictures of myself with some Orange Wallabees on. Mine were actually Wannabees though because I couldn't afford the Clark's so I got some Lugz. I still looked stupid hype with them though!!
Man I was rocking alot of the stuff you mentioned (being that in the early 90's, those were my junior high school to high school years). I was looking fresh to death in my baggy Cross Colour jeans, haha, and also rocked the Guess? jeans, w/ the matching jean jackets (all colors) and can't forget "Major Damage, and "Used" by Elie! Funny enough, I'm taking it back even further, wearing vintage 80's stuff now, like my Patrick Ewing orange/blue/white Adidas that I bought recently, and alot of old school hip-hop t-shirts.
But here in the BK, brothers would get merked over an 8-Ball, even a triple fat goose...man...they almost got me for my Raiders coat...and it wasn't even made by Starter, lol. I did get a beatdown for one thing...my Nike Air Huarache's. Damn that big bully, I say!
