Fashion faux pas from ones youth

[Westham67]

Blue and light blue check Miami vice suit jacket with rolled up cuff and mullet of course 86

[Far Cough UKunt]

I had a pair of red platform shoes that Elton John would have been proud of.

[zico]

Nightclub attire late 80s. Burgundy shirt, burgundy cardigan, yellow fabric pencil tie with gold tie pin. Grey sta press trousers with black loafers to finish. Lord alone knows what I was thinking! At least I didn't add white towelling socks with it. Did I pull? No!

Odd fluorescent socks in the eighties.



 

That would be perfect set off with a Global Hypercolour T shirt

[Massive Attack]

Curtains with an undercut hairstyle. What the fuck was that all about?

[zebthecat]

The multicoloured mullet I had in the 80s was pretty inexcusable.
Being in various bands lead to some pretty tragic combinations this one being the oddest.
Flying boots, silver shakeskin lycra trousers, bullet belt and UV flourescent (we had a blacklight strobe) psychedelic face and body paint suited the band in my mind.

Is it too soon to mention green cotton loons?

[honky cat]

This was pretty much me around Bethnal . . .

[Westham67]

I am cracking up LOL toy soldiers 

[BRANDED]

There was a short phase in London soul boys to dress like toy soldiers.

[Nurse Ratched]

Yeah, The Cure.

There's a lot of Robert Smiths around but the best one that fits your description, Nurse is Robert Smith from the Cure?

[Massive Attack]

As a teenager I back-combed my dyed black hair and walloped on the thick kohl eyeliner. I cut about in a leather skirt and mismatched fluorescent yellow and pink socks. In my head I was an ersatz Siouxy Sioux. In reality I probably looked more like Robert Smith.

Gank.  Some of the clobber i bought, definitely can

[Westham67]

Yellow trousers orange seasider shoes walking down the A13 to Beckton cringefest

[Westham67]

I went for a Punk orange hair look when I was around 13 or 14, left the peroxide or whatever it was on way too long and ended up looking like an alien.

There was a kid at school who wasn’t the brightest, and I saw him years later wandering round in his late teens, wearing a black leather jacket with Ghostbusters proudly emblazoned on the back, with what looked like Tippex.

LOL. I had a mate who was fat he died the bottom of his frayed jeans white and he looked like a shire horse

[Gank]

Went through a designer gear phase in my early 20s (late 90s early 2000s) and some of the choices get a few comments from my friends

Other than that my early 90s shell suits, and i definitely wore football shirts more than i should have as a teen (and now To be fair.. but mainly to games around the house and gym these days)

Things that were actually in fashion cannot be described as faux pas.
