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.

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

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.
