I often stepped out in a pair of these... ...white socks, black or maroon sta-press topped off with perhaps a white tshirt and maroon Y cardigan. Id be about 13/14 at the time. Some styles are timeless. Not sure mine were timeless but I sure had a few Nights to remember Edited June 7, 2019 by Dagger Is Back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnybob72 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 A guy I worked with rolled up to the office one day in the early 90s wearing a light coloured suit and slip on shoes thinking he was Don Johnson from Miami Vice. He was ripped mercilessly so much so that he went home at lunchtime and got changed. The gear was never seen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with someone who had similar dress sense late 80's, had the Miami Vice look with the jacket sleeves rolled up but completed the ensemble with a pair of lemon yellow leg warmers.

Folks wouldn't let me wear them to school so put them in my school bag and got changed at the bottom of the stairs Teacher clocked them in the corridor and shouted 'Where's your clubs Mr R?' Never wore them to school again - bullying bar steward! Didn't Levein wear a pair of these bad boys when he was summoned to the SFA for the Hogg incident?

superjack Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Some of my "fashion" styles over the years have been amazing. Stone wash denim Jean's so tight you could see the hairs of my legs through, bright and baggy shorts, a flat top hair style, a half arsed mini goatee, hi tek basketball boots with the laces tied behind the tongue, baggy Jean's with turn ups. Out of all my fashion styles since the 80s, only 2 I can still pull off with style, a hearts top and a Levi's denim jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
