Smooth Operator 10 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Going out with work on the 18th Feb as it's a few people's birthdays, they are wanting to dress up so I suggested we go in bad taste, by this I mean in clothes we wore ten/fifteen years ago when we thought we were sooooo cool! So I was goona go in my Rockports, Eclipse jeans, Kappa tracksuit top and Burberry cap. The lasses are all gonna get their hair permed and fish out their sovereigns. Does anyone have any horrific memories of what they used to wear cos they thought it was "wicked" back in the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All topped off with a light blue Miami Vice jacket, sleeves rolled up and a t-shirt underneath. EDIT: Oh and white pants, deck shoes and no socks..

Geordie Boyo 24 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) NAF NAF jumpers anyone? I had one. 90584[/snapback] I had one too! I remember how much I used to idolise Michael Jackson. I had this black bomber coat with dog chains on it along with my black cord pants on. I would go down stairs, put my Bad record on while my parents sat there disturbed watching me while I span around grabbing my crotch...! Then came the Run DMC era, adidas trainers, no laces with the massive tongues sticking out along with my trendy black addidas tracksuit. Me and my brother used to turn the Subbuteo Board upside down and attempt some break dancing while he played the theme tune to Beverly Hills Cop on his tape deck…!.
