Bad fashion trends you're guilty of

[pete's montreux]

http://media.egotvonline.com/files/2009/12/Ashton-Kutcher.jpg

Trucker hats, especially Von Dutch.

http://sparklingwhine.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/popped-collar-3.jpg

Popped collars, especially more than one and different colors. I used to wear long sleeved shirts and pop the collars. If I met me in 2004 I'd punch myself in the face.

http://urbantakeout.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/messenger-bags.jpg

Messenger bag instead of a backpack. If you had a messenger bag in high school you were considered an alternate mysterious loner, and that meant you were cool. What's he got in there!?

http://www.extra-mile.com/pinspatches/graphics/AV-columnbrace.jpg

Message bracelets. LIVESTRONG was cool for a while, and the only reason I don't wear my Paul Pierce one is because it ripped after 5 years.

http://www.footlocker.com/images/products/large_w/16418102_w.jpg

I use to buy every single color. I must've went through like 30 pairs in high school. I was into BBoying when I was younger, so I would buy the all white ones and get these huge fat laces of all different colors and wear different colored laces every day. If I wore a black shirt, black laces, red shirt, red laces. God, I'm cringing at the thought of it.

And if you wanted to be really different:

That's all I can think of right now.

[iamgine]

Popped Polo collar is bad now? Since when? I think collar looks better upturned. Wearing more than one though, I gotta agree that's bad.

I still use messenger bag to my job, only now it's a $500 bag instead of the cheap GAP one I got in uni.

Not a good look.

[Dizzle-2k7]

i can proudly say i never popped a collar, homos....

but i did used to wear JNCOs in middle school:oldlol:

[mlh1981]

Currently:
--fitted new era MLB hats with flat bill. I'll prob. look back on this someday and laugh

In the past:
--Ecko unltd--bought the real gaudy, overly flashy shirts
--hawaiian shirts--ugh, why did I do this?!?!

Theres nothing wrong with a messenger bag. Its just a different preference of how you want to carry and access your stuff.

[Take Your Lumps]

I went through a bad sweater vest phase in the late 90s...

[Juges8932]

The only thing I can think of that I'm guilty of doing is the messenger bracelet thing I guess is what you called them. Ever since 10th grade, I have to have one on each wrist or my wrist feels naked. Like it literally bothers me lol.

Oh, and I like Polos as much as the next guy, but my God, the popped collar thing is so ****ing douche lol. Multiple popped collars is just ridiculous.

As for me, in middle school I used to rock wolf shirts, alot like that one in the famous meme

That picture was taken as a joke.

[DeuceWallaces]

Man, I guess I'm a bore. I wear 527s and plain 'ole t-shirts.

[imdaman99]

popping your collar is one thing but wearing 2-3-4 shirts with all the colors popped? wtf i swear i have never seen anyone doing this in real life but then again i never really hang around by the jersey shore lol

i still wear beanies as if im craig david or something :lol yeah i know, nobody knows who he is here lol

I still wear beanies. Year 'round, too.

[macmac]

I sport the faux-hawk sometimes. I know other dudes probably hate it on me, but it looks good on my damn head, and the ******* enjoy it...its either faux-hawk or shaved head for me.

I have one incredibly flashy Ed Hardy zip up sweater that I can hardly wear in public without feeling like an incredible douchebag. I still sport it though with like a beater under it if I hit up a pool party or something....part of my Vegas phase....

Finally, I wear a kangol hat especially when I havent cut my hair in a while. I look like a fake Irish but goddamn it looks good, gives me the airs of an artist.

At least I dont do the fedora thing. I tend to punch people who wear fedoras

[Horde of Temujin]

Only the cholos wore the Nike Cortez' in my school

[Quata]

fluoro coloured shit was in fashion back when i was in year12 and was guilty of getting into it for a month or so before i realised it looked absolutely retarded....

[catzhernandez]

Wow, anyone who's ever popped a collar is no longer cool in my books.

Seriously Pete?

Next your gonna tell me you rocked a fanny pack in middle school or that you were a fan of Yu Gi Oh. :oldlol: jerb.

[~primetime~]

think I have you all beat in embarrassing fashion trends, only I am older so the trend was older...

there was a brief 1-2 year span in high school in the early I went through where somehow I had accumulated alot of gold jewelry....

had a really big herringbone necklace...along with a big link necklace...


http://www.blinginice.com/AdminArea/ProductThumnail/Figaro%20Chain%20Gold.jpg

so that was 2 huge gold necklaces at the same time...

and then a big old gold nugget braclet...

http://tanosjewelry.com/mediac/400_0/media/Nugget$20brac$20006.jpg


and then..not done yet, lol...had a big gold watch on the other wrist...

along with gold hoop in ear...

SMH...

I never bought any of it either...I can't even remember how I got some of it, probably takin it from other kids or gambling or something...but I can remember one point where it was damn near Mr.T like...

I was pretty ******ed out, but I never once in my life talked all wiggaed out...thank god...you wouldn't ever catch me calling my white freinds "my n*ggas" or anything like that...or my black freinds for that matter...unless it was in a joking fashion...


...not a good time in the life of ~pt~ though...:lol ...fashion wise anyway

I still use a messenger bag. It's not some sort of fashion statement more out of convenience.

Pegged jeans a long time ago. Probably like late '80s.

oh I did that shit too in elementary school...forgot about that

we called it "tite rolling" though...

[dough]

I sometimes sport Sergio's B cup bra for fun. Nothing serious, I wear it under my dresshirts, but it makes me feel wonderful and excitingly vunerable.

[mrpuente]

i had one pair or cortez' and it wasnt a bboy thing where im from. adidas shell toe was a bboy thing had a couple pairs of those.

what about lowrider shirts with jnco's:oldlol: that was me in 6th grade

[Bosnian Sajo]

Wow really? Popped colors scream douchebag. "hey look at me i'm cool! my colors are popped!" :banghead:

Blackberrys are made in Canada

Canada Goose Jackets are probably the best winter jackets you can buy:

Havent done that.

[Posterize246]

I guess the one I'm still currently guilty of is leaving the sticker on my fitteds.

Other than that the only "trend" I can say I fell into was the hip hop jersey trend as seen here...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEmOgBSp0Tw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6ayLdDrGBE&feature=related

^wasn't just to collect them, it was because I liked wearing them. I mean c'mon, I had a Mike Bibby Arizona jersey. :confusedshrug: Only 1 jersey still in my closet and I only bring it out at games.


Oh yeah, and I was with this trend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvFDjDLxwGg), but I never had them looking like a damn dress. Still wear them regularly til this day. Didn't follow the Cam'ron pink tee trend though. :oldlol:

[OneMoreSucka]

Havent done that.
Good man....good man...

[pete's montreux]

Whoever said bowl-cut, my mother used to make me get those. F*cking gross. :oldlol:

[DeuceWallaces]

I definitely rocked some french cuffs from 1988-1990.

[v-unit]

Good call on the bowl cut, I saw a picture of me with one when I was like 5. Yes my mom cut my hair then.

Pete was dressing douche-y before hitting his neo-nazi phase.

[Jello]

Wearing clothes that was 4-5 sizes too big for me.

[Erudus]

no, your guilty of being the only white guy who still thinks hes black

:lol sssh, jeff is watching.

[hayden695]

I had a mullet when I was around 6. And then again in grade ten or eleven for a week, but that was a joke.

I also had the bowl cut.

Grade nine was my worst year for bad trends, it was when I skateboarded lots and I wore some pretty stupid flashy shit. Basically the more vibrant the shirt the more people wanted it around here for a while.

Then around grade ten I smartened my ass up and quit dressing like a moron.

[AtomSmasher]

definitely nothing wrong or outdated with the messenger bag. i have a freitag bag. the bags are all one of a kind and comprised of inner tubes, truck tarps, air bags, and seat belts. straight from zurich. they are pricey however but super high quality.

Wouldn't touch that store with a 10 foot pole now.

[baller693]

Personally I loved starter jackets, I had a Sixers and Charlotte Hornets jacket and they were the warmest jackets that I ever remembered having. I kinda got off tracked into just thinking of random 90's trends instead of listing bad ones. So no Starter jackets are not a bad trend, if i could still find them today the way they were in the 90's i'd probably buy an Eagles or Phillie's jacket.

[StroShow4]

Did someone really just post a Starter jacket in a "bad fashion trends" thread?

[AtomSmasher]

all the cool kids on the playground rocked the oakland raiders starter jacket...unfortunately i was never one of these kids!!!

Wasn't aware that was a bad trend. I know all through elementary/part junior high school I would rock one of those all winter. It got to the point where I started getting one reppin' a team I didn't even really like. Those starter team jackets were the ish.

We have a winner. :oldlol:

[baller693]

I know I remember hearing stuff on the news about them, its crazy the world we live in. I remember hearing a story a couple years back about some guy tried to steal an iverson jersey off a guy in Philly and the guy wouldn't give up his Jerseys so they shot him and took it from him. Iverson heard about the story and contacted the family and paid for all of the funeral expenses. That was nice of him to do that.

[AtomSmasher]

i use to wear those ridiculous jnco's and the even sillier ufo pants when i was in middle school :D

yikes.

[KG215]

I was the last one in my group friends to cave and buy one of those necklaces. Looking back, big mistake. Not only did they look ridiculous all choked up on your neck, but they were also very uncomfortable.

[StroShow4]

I was the last one in my group friends to cave and buy one of those necklaces. Looking back, big mistake. Not only did they look ridiculous all choked up on your neck, but they were also very uncomfortable.

There was one kid who I went to highschool with who wore one of those every single day, along with his Abercrombie sh!t and a queer looking haircut. I seriously got angry every time I saw the guy. He just looked like such a f@cking tool.

[KG215]

Not trying to be mean, but I laughed at kids like you. It honestly could have been you for all I know.

No offense. I bought one in my entire life, wore it for a month or two in junior high, then threw it out. Those things were ridiculous looking. I have no idea why they were so popular.

When I was in junior high (late 90s-early 00's) the "preppy" look became very popular. I was one of the last kids in 7th and 8th grade in my group of friends to go away from the "athletic" look to the "preppy" look. After a while I thought it was just wrong to go to school in anything but jeans or khaki shorts and a name brand shirt (mostly American Eagle or Tommy Hilfiger). I swear we were worse than girls in the locker room after athletics. There would be 10-15 guys crowded around the mirror with their hair gel fixing their hair. Fortunately fixing my hair with some sort of product was the one trend from that era I never gave in to.

[KG215]

There was one kid who I went to highschool with who wore one of those every single day, along with his Abercrombie sh!t and a queer looking haircut. I seriously got angry every time I saw the guy. He just looked like such a f@cking tool.

Yeah it was definitely a "douchey" look. Considering all of my friends were athletes who used to wear nothing but athletic clothes, it's kind of weird (in retrospect)that we all tried to transform to the preppy look.

[endorphins]

ugh i never had those ugly jnco things. i dont know how those ever became popular.

trends guilty of:

-hollister clothes. i still have a few flanels to this day (they're pimpin though).

-still have a few grunge flanels too, hard to pull off anymore

-wearing nike/sporty clothes to school was popular in middle school. you'd look like a retard now though

-famous stuff. i have a logo earing and a few shirts. they're kinda corny now

[KG215]

ugh i never had those ugly jnco things. i dont know how those ever became popular.

Screw that. Athletic clothes were and still are better than the extreme preppy look. I went back to that look my junior and senior year to purposely get away from the preppy look. I still prefer a pair of athletic shorts and a t-shirt over a pair of jeans and a polo.

[El Kabong]

I got all my brothers hand me down clothes up until I got taller then him, so i'm sure I had plenty of clothes that were out of style by the time I got around to 'em.

I was a wannabe gangster when I was a teen, so I wore a bunch of baggy clothes.

Dickie pants and shorts with plain white T-shirts, and shorts with tube socks all the way up.

What a dumb kid I was :oldlol:

polos are definitly gay as hell but you still look more presentable for the girls than in some sweats and a tee that says "football is everything". i never really wore polos though, those are a commitment to the preppy look

[pete's montreux]

http://www.wholesalewholesale.com/ballchain/cn6069.jpg

I wore these for years. Used to buy new ones every couple of weeks because they were so cheap, the shine used to rub off.

[baller693]

Polo shirts never really went out of style. I don't consider them a trend of any one type such as preppy or gangster. Majority of guys everywhere own at least one collar, 2-button shirt. Their good if your going out to the bar or with a girl and want to look nice. It's just a normal shirt shirt to wear other than a normal t-shirt, not really a fashion trend that came and went in my opinion. Just as long as guys arn't wearing them tight as hell or popping the collar, then their fine.

[pete's montreux]

I never said Polos, I said popped collars. If you can't pull off a no popped collar shirt than you shouldn't be wearing it.

Actually I read this and said that in response. If he doesn't wear collar shirts then I wonder what type of shirts he does wear other than t-shirt because its' not a commitment to preppy look or any particular look, its just a shirt....

For some reason Tommy Hilfiger was the most popular clothing brand around here in the late 90's-early 00's.


I have a really nice Hilfiger coat. Not really seeing it, they aren't a gimmick brand or something, they have fairly regular sets of clothes.

And my god. That hankerchief around the neck look is awful. Equally awful for men and women.

i dont rock this fashion but have been seeing it alot lately and think its pretty gay

http://www.simplyislam.com/images/pages/50643a.jpg

It's not gay if you're muslim. Otherwise, yeah you're right

[KG215]

polos are definitly gay as hell but you still look more presentable for the girls than in some sweats and a tee that says "football is everything". i never really wore polos though, those are a commitment to the preppy look

I agree. I mean I own 5 or 6 polos and a ac ouple of nice button ups. I don't wear them, though, unless I'm taking a girl out, or somewhere else where I feel a normal t-shirt might be a little under dressed. I tend to attract and be more attracted to the athletic type of girls, so forutnately after a couple of dates with one, I can pull of the athletic look on a much more regular basis because that's how they are most comfortable.

I didn't mean for it to come off that way. Tommy Hilfiger isn't a gimmicky brand at all. They have nice stuff. But for awhile, while I was in junior high, kids wore Tommy Hilfiger more than anything. Their "polos" would always have the Hilfiger logo on the front, and even Hilfiger jeans became popular. Then a few years later it was all about American Eagle and Abercrombie. Now it seems Polo Ralph Lauren has become the brand of choice; mostly among high school and college kids.

Goddamn...I begged my parents for some Doc Martens back in middle school. Good thing they're parents and know what was best for me and didn't buy me a pair.

They were pretty expensive, and when looking back, they aren't very stylish. Yet, I begged and begged my parents for a pair, and finally got some for Christmas one year. I was usually the last person in my "group" of friends that gave in to whatever the latest trends were at the time, because I thought if I didn't they wouldn't be my friends. I learned by 9th or 10th grade, though, I could pretty much wear whatever and they would still be my friends. Just goes to show you how influential we are when we're 13 and 14 years old.

Remember Gotcha, Maui and Sons, bright neon surfer style brands? Beware of this trend because it's gonna make a comeback this summer garaunteed. All we need is a celeb to rock it hard and watch it blow up in America.

Definitely getting another one soon...:pimp:

Starter jackets were f*cking awesome. At no point was that EVER a "bad fashion trend."

[rufuspaul]

:roll:

I must see a picture! hahaha

:lol The goatee was gone just before I met my wife. When we first moved in together pieces of my wardrobe started mysteriously disappearing.

You can see lots of people wearing palestinian scarves like those most everywhere in Europe during winter.

That's already made a semi-comeback. The old school neon colored Raybands and those brightly colored early-90's/late-80's hats are some things I occasionally saw around here last summer.

Wow, I think this has to take the cake.

I won I won...

ooh wait.

Also something maybe that was more-so in my country then anywhere else but here it is, Gabber:

Just the jump-suit and the Air-Maxes though, never went the full-on bald look.

Damn, looking back I'm very happy with my current style...

[SHEED_ gangsta]

I HATE the thick Urkle glasses that these sheep wear, most are not even perscription!!!. when I was about 9 years old I had to wear glasses just like that and got so much shit for it, now it's "IN" and "cool" it's funny how people will do anything to try to fit in.


I also can't stand people wearing skate shoes and apparell that don't skate but that's just me.


people need to just find thier own style and not emulate these clowns on BET and MTV

In my experience, the absolute worst shoes you can use to skate in are skateboard shoes. I honestly just got fed up with buying new shoes every 2 months and just used a pair of Nikes back when I was skating with pretty much the same results.

[SHEED_ gangsta]

yeah that's the way it was in the early 90s and some skaters would use Dr Js Shelltoes Gazzelles ect which is kind of Retarded cuz the Vans Half Cabs were out at the time . but it's not like that now

Yah most skate brands are so cheapily made and wear away in a matter of weeks. Although I guess they are grinding on basically sand paper forever.

I always wore high top nikes for skating.
