What was the worst fashion/fad you can remember?

Bellbottoms, jelly sandals, plastic charm bracelts, jheri curl. They were in style than but not now. Did you take part in these trends?

Thumbs up Bringing back memories

JELLY SANDALS!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how I remember digging in a barrel to find some my size. Only to have them fall apart the next day from me playing in them. What about the jeans with patches of leather or suede on them?

I'm kinda young, but for me, I'd say "cross colors." the big baggy shorts w/ big blocks or red, orange, green, blue, etc.

Two-toned or acid washed jeans. I had a blue shearling that I loved but now I am thinking back and shaking my head.

I'm an 80s baby, so I'm going to say NEON everything. We had a girl in my school who would wear so many different neon colours together that one of my teachers called her "Kool-Aid"

Oh, and another one -- the big Madonna style cross jewelry. I have to say that I had a couple of pairs of cross earrings that I'd mis-match and wear.

I had a curl!!!
I also wore:
A Michael Jackson red leather jacket
Leg warmers
extra-tight jeans (the Jordash look)
ankle boots with my jeans tucked into them
2-3 pair of layered socks (you had to see each color)
Izod or Polo shirts (with the collar flipped up)
an earring with a key (a la Miss Jackson)
2-3 triangle shapped earrings in each ear (a la Salt and Pepper)
Flashdance style loose sweat shirts
Penny loafers with quarters in them

I could go on and on...

Where to start?

Let's see...

Big, poofy bangs
Poodle perms
slap bracelets
scrunch socks
jeans rolled at the ankle, with like 5 pairs of different colored socks underneath
big huge NKOTB pins
acid-wash anything
off-the-shoulder shirts
T-shirts tied with a big ol' knot or clip on the side
crimped hair in a banana clip...

Sadly, this was all stuff I used to wear in elementary school

AXiD4Life, it's not nice to make fun of just about every single girl I went to high school with.

I was a mix between Goth, New Wave and Punk in high school. I wore lots of black, slouched, and generally looked ticked off all of the time.

Exclamation

1. Black patent leather shoes
2. Legwarmers (tell me why I was on my way to my friend's house and I saw some white chick wearing them; and she was old enough to know better!)
3. Hammer pants (nuff said!)
4. Any Salt -N- Pepa hairstyle
5. Patra braids (and where is she now anyway?)
*6. Denim jeans where girls wrote on the back, "DON'T TOUCH!", even though some of the girls who wore those pants weren't all that cute.

*= new addition

That's all I can think of for now. I'll post another ray of sunshine soon!!

Worst Fad/Fashion

My neighbor...Oh my goodness I wish you guys could see this man!!!! He is stuck in the 70's...He wears these funky colored suits with those crazy colored shirts...He leaves his shirt unbuttoned so he can show off his hairy chest along with his gold chain with this big zodiac medallion hanging from it!!! He walks around sporting this afro with the afro pic in his head....Oh it gets better he thinks he is the "Mac Daddy" of arkansas...
