baby doll dresses with knee highs or thigh highs
brown Bass shoes
Duck Head ANYTHING
Tommy Hilfiger ANYTHING
umbro shorts
vests, crocheted was best

I also went to HS from 93-97. I agree with the bolded. I remember Duck Head being big in middle school for me.

Also big were:
Cross Colours/Karl Kani, or anything with bright colors
Nikes--the Deon Sanders shoes and the sandles (with socks!)
big shirts and tights
shirts/outfits with Disney/Looney Tunes characters
shirts with the ruffles
chokers
Starter gear
And my senior year, my school decided to go to uniforms. NOT COOL.

I don't know about other schools, but the Nike Presto was cool here for like 5 minutes at some point:



I had the pink ones!

I didn't tackle the fuchsia dress until senior year (2002). Although that fuchsia dress was kick ass and if my boobs weren't too big and I had the occasion I'd wear it again today.

My senior prom dress was pretty kick ass also. It was also fuschia. The back was out and I had pink stick-on jewels in the shape of a heart on my back.

Just thought of some more stuff:

*Those little mini butterfly hair clips. My sophomore year school pic, I wore a lavender top with little lavender butterfly hair clips.

*Twisting your hair up mutiple times and sticking multiple said hair clips in it.

*Those long sweaters with belts.

*Turtlenecks with no sleeves.

*Frosty pink or white eyeshadow, lipgloss, etc.

*Any jewelry from Claire's or Icing.

Which is CRAZY, although I'm loving it.

I remember the girls being really into stretch jeans and slouch socks. Bright colors came back. Baggy jeans and timberlands. Not much has changed, except now boys are wearing "skinny" jeans, but the thugs are still wearing baggy jeans.

I'm 93-97 too! LOL! And, I've already turned 30.

Early/mid 80s - the same things AGDee mentioned plus:

-Long sleeve surfer t-shirts from Ron Jon or some other surf shop
-T shirts with thermals under them (for the stoner jocks [no, this is not an oxymoron])
-Prom and bridesmaid dresses with giant crinolines or hoops - came in after Princess Di's wedding (antidote to the years of Little House on the Prairie looking dresses)

[Phrozen1ne]

94-98

Clothing -Anything Timberland, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, or Nautica,
Pullover v-neck nylon college jackets ( I had Georgetown),

Shoes-Air max 95's, 97's, Fila, Air Force 1's, Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Timberland, wallabees,

Strange accessories: Giga Pets (Never got that one. YIKES.)

I went to high school 1999-2003, so these were the rage:

Plus....

*I forgot what it was called, but it's those jeans where the bottoms looked like the threading was coming off (i don't wanna say fringe...forgot what's its called)

*Flare jeans were the rage! No bootcut, no straightleg, it had to be low-rise flare jeans.

*It was popular here to have not bangs, but 2 little pieces of hair hanging down. You had to have a part in the middle, and then take 2 little pieces from each side of the part and right where your forehead is. My mom said it looked like we had antennas.

*K-Swiss

*Shirts with the sayings on them

*Velour sweatpants. You had to had the jacket and the pants that matched, and they had to be tightly fitted.

*gym/cheer type shorts with the tops folded down. You had to be able to see the white band, and the tag. lol

*Puka shells for the guys

*Jansport backpacks.

1996-2000:

Doc Martin's

Addidas

Phat laces for addidas was a trend that came later

phat jeans/pants made by kikwear and caffeen

knowing what "phat" really meant before it going all over the media

skinny neck ties

sauconys

fleeces for jackets, with the half zip in the front

button down shirts with only one or two buttons closed and the sleves half way rolled up

those hemp rope necklace things with various semi-precisous gems attached

boxer briefs became popular as the male version of the sports bra

layers! people would have four or five different shirts on at a time. All from the same store, otherwise it didn't match.

that's about all I can remember

Neon colored clothing (esp shirts or socks)

2002-6

The only thing I can think of is for girls, the North face black fleece jacket, tights/leggings, and Ugg boots (known as the Trifecta)

Skinny jeans had started to become popular about senior year.

[KSUViolet06]

*Those Old Navy fleece vests (seen in the "Dress you up in my love" commercial)

*Ripped jeans were kind of just taking off (bonus if the top was cut off- see first post).
