What was the worst fashion/fad you can remember?

[DC_Zeta1920]

swim shoes worn for purposes other than swimming

2.99 Fisherman's net slippers

Parasuco Jeans

I was looking through some photo albums and remembered these:

Overalls (sometimes wearing them backwards)
Excessive bright scrunchies
Wearing mix-matched cuffed socks (like if you were wearing a pink and purple outfit, you would cuff your purple sock on top and pink on the bottom for the right foot and purple on bottom and pink on top for the left foot.)

With a pink and purple scrunchie in your bun of course!

How about the 8-ball (or worse, the traffic sign) jackets?

Damn did I despise those jackets... I had "forgetten" them until this reminder.

I was not a fan of Ugg boots either. Especially when people wore them in the summer.

Jelly Sandals
LA Gears (The ones that have the different colored shoe strings and light up)
Jerhi Curl (I had one)
Skorts

I don't know what they were called but the haircuts that were'stacked' all the way around but left a long piece in the back..MC Lyte used to rock this style...Oh, god that was horrible!! LOL

Oh, god..the Jeri curl...I hate to admit it but I had one for a long time...my mom would not let me change it!!

3 pairs of socks for every color you had one that day!!

Remember those little backpacks that were used as purses?

I can't remember the name, but tshirts that would change colors when someone touched them.

The shorts that said 'can't touch this' on the back.

The balloon-like jumpsuits that we wore in the late 80's/early 90's.

Sweatshirts from "The Limited" that said "If it doesn't say Forenza, its not".

Of course, one couldn't tell us that we weren't cute, lol.

I don't know if this is a Chicago thing or not but the rubber bands around the ankle of your pants. WHHHHY?
