Fashion: the prevailing style (as in dress) during a particular time.
First grade:
For class pictures, Mom makes me wear this god awful brown cowboy shirt and corduroy ("poor man's velvet") pants that “zip zip” while I walk, along with my cousin Derek’s hand-me-down saddle shoes (I got beat up that day). What I really wanted to wear was my “Chips” t-shirt and my favorite pair of jeans (Toughskins), and to stomp around in my dingo boots (another hand-me-down).
Till I hit grade 8, clothes were just something to cover yourself with, and if an article of clothing was festooned with a superhero, you were BADASS.
But then all the sudden things changed, and the FADs attacked
Vuarnet, Chip’n’Pepper, Ron Jons, Attitude Dude, and Fido Dido t- shirts.
Zubaz (what's cooler than looking like a neon zebra from the waist down), and MC Hammer pants.
Pinned jeans, with canvas Keds.
Baseball caps with the tag still attached.
Reebok Pumps (Did they serve a purpose? Nope, not at all... were they cool? Undoubtedly!)
Oakley Blades (Everyone had these shades, whether they were the real expensive ones, or a cheap knockoff, you had to have them.)
Swatch Watches (These watches typified the 80's.)
Hypercolor shirts (I'd buy one now if they came back out with it. Seriously, it's like having 2 different colored shirts... at the same time.)
During my last few years of high school I threw the Fad monkey off my back and adopted what I call Canuck Chic, which consisted of:
T-shirt
NHL logo cap
NHL hockey jersey (hockey team is chosen during a blood filled ceremony, during a full moon in your thirteenth year, I cant tell you more, I’ve already said too much).
Lumberjack jacket (red or green)
Steel-toed boots (the purpose of these was to assert that you are in fact a *BAD MUTHER FUKER, and were prepared to “lay the boots” to anyone who fuked with you)
But now my favorite clothes consist of various Hawaiian shirts and army/cargo pants, along with comfortable t-shirts and turtlenecks.
What’s were/are your favorite threads, ever succumb to any fads?
*Although I was a BAD MUTHER FUKER, I never got to bootfuk anyone (SAD FACE).

Cargo pants and safari shirts. Hiking boots. Beat up brown leather jacket. Sort of an Indiana Jones look.

I had a Swatch watch. I even had the gay little rubber-band things that wrapped around the face to "protect" it.
Nowadays I'm all about the jeans and the steel-toes. Turtlenecks. Hoodies. In the summer, I have a pair of cutoff cammies that I'm sure everyone is tired of seeing me in but I don't give a fuk because they complete me.
In fact, there was a Halloween party a few years ago where several nigers came dressed as me -- complete w/ faux hawaiian shirt, camo shorts, and anything sprayed in their hair to approximate me.
(Fags.)

My sister always told me that I "missed the fashon train". Not knowing there was a fashon train, that might explain my lack of friends during my school years.
I like to wear hats. The kind of hats that you NEVER want to sit behind at a moive theater or live performance. It does not matter whatever I wear under the hat, as long as I think it "goes" together. It's all about the hat. I put together my outfits around my hats. I buy clothes to compliment my hats. I have too many shoes, but probably less than other women. I am looking for a good ol' pair of FMP's to complete my wardrobe. Have they gone out of style? I'll have to ask my sister....

I still wear my Doc Martin steel toes, but I also have two pair of Nike ACG boots that Rock Out.

My wardrobe revolves around comfort, which in central ny usually means staying warm and dry, so it's mostly jeans, t-shirts, hiking boots, fleece, hoodies and big chamois shirts, and so it has been since forever. When all the grunge shit happened, my clothes were suddenly fashionable. By the time I realized this, it was over, but I was still warm and dry.
As far as trends go, I had a chewbacca t-shirt in 1978, which made me cool for about 30 seconds until it rendered me invisible to girls. Sorry chewie. In the early 80's I occasionally wore ripped up jeans with suit jackets and skinny ties, and danced by leaping high into the air. Later I had a long duster coat which was cool until bon jovi gayed it all up. So much for fashion. |

I have never been too trendy: I always felt silly and self concious attempting to be part of any fashion craze. I bought a pair of Doc Martins once, they were the most uncomfortable things I have ever worn. Doc Martin, meet Mr. Goodwill bin. |

When I was six, I noticed my older brother had a pair of jeans with rips in them. I put a rip in the knee of mine, and my mom beat me.

I don't care a great deal about fashon trends now. I aint got the time or energy for it. At work it's business casual. Khakis and some sort of patterned dress shirt--except for meetings off site or in Harrisburg, when a suit is the best choice. (A lot of politicking and schmoozing in this job).
I guess I mostly tried to do the preppy thing in HS--khakis, Docksiders and izod shirts. I think I had a Swatch too, and checkered Vans. I went to Catholic school, so we always had to dress within certain guidelines. I also seem to remember having a penchant for wearing skinny ties with wing-tip shirts.

Knit hats, baseball hats, t-shirts and baggy jeans/khakis (pants have to fit over my shoe - I hate crumpled jeans ontop of the shoe). I love me a nice thick ribbed sweater in the winter and tank-tops in the summer. As far as shoes, usually boots in the winter and white sneakers in the summer.
Vas, I have a pair of khaki shorts that everyone around me must get sick of during the summer. When my wife can pry them off of me and wash them, I'll practically stay home until they are dry and ready to wear again. It's like that baseball hat that smells like sweat and shit but you still wear it until it falls apart. Comfort is #1.

Jordache were the only jeans I owned back then. Now its any brand of jeans and a t-shirt with a pocket for my smokes. Tennis shoes must be name brand and white.

I was all about vans and converse as a wannabe skate rat, and jeans tore up the honest way.
but there are some photos around of the parachute pants days in middle school.. although I couldn't break dance for shit.
now it's a hell of a lot of gay ass 'aloha shirts'. well, I used to think they were gay anyway.. perhaps now we are simply both gay.
favorite jeans are some tore up diesel's from years ago before they were so expensive. comfortable. and always a ripped knee. I have a kick in my walk or mutant knee bone or something.. heh.
everyone here wears 'slippers' which are sandals, flipflops, etc..

Keeping it simple, mainly jeans with plain shirts, buttoned down shirts (worn out as hell) with a wide array (meaning 3) of hoodies. Footwear consists of my crazt strong gortex hiking boots which have gone through many a marsh and river, and or my current pair of sneakers which are always on the verge of falling apart, even if they are new.
In HS it was mostly the same, only a lot more black was involved. But, really, a whole lot of black is still involved.

Chip n Pepper are apparently making a comeback. I had no idea they were once popular, but their jeans ($150+) are starting to get pretty popular. BTW I'm pretty sure they only make men's jeans. |
