A Fashion Statement You'll Never Hear The End Of

spic-ole

Not too long ago, I was having some beers with a Calecia.com member and he confessed that he felt my rad threads weren't as fashionable as they could be. I don't doubt him, I'm sure in a few years I'll look back and think, "Damn early millenium!"

The other day I was looking through an old yearbook and I spotted some pretty interesting styles from the early to mid 90's.

Don't play dumb C.com users, you know what I'm talking about with your thin mustaches you swore looked cool, your Stussy berets, and "Hammer Pants," can't forget about the "Hammer Pants."

Any other regrettable styles you can remember? Ricky Martin highlights maybe?

What about the Looney Tunes apparel? Man, those were so cool back when I was about 11-12 years old, yet I'm still pretty ashamed of having worn them.

This is an embarrassing one, I remember when I was in 3rd-4th grade it was "cool" for a guy to wear "Tights". I got to admit, I made my mom buy me a pair of black tights with green lines on the sides cause my friends were wearing them.

You can't forget those mexican ponchos they sold at the border with Bart Simpson and other characters painted on them.

Another one would be guys having long bangs, sorrta like Soda Estereo, The Cure etc...

How about those checkered laceless shoes from payless? Anybody a victim of that "fashion"? I was and damn proud of it.

I don't know if this would be considered a fashion, but did anyone collect like 10-40 bottle caps of Pepsi or Coca Cola and trade them in along with about 10 pesos for cups with images of duncab dhu, miguel mateos, soda estereo, etc...?

Guess Overalls.

1 on the sides, and long hair on the top.

Mustard color.

This is my all-time favorite. Sporting a cap, but making sure that you left some wavy hair sticking out in the front. This was done by carefully and skillfully putting your cap from left to right. It was a science.

Wearing overalls with one strap hanging down.

Flat tops.

Lines on the side of your head, zig zags etc...

Girls wearing swatches that were different colors, one watch for every outfit.

yeah, I'm the Ricky Martin highlight mother fucker verbal was talking about. I'd get them again if it weren't so damn expensive.

You guys haven't mentioned the lime green, yellow, orange cross colors pants.

When africa was "cool" and people would wear a fucking leather necklace that had africa on it.

One word homies: Creepers, bonus for the ones that had fake cow on them.

buying doc martins by how many holes they had to lace up.
