I couldn't find a section for fashion as such so posting it in Chit-Chat...

But I hardly remember fashion in the nineties at all. Seventies and eighties yes, but the nineties just seem to have vanished from memory. I wish dungarees would come back though; I'd wear mine more then.

90s fashion was a real hotch-potch of different trends – grunge, hip hop, sportswear – and it all crashed together in an ugly cacophony of plaid, chokers and Reebok classics.
And yet the shops have been sneaking 90s gear back onto the shelves, like they think we won’t notice. Over the past few weeks I’ve seen plastic chokers, floral denim and ugly clompy shoes that have all but swallowed up floor space previously reserved for daintier footwear.
1. Flatforms
I.e. platform shoes but without the heel. Also known as ankle snappers, these beasts just look odd – and they make your feet look massive (size 8 already over here, gang way).
2. Chokers
A little velvet choker can look cute, but those nasty plastic ones need to be banished to the fashion graveyard – not least for their hair-snagging tendencies.
3. Spaghetti strap dresses
They actually look great, but they’re massively impractical – especially for those with larger chests.
4. Plaid
Inoffensive but dull.
5. New adventurous hair partings
Centre partings are workable, zigzag partings less so.
6. Khaki
So Gap.
7. Long sleeved cropped tops
One of the more mysterious fashion revivals, given that only teenagers can pull them off. Just about manageable when paired with a matronly skirt.
8. Over the knee socks
Look really cute but can only be worn with tiny skirts.
9. Wet look hair
That slicked back look that speaks of a thousand lie ins and not one bottle of shampoo.
10. Dungarees
Dungarees are only back to ease us out of the onesie era.
11. Floral denim
The remix nobody asked for.
12. Crushed velvet
Naff.
13. Front tie shirts
britney
Mixed undertones of ‘sexy school girl’ and ‘hay bale enthusiast’. Not necessarily bad things but the right context is essential.
14. Deliberately ugly shoes
Intended to be ironic, but produce a clumpy thick-footed effect.
15. Double denim
We just couldn’t let it go. C’est la Vie.
16. Matching separates
*COUGH* Pyjamas.
17. Button front skirts
If you went to one of those schools where the lads would pull your skirt open you’ll understand.
