Whilst this blog is really aimed at looking at our favorite toys of the 1990’s, we mustn’t forget our ghastly fashion mistakes. I have gone through the family album and pulled out some of the greatest fashion mistakes of the 1990’s:

1. Padded “lumber jack shirt”

Every young male in 1990’s had at least on of these bad boys. I had a red, blue and even one the rarer green varieties. They were warm but needless to say they where hideous and many of us are glad to see the back of it.

2. The bowl cut

Whilst not exactly a piece of clothing, this hair cut defined the 90’s for many us. Barbers no longer needed to spend time and effort getting the right cut when all was needed was a good sized mixing bowl and a razor.

3. The Fleece

Whilst every young male has the lumberjack jacket, everyone else had the fleece. From your great grandmother down to a new born baby everyone had to have it. This led to the fleece now being placed in fashion room 101 for all except middle aged mid-life crisis victims.

4. John Lennon sun glasses

These glasses where what the aviators used to be a year or two ago. John Lennon’s could be seen in the worlds parks,shops,bars and even in the ecstasy fueled raves that the decade was so famous for.

5. Baseball Caps

Ok i know people still wear baseball caps but not like they did in the 1990’s! We wore them everywhere and anywhere. It was not just the chav/pike class that wore them back in the day! It was cool to wear a cap in a bar/club rather than a statement that you wanted to beat the shit out everyone. New anti-cap rules have led to a real reduction in baseball caps but mainly their downfall was due to people realizing they looked like chumps.
