While we’re (often) on the subject of fashion, here’s a look back onto some popular looks of the past, and just trying to wrap my brain around them. Perhaps a kind reader could shed some light onto these fashion choices, which sometimes were no more than a flash in the pan.
Loony Toons Shirts
This was the wild shit for a while back in fifth or sixth grade, circa 93-94. All the “tough kids” with baggy pants wore shit like this. How was that supposed to be tough, though?!
We be thuggin'
Every Team Ever Apparel
Frank Antonoff Rules.
Can’t decide what team you like? Just like sports in general? How about a just wearing a hat/jacket/jeans (SEEN ‘EM) with logos of every imaginable team ever on it? Makes no sense. Plus, the way they are hap hazardly stiched all willy-nilly just makes it even worse.
Chuck Taylor Heels
Pretty sure these were popular for a hot second back in the early- to mid-2000s. Seriously. Not much commentary necessary.
I'd like to see Bob Cousy play in these
Wrap-Around Sunglasses
Hey, Doc, can you tell me how the future is? It looks like you’re playing Virtual Boy.
Greetings, Earthlings
Nerdy Silk Shirts
These were in abundance at my college. Some had Dragon Ball Z Characters on them. Most had dragons or at least flames. One dude’s was awesome, because it had a tiger on it.
Dudes who wear this definitely like final fantasy
Plugs
These were never cool. Just…disgusting. Why are they still popular here in Chicago?! At least this guy has another sexual option at his disposal.
It's like a black hole to a new dimension
Well that’s all for this segment. I’m sure i’ll think of more soon.
