Looking at old photos and seeing the clothes we used to wear makes many of us cringe… “Ohh my goodness!” – “Dreadful!” – “What was I thinking?” I had a couple of what was I thinking (WWIT) classics from the 80s:
WWIT Classic #1: a formal silver jacket with shoulder pads. I wore this for my college interview and it certainly turned heads. I felt like I belonged in a Miami Vice scene, but looking back, I was more like Metal Mickey’s sidekick.
WWIT Classic #2: a waterproof hooded tracksuit in yellow and black. I was sporting this whilst at college. It looked cool and colourful at the time, but looking back, it seemed I was auditioning for a role as a bumble bee.
Even though my choice of clothes back in the 80s failed the test of time, there were lots of chic clothes available that wouldn’t be cringeworthy whilst flicking through the family photo album: take a look below at the selection from 1988… fashion, turn to the left, fashion, turn to the right…
