I thought they had been banned due to crimes against fashion? Please never let them come out again.

Legend has it they're manufactured from the discarded shells of crabs used to make crab sticks.

Or something....🤷‍♂️

Brb, just off to swipe a VW badge for my gold chain.

The perfect accessory for a shell suit

Middx/Herts borders-ish or thereabouts !

Never had a shell suit, but I do still have a tracksuit made by Hummel that I bought in 1990 which I can still get into (though the bottoms are, how can I put, a bit "figure hugging" these days)

I had a couple of these as a hip teenager. My favourite was a dark blue adidas one that I wore everywhere.

I’m pleased they haven’t joined the fashion merry-go-round but, on reflection, they really aren’t as bad as a lot of what I see.

I say we bring back jeans with pink and yellow fluorescent turn ups.
