What trends did you follow when you were younger ?

Fashion , hairstyles or even the certain words that you felt yourself copying ?

Fashion ... big Bros fan lol , grolsch bottle tops on my dm's lol , big curly hair that was hairsprayed within an inch of its life (why !!!) to name a few ...

C'mon don't be shy ...

I don't recall following a trend ....

My musical and fashion tastes were firmly planted in 60's culture .....

I suppose I should admit to briefly having a mullet but I don't want to elaborate on that ....

Shell suits were a thing in my youth. Gladly I avoided it and went down the Dm boots and short flared skirt look

Haha before I read the full OP I was already thinking grolsch bottle tops on my dm's.

In my teens it was the skater boy look, huge baggy jeans. Other than that I've not really followed many trends

I'm notorious for just doing my own thing. I always have done. I have hair that has a mind of it's own so couldn't have followed any hairstyle trends even if I wanted to. I had long hair in a ponytail for quite a few years (what the hell was I thinking) when it most definitely wasn't fashionable. Stuff tends to happen organically for me. I get into things when I fancy it not because it's trendy to do so. I'm a bit of an oddball, always have been.

I was a grunge kid in my teens, long blonde hair, eyebrow piercing.

Some girls at college were very affectionate but kept calling me kurt.

Haha. Grolsch bottle tops. That's about the time I bought picture jeans. Remember flinstones on each thigh? I then thought, what am I doing walking around with Garfield in my leg for. (There's a joke there somewhere )that was a fad that I followed. I'm generally do my own thing. I'm glad beards came into fashion, because I've been looking like a scruff for years.

Oh lots over the years, started with the tartan trews and the Bay city rollers. Then did all the 50's look when grease came out. Then the gypsy skirts and cheesecloth blouses. Then came the ruffle blouses with the New Romantics. And the big perms x

When I was a young teen I had a lovely collection of ra-ra skirts. Then I started listening to lots of different types of music and went a bit gothy so never really followed any trends. I'm quite pleased about that

Had one of those "bomber" jackets the "hard" kids would wear back in school. Coincidentally enough I was never picked on despite being a nerd

At college I had overly baggy jeans, but not the kind that would show as much boxers as possible, the ones that would get torn away from being too long

There and to the left a bit

Only fashion I really followed (and still do to an extent) was the late seventies/early eighties Mod/Two Tone thing - so Fred Perry's and Ben Sherman button downs (before they cost you the arm and a leg they do now), two tone trousers, tassled loafers, bowling shoes, grandad cardigans, Harrington/green nylon flight jacket etc. - jeans HAD to be 501s (still do now).

I'm definately more a trail blazer than a trend follower...

Never been one to follow trends, fashions or people/ ideas . Always preffered to dance to my own beat.

In my mid teens it was amazing that I could see through the curtains hairdo I had. Also, the jeans were rather baggy.

And very early teens... I had a shell suit

Good topic OP

I didn't really follow any trends tbh always did my own thing. I suppose fashion and hairstyles could be something, but I do what I can with what I have

Northern soul and still into it in a big way now

Although it wasn't a trend it was more underground

Unfortunately it's become a trend the last few years with the music in tv adds etc and these people come and go but I still see those from 30 plus years ago at all nighters and it's great

I never conciously followed trends but pre-internet I bought and wore what I could find in local shops so the choices were somewhat limited (bar the occasional charity shop find). I never wore a shell suit, but to my lasting shame, I did once have a perm. I don't know what I was thinking.

I removed an earring when it seemed to be getting more popular among my friends. I'm definitely not a follower.

This forum's a bit popular for my tastes, too.
