I'm not really that old but the two people who won "best dressed" my senior year of high school wore nothing but American Eagle, A&F, and Aeropostale.

well you graduated high school in a period that was an all time low for casual fashion

>>3708799

The 90s were pretty awful for street fashion. It peaked during the time raves were all the rage near the end of the decade.

>that feel when you were guilty of wearing Twin Cannon JNCOs, Plastik shirts and worn FILAs but didn't give a fuck anyway because you were rollin' like there was no tomorrow

I wish I could go back in time to my Freshman year of high school and retain nothing but my brain. It would be my wonderful secret. I would re-live life from then up to this point.

The late 90s/early 2000s were a very sad time, as far as American fashion goes.

Am i the only one on this board that likes what AE has been selling lately? sure they still have graphic tees and stuff, but since like the last year their stuff has gotten more... mature for lack of a better word

This is true, they're really trying to market to Ivy kids like A&F

28 yo here

/fa/ as fuck in high school

mostly jcrew and banana republic hugo boss were among my faves a few purple labels ysl pieces for the real fancy nights

well i did go to school in Manhattan and most kids are /fa/ as fuck there

The people who won best dressed at my highschool were hipsters.

I also got more pussy than you, most likely.

>>3708934

well I am a girl. So that's a yeah. But seriously they were the pathetic whining kind who sat in the corner of their room crying to Xiu Xiu and Joy Division and Morrisey.

I had a Jurassic park t-shirt with a raptor on it from Jc Penny. That shit was awesome.

Good lord, I remember those Jnco tent pants.

I was tall and thin, and for some reason I thought that meant I should wear L and XL everything lol.

Also I remember risking being called gay if you wore anything that wasn't extremely baggy. Maybe the more recent skinny jean fad was a reaction to that.

Also, are juggalos those '90s Jnco kids who grew older but never grew up?

>Also, are juggalos those '90s Jnco kids who grew older but never grew up?
Haha, probably.

Also, in most fly-over states, wearing anything slimmer than xbox huge jeans will get you called out for wearing skinny jeans even today.

>that feel when we wear uniform in high school

We wear a red blazer with a sweater inside.
I usually never wear the sweater because it's hot.

LOL I remember "Get Used
brand, and "skids" Karl Kanai..., dude Im old LOL..

>>3709438
Seriously, there's tons of faggots still repping the mid/late 90s mall goth look in my town. Our Hot Topic barely even sells the skinny jeans, but this might be because there a lot of porkers.

almost 23

it was different back then for sure

abercrombie and fitch was real big, LFO singing about it etc.

the "emo" look was big with some of the kids, but the jeans they wore were really women's jeans

510 were still baggy and the 501 look was pre= current cut with the 501 tag in the center like it is now

DC shoies were big, and steve-o's brand sneux skate shoes were big until about 2007

the "cool" kids used to carry a binder, no baf or anything and always bumb a pen off someone

so there were alot of kids with my chemical romance, greenday pictures in their binfers on display

greenday graphic shirt with a red tie tied incorrectly

women did it too to mimick avril lavegne

blacks wore alot of bape and newera

It was all about Venom baggy jeans, huge Globe skateshoes and oversized hoodies by any skatebrand possible.

We basicly all looked like Fred Durst.

Good times, good times.

>>3708799
29 represent. Shit was baggy as fuck in the '90s, but people DID care how fashionable they looked. It was just fashionable for hip, young kids to wear baggy clothes. Trends come and go, but high school kids will always be about 85% impressionable brandwhores who just want to fit in. No biggie.

it seems like to me everyone here just simply shopped at JC penny and doesn't have any idea what was actually considered cool... i mean sure that stuff was popular, but does anyone now think stuff from JC penny is cool?

anyways, there were a few kids that were super artsy and they pretty much looked like your typical early indie kids. chucks, skinny jeans that were probably their sisters, thrifted sweaters over their "outdated" plaid shirts from a year ago when they were grunge.
