the "craziest" fashion trend you've ever followed? 🤔

From time to time I think how foolish I must have looked in my navy and white mini dress and crazy-patterned tights. At the time I thought I was chic but now I remember it as a ludicrous outfit. In second place was my olive green crushed velvet bell bottoms and my silver peasant blouse with matching olive green trim. I thought I was a great hîppie wannabe but, in reality, I wasn't.

Paper tent (A-line) mini dresses in the mid sixties. Mine was yellow and white.

Mid-thigh length skirts. Can't believe I wore them; although, I was young, I'd never wear them at any age today.

Brown maxi-length winter coat. At 5'2", I must have resembled a tree trunk.

no idea why but it was always the dumb shoes i saved up my babysitting money for weeks to buy.

9th grade i got a pair of platform mules. Could not walk - just inched along. but they looked cool.

they were Navy suede - worn with super short mini's. pretty close to the in the pic.. the vamp went up a bit higher

what can i say it was the 70s

When I was in 7th grade, I was the first girl in grammar school to have a Ben Casey blouse. That was a big deal because alll the girls wanted one. lol

Back in the 70s...knee high sherpa lined suede boots with my pants tucked into the boots. My husband and I had to leave a play at the intermission because I was SO HOT!

@DesertGems I wore window pane fishnet stockings with a navy wool mini skirt. I remember owing both navy and white window panes.

You really have to have long thin legs to pull these off!

ETA: I certainly couldn't pull that look off now! Hahaha!

I don't know that this was ever really a fashion trend but knee socks! And knee socks with rubber bands to hold them up when the elastic wore out😜

And my friends and I always admired Twiggy. We all 3 got these blue and white checked mini skirts with huge wide platinum fake leather belts. It was fun but we really didn't look like Twiggy lol!

Hot pants, I had a pair that were super short. So short that I wore nude colored tights under them for modesty. They were a tweed yellow and orange color...yuck!

I must have looked good ( I was about 16-17) because a younger neighborhood boy got excited and pulled down my hot pants when we were alone. ( it's a good thing I was wearing tights)

I made him go home and he was so sorry and embarassed that he did that. I still see him once in a while and he will not look me in the eye. I have never mentioned it to him again, but he is super uncomfortable around me.

I think the craziest has to be the exaggerated shoulder pads from the 1980's, with a 1970's halter top coming in 2nd.

@smoochy When I was in 6th grade, my mom bought my BFF and me matching pink paper dresses. We wore them at the block party that summer & tossed them afterward. They were fun whimsy dresses.

Baby doll dress with black lace up doc martins. So ridiculous, but I thought i was something special.

Hubby and I were in Kohls returning an item to Amazon. We passed the clothing area and he saw jeans that "had holes in them." Both men and womens sections. If he were answering this post I think it would be just that. He wanted to know if the price was reduced "because the items were damaged." I better not wear the one pair I have. LOL

I wore these with mini dresses when I was a teen in the sixties. 😊

In high school I dyed my very long hair jet black and sprayed silver streaks in it. Yikes. Now I don't need to spray silver streaks, they came naturally.
