What fashion trend you followed was very cool then, but now looks ridiculous?

This BID caught my attention and I thought I would blog, I feel a bit rusty and feel like I need to get my creative juices flowing again :-) This was a simple enough topic to start with, so here goes.

In a nutshell, anyone that knows me knows that I am more likely to buck the trend than follow the masses. This is especially true of fashion. I know my body type and complexion, I know what looks good on me and what I cannot wear without looking incredibly stupid, so I stick to what works.

I tend to be a minimalist and typically go for comfort and simplicity over any trendy styles. And the majority of the time? That comfort and minimalism transcends any fashion trends, as it will never go out of style!

But, to answer the question: the one thing I do remember wearing in junior high school (in the late 80s) was leggings under denim skirts. Hey-- it was GREAT for keeping me warm on cooler days while enabling me to still wear skirts. But yeah, looking back, it was definitely one of those "stereotypical 80s" fashion trends, many of which need to die a permanent death :-P
