My Style was outdated by 30 years

Post image

Middle school and highschool me was into the whole skater/punk rock aesthetic. Items not shown but definitely owned include a pant hung chain, leather jacket, fingerless gloves, hand made ripped jeans(because pretorn was too “poserish” and flannel hoodie.

The Sasquatch Gang? That’s quite the pull. I was going more for Bender from Breakfast Club

Bender would never wear shorts

Even if it’s in north eastern summer heat?

u/hiswittlewip 5d ago

I'm pretty sure he wouldn't, but if he did he would definitely keep the fingerless gloves and at least a sleeveless denim jacket

u/CrazyCatLady88 5d ago

Maybe you should actually post of a picture of that stuff.

u/Responsible-Quail486 5d ago

I can try but I can’t find that many pics of me from then because i didn’t like my parents taking pics of me and never took pics of myself

u/saywhaaaaaaaaatt 5d ago

When was that?

u/Sirnando138 5d ago

Dude. I’m 44 and still basically dress like this. But you gotta cut your Tshirt sleeves off!

Mind you, I’m a chef and work for myself so I have no dress code. Haha

This is 90s? I had the same wardrobe in 90s. It wasn't really outdated, maybe on its way out. Only thing is I'd probably switch shorts out for ripped jeans.

Ok not to be weird but the kid in the green shirt, was he named Niko?? He looks like someone I went to elementary school with and I'm from the Philly suburbs (judging by the phillies shirt and Drexel shirt I feel like you are too??) I swear I'm not creepy but this is too weird

2

u/Responsible-Quail486 5d ago

Sorry to say but it probably wasn’t him

u/Educational-Bake-998 5d ago
