There's been a thread like this before where I mentioned them trouser things with the skirt attached to them and no one else remembered them and I feel like I must of made some bad fashion item up in my head but I remember them vividly! Hideous they were.

EVERYTHING in the mid to late nineties was Spice Girls. Lollypops, cans of fizzy drink, magazines, top of the pops, the cinema. It was spice everything!

I loved Party of Five. I was going to marry Bailey.

Also those bomber jackets with the orange lining (I never had owned one) and all the boys getting banned from wearing Spliffy jeans to school on non uniform days.

Bootcut jeans were big weren't they? I remember them always dragging along the floor under flat shoes. Much prefer skinnies.
