Oh god,I had a jacket in that style, would have been about that time
jYes, very popular at the time amongst the sorts who were into U2 and Simple Minds. The sort who left school and went to work in menswear stores/departments or office work (in our young minds anyway).
Our lot were more into breakdancing/funk/soul etc. and had the long perms and Fila track suits/flame Nike Omega trainers etc.
We loved to hate the Simple minds lot, or U2-ies as we used to call them, as they were a lot closer to the girls which we all used to fancy.
I quite like a bit of Simple Minds from that era now though...

I know we've done 80-s fashion, but does anyone remember the 80s trousers with little flecks of colour in the weave?
About 1985-6 from memory?
These drove teachers crazy back in the day. The way they screamed and shouted when a kid turned up to school in them was hilarious. One particularly mental fat teacher even burst into tears mid-rant as if the flecks are the work of the devil.About 1985-6 from memory?

Girls (1990s). Wearing leotards with jeans over them. It looked like they were wearing a top.
When you went for a quick delve you found access to the fun bits was barred by Lycra.
It made a fumble on a park bench, behind a pub, or a bus/train/back of a taxi nigh on impossible.
If you got invited back the leotard increased the uncertainty as to whether you were actually going to get a cup of instant coffee or a fun filled night of carnal delight.

Cider in the park, young ladies, get paired off, arrange some alone time.
A kiss and a fumble.
And then what's this? some sort of lyrca, all in one, barrier - oh there's poppers at the bottom. Hallelujah, smelly fingers
