If you grew up going out in the late 90s/early 00s, you’ll know we really did accept a LOT of discomfort in the name of fashion.
- Heels you could hardly walk in (no trainers in sight!!)
- Jeans or mini skirts you could barely breathe in.
- B**b tubes you spent all night pulling up.
- Tiny tops with a bit of string holding them up!
- Ridiculous tiny bag that held absolutely nothing.
- Fake tan that was several shades too orange and verry patchy.
Looking back, some of those outfits were questionable (and frankly, quite indecent!) but there was something brilliant about the whole ritual of getting dressed up. I just loved getting ready with the girls for a night out!
So, have I missed one?
What did you wear for a night out back then that was completely impractical, wildly uncomfortable or that you now look back on and think… what were we thinking?
