What was your look in high school?

[gorgekko]

I was in high school during the mid- to late 1980s and was, oddly enough for someone living in northern Canada, a surf bum.

Like the guy in my avatar when I wasn't at school. I went to a private Catholic school where expressing one's self wasn't exactly encouraged.

I mostly wore some crap that was available in the supermarket. I used to hate shopping when I was younger, I only started to become interested in clothing when I started at the university (that would be 12 years ago).

Who the hell could afford Versace in high school?

I wore Polo shirts, whatever jeans were in vogue -- Sevens, Energie, etc. and Pumas.

I guess we were fortunate (spoiled), our parents had the money, and just threw it at us. My parents wouldn't flinch when I "decided" that I needed another pair of gators or a new bracelet, I'd just use their credit cards and go crazy. My friends and I were a bit competitive about shopping--which didn't help, either.

Plaid shirt from Sears Roebucks and Levi's with rolled up cuffs and cheap leather shoes from Sears Roebucks.

Seems to be much different from what you wear every day now, Kitonbrioni.

I wore an unkempt full beard, cheap levis, tent-sized tshirts, a face full of acne, and an extra hundred pounds. Needless to say, things have have improved for me in the seven years since then.
