    Tripp pants. Worst things in the world. Anything with footless leggings, but especially shorts. With leggings.

    These pointless things:

    Oh, and a big thing among guys was not washing their hair because it "held better". Gross.

    In the 8th grade. LA gears with the fifty miles of shoelaces were all the rage. Let's not forget hyper-color shirts!

    High school... Hmmm. Flare leg jeans for girls. Baggy jeans for boys.Tshirts. Tank tops. Anything with a cheesy trendy logo. I went to a high school in a small town so that would include anything from a generic mall and nothing to consider really fashionable/beautiful. Skin tight short stuff for the ladies (which I did not partake in) and baggy stuff for the boys, where you couldn't tell if their shorts were actual shorts, or flood length pants. Flip flops, adidas.

    Girls hair would always be straightened...curls were so out :-P

    I graduated in 2004, so I'm sure they're still wearing the same things in that town.
