But beyond these wincing examples lays the real culprit of the 20th Century\u2019s last decade \u2013 the God-awful fashions that in hindsight leave us all with the burning question &#8212; what were we wearing? Granted each decade has its own fashion faux pas to reconcile, but at least most other time periods could be credited for having a modicum of character. Trendy clothing in the 1990s seems to have been made for either out-of-touch soccer moms or the homeless. Here are some of the, um, &#8220;interesting&#8221; trends of the decade.

Hammer may not be remembered for his vast contributions to music, but he will forever go down in history as the man who brought possibly one of the worst clothing items of all time to popularity. Hammer Pants, also known to some as Diaper pants, first came on the scene in the late 1980s, but carried over into the first part of the 1990s.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cButton Your Fly\u201d Shirts<\/strong>: OK, so this is just a campaign slogan printed on a T-shirt \u2013 how bad can it be? Well, considering the level of saturation these shirts had in the market, pretty bad. Rough cotton, an unflattering cut, and the fact that people tended to sport the shirt smugly and with a suppressed giggle at the slogan\u2019s suggestiveness, renders this fad a shoe-in for the garbage pile.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/query.nytimes.com\/gst\/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE1DE143BF931A15754C0A967958260\">Neon Colors<\/a><\/strong>: It\u2019s possible to debate whether or not the popularity of neon colors can be attributed to the 1980s or the 1990s, but personal memories place this trend squarely in the late and early part of both. Unique\u00a0shades of pink, green, and what was bewilderingly classified as yellow graced mostly every piece of trendy clothing from ski jackets to jeans. Yep, neon jeans. Jealous you missed this one? No worries, it seems like many modern designers are trying to bring neon into style.

Popular among raver girls in particular, these clips were usually implemented to somewhat girlify some of the decade\u2019s wardrobe standards, like combat boots and severe eye makeup. They were also the one feminine accessory popular among females of the Goth persuasion, but today would probably only be attractive to the 5- to 7-year-old crowd.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/jade_scrunchie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"249\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scrunchies.com\/\">Scrunchies<\/a><\/strong>: Oh, the scrunchie. Perhaps one of the most widespread, staple pieces of any female\u2019s wardrobe in the 1990s, the scrunchie \u2013 a big, bulky, overdone hair accessory \u2013 practically rendered plain ponytail holders and elastics obsolete. And any girl with a basic knowledge of a needle and thread is probably guilty of trying to start their own homegrown scrunchie business, or at least crafting their own supply \u2013 custom made to match various neon outfits.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/flannel_shirt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"249\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong>Flannel<\/strong>: What trend did a bunch of heroin addicts and your father make famously popular in the early to mid-1990s? Oversize, beat-up flannel shirts worn unbuttoned over a plain T-shirt. Following the fashion lead of Seattle musicians who rarely bathed, many a teenager could be classified as \u201cgrunge\u201d in the 1990s, slumming around in frumpy, holey flannel shirts either stolen from the closet of a familial adult male or purchased at a thrift store. How this lumberjack-on-sedatives look became so chic is beyond comprehension. Thanks Kurt Cobain!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/overalls.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"241\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong>Overalls:<\/strong> Farmer or fashionista? If you were spotted wearing overalls in the 1990s, you would fortunately be considered the latter. Iowa residents had never been so effortlessly \u201cin vogue\u201d. But, overalls are ugly, so this trend had a short lifespan on it from the outset (especially when considered it was \u201cthe bomb\u201d to wear them with only one strap fastened). And while some designers are trying with all their might to bring some this awful fashion back into style, here\u2019s to hoping the overall stays dead in the morgue.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drmartens.com\/\">Doc Martens<\/a><\/strong>: On the surface, Doc Martens don\u2019t seem so bad. They actually have a pretty simple, no-frills, albeit clunky, design. So maybe it\u2019s just the way that they were implemented in the 1990s that made them so awful. Worn most typically with light, taper-cut jeans or a short Union Jack dress, these shoes were supposed to lend an edge to a person\u2019s image, but really just succeeded in making them look like a 3-year-old in their parent\u2019s shoes.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13937\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/04173644\/DocMartens.jpg\" alt=\"DocMartens\" width=\"585\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/04173644\/DocMartens.jpg 585w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/04173644\/DocMartens-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizrate.com\/womenspants\/products__keyword--stirrup+pants.html\">Stirrup Pants<\/a><\/strong>: Oh the horror of stirrup pants, which were so very popular during the early part of this decade. Spandex leggings that wrapped around the bottom of a woman\u2019s foot, there isn\u2019t much to say about stirrups other than they were just bad, bad, bad on so many levels. While leggings have come back with a vengeance in recent days, attempts to resurrect the stirrup have, thankfully, failed thus far.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13935\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/04173644\/StirrupPants.jpg\" alt=\"Stirrup Pants\" width=\"585\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/04173644\/StirrupPants.jpg 585w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/04173644\/StirrupPants-300x126.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sun-in.com\/\">Sun-In<\/a><\/strong>: Want to go blond? No prob! Just head down to your local Walgreen\u2019s or CVS and pick up a handy bottle of Sun-In. A few spritzs and in no time you\u2019ll have \u2026 splotchy orange hair. Sun-In succeeded in convincing a whole population of girls with a blond ambition that the product could make them look like Madonna with just a few hours at the beach. Unfortunately, this claim wasn\u2019t exactly true. A whole other \u201cJust Say No\u201d campaign should have been created for this product and for the orange hair it produced.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/umbros.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"184\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.umbro.com\/\">Umbros<\/a><\/strong>: There may be some clueless soccer players out there who still wear Umbros because they either think they\u2019re still cool or because they appreciate their functionality. But you didn\u2019t have to be David Beckham to rock these bi-tonal, parachute shorts in the 90s \u2013 they were popular with just about every guy, no matter whether they were on Varsity or the Chess Team. I\u2019ve even seen one daring dude wear them over a pair of taper-cut jeans. True story.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/jean-cut-offs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"223\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shorts\">Jean Cut Offs<\/a><\/strong>: Another arguable trend, jean cut-offs can be and have been done in an attractive manner before. But in the 1990s, the look was generally botched. Consider the fact that the trend was to wear your cut-offs knee length and then delicately roll them to hide any frayed edges. Oh, and don\u2019t forget to pair the outfit with a nice, thick set of scrunchy socks and some Keds. No bueno.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/white_jeans.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"210\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/style\/fashion\/articles\/2008\/07\/10\/20080710whitejeans.html\">White &amp; Colored Denim<\/a><\/strong>: Another trend trying desperately to elbow its way back into mainstream society, courtesy of kitsch designers like American Apparel and Marc Jacobs, is colored and white denim. The way this craze played out in the 1990s is truly a movement to be forgotten like yesterday\u2019s news. I don\u2019t care who you are, purple jeans are not awesome.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/hot_pink_leggings.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"235\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/store.americanapparel.net\/women-pants---leggings.html?kw=leggings&amp;gclid=CPGWtsGc5ZQCFQyenAod8RYGQw\">Hot Pink Leggings<\/a><\/strong>: Unless you are Cyndi Lauper, you should stay far away from hot pink leggings. In the 1990s, people liked to sport oversized button down shirts over these awful things (some of them with stirrup feet) and the bolder the pattern on your shirt to complement the craziness of your leggings, the better.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.championusa.com\/Champion\/Default.aspx?cm_mmc=Linkshare-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA&amp;TRC=LINKSC&amp;SiteId=GKYboAQB6T4-TYuwfDWXIzXA_wezNjG1nQ\">Champion Sweatshirts<\/a><\/strong>: \u201cAll I need in this world is a turtleneck and a crew cut Champion sweatshirt.\u201d This seemed to be the mantra of the less fashion-forward crowd in the 1990s. Preppies and jocks alike loved sporting this combination, especially if they lived in colder climates. Champion is still around making sportswear, but thankfully no one confuses the brand for being \u201cdesigner\u201d anymore.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Glitter<\/strong>: Send another thank you card to the raver kids for introducing facial glitter as an annoying fad in the 1990s. Maybe they took too many drugs or maybe girls covered in glitter just looked better when they took too many drugs \u2013 who knows. While having a shimmer to one\u2019s face is nice, chunks of gelled glitter (usually concentrated near the eyes) is really not too suave looking unless you are a member of Jem and the Holograms.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/tapered_jeans.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"346\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?Boot-Cut-vs.-Tapered-Jeans&amp;id=200737\">Tapered Jeans<\/a><\/strong>: The 1980s had tight roll, or \u201cpeg-leg,\u201d jeans. In the 1990s, it seems designers were more concerned with helping people be more efficient in the morning. Hence the taper cut jean \u2013 pants already pegged \u2013 which helped people in shaving a good 30 seconds off the getting-ready-for-school routine, in addition to helping them look like total idiots once they got there. The cherry on top of the tapered jean look was the fact that the pants were usually cut with a pretty high waist, making people\u2019s thighs appear enormous and their asses long.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manic Panic<\/strong>: People who were really rebellious in the 1990s usually had a nice hearty supply of Manic Panic stored under their bathroom sink. That way, whenever they had an unruly whim, they could instantly change their hair color from Vampire Red to Electric Lizzard (the latter of which glows under a black light \u2013 score!) The number of teenagers who shaved a good 10 years off their parents\u2019 life spans using these hideous hair dyes is large. Surely it\u2019s not worth damaging your parents\u2019 health just so you can look like an alien.<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Manic_Panic#\/media\/File:6F1A0110.JPG\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13941\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13941\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/04173644\/ManicPanic.jpg\" alt=\"ManicPanic\" width=\"585\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/04173644\/ManicPanic.jpg 585w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/04173644\/ManicPanic-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Chain Wallets<\/strong>: Chain wallet = tough. And if you wanted to maintain a cool air of apathy in the 1990s, you had to have a chain wallet. It was requisite, and it was wrong. Let\u2019s leave this trend to Harley Davidson enthusiasts and janitors.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/bodysuit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"345\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodysuit.com\/%E2%80%9D\">Body Suits<\/a><\/strong>: Akin to the taper-cut jean and the stirrup pant, one can only assume that the body suit was designed by the same proficient clothing maker who knows that life is short and every second should be relished. From a functional standpoint the body suit, a glorified swimsuit meant to be worn with jeans or under business suits, seems to have been created so that people don\u2019t have to tuck their shirts in \u2013 timesaver! But, in retrospect, there is something wildly inappropriate about the body suit. Plus, can we talk about how much less daunting the lady\u2019s room seemed once this fad died off?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/the-rachel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"268\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong>The Rachel<\/strong>: On some level, Jennifer Aniston must be embarrassed. Sure, the boxy, layered haircut she sported on \u201cFriends\u201d was all the rage for a few years, with girls and women clamoring to their salons for the same treatment (author included). But in hindsight, this cut was sort of cheesy and really not super flattering to too many facial structures. Like the trucker hat craze of more recent times, The Rachel is one look that is best left forgotten.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/raver-pants.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"251\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong>Raver Pants<\/strong>: If you can go swimming in your pants without even being near water, then something is wrong. These gi-normous pants popularized in the rave culture, and manufactured by brands like Jnco and Kikwear, really marked one of the lower points of the decade. While baggy pants have always been associated with a level of thuggishness, these pants were so baggy they could easily be mistaken for skirts or culottes on steroids, thereby reversing the effect that many ravers were surely going for.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/fanny_pack.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"182\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong>Fanny Packs<\/strong>: Unless you are a 60-year-old American woman sightseeing in Paris, you should be utterly ashamed of ever wearing a fanny pack in public.

The higher and more clunky they were the better. In fact, they were so popular a Stanford undergrad even did his thesis on the very fad (see link above). But when your shoes weigh more than your book bag, you might want to take a serious at your life. Thankfully this badly-implemented style came and went with the wind.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/pgzaqd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.customizedgirl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/starter-jacket.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"187\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><strong>Starter Jackets<\/strong>: Once Starter Jackets were so popular that it was possible to get shot for owning a particularly nice one.
