Which brand or type of clothes were "COOL" while you were in high school?

[blessedmom080911]

I have no idea! Haha! My mom wouldn't buy me the cool clothes! I like Old Navy jeans back then though...they were so comfortable! She buys my brother the expensive jeans...because he won't wear anything else. Maybe I should have been difficult like that.

I went thru my baggy clothes phase.
Popular brand names were Tommy Hilfigier, Nautica, Polo, DKNY and all the similar in that category.

ooo, I'll post a pic. Let me go find one.

Here we go-- this is a pic of a pic, so it's not too clear.
But that was my average clothes for 9-11th grade. And then girls started to wear their normal size again...lol

bongo jeans, quicksilver shirts, and stussy clothing were the most popular at my school. its crazy because i remember those being the pricey brands and now they are bargain brands lol.

The Gap. And Express had just started to be big. But I was also in high school in Seattle when Grunge became big, so it was cool to shop at thrift stores too.

I've never been a clothes horse. Plus my parents didn't have a ton of money and I grew up in a rich suburb. So I wasn't really up on what was cool.

In my group of friends, every dude had a "fatty no-face" a/k/a North Face (rich, hippie types). They wore a lot of Patagonia, a lot of thrift store buys, and a lot of big comfy sweaters. We basically looked like we could spontaneously camp at any moment. Even though we were just going to Papa John's or something. It's funny looking back on my hippie chick days. Oh the patchouli.

Oh boy, I'm really going to show my age. I went to an all girl Catholic school in Brooklyn. I was and still like to consider myself a "guidette"...lol! We were big into Z Cavaricci, Benetton, Champion clothing.

Popular brands for me and MY friends were Band shirts (dont really have a brand...hot topic maybe lol!!), Toy Machine, No fear, Industrial, SoCal, any skate brands really... I dunno what brands the other kids wore lol!

[natty]

It was so mixed but for me I wore boot cut jeans ( and I still do ) with tanks most of the time I grew up in hot weather but I don't remember any brands in particular

[eccomi]

hmmmmm i remember bongo jeans from my first year of high school. and birkenstocks. i remember spending a ridiculous amount on a mossimo bathing suit from macy's my junior year (like someone else mentioned, i think it's funny that you can get mossimo at target of all places now! ). hmmmm what else? guess jeans.

No clue. We shopped mostly at Walmart or Ross.. I did have some stuff from Hot Topics when I went through that punk/ plaid skirt phase.. But thats not what was "cool" at the time..
