They still wear all that in Alexandria. I think they are awaiting the second coming of Vanilla Ice.

Black faux-leather parachute pants.
Real leather Jordaches.

Nope
I did the preppy thing for a bit. But that was probably the only 80s fad I joined in.

Negative; I did associate with at least 2 people who did. Had Girbaud’s though.

But I went to Merry Go Round at Cortana


Every piece of clothing I owned in the 80s came from merry go round or DJs. The clothes were good quality, I still have a leather jacket from DJs I bought in 85 that's in good condition.

You were considered a nerd if you were a kid in the mid 80's and didn't wear them. Red pair with black checkerboard vans on my BMX bike.

And I still have my 35 year old Raleigh BMX bike!

I want to say no but it's all kind of hazy. Contemporary photos mostly show me in jeans or khakis so I've got that going for me.
