Embarrassing wardrobe

[The Burgomaster]

What's the most embarrassing article(s) of clothing you own (or owned)?  For me, it's probably a pair of zebra print denim jeans and a tight-fitting black top (I think it was made of velvet or something).  I bought these from International Male around 1990 or so (that was about 35 pounds ago).  So, imagine an outfit similar to this on a guy and you'll get the idea:

Ummm... what instrument did you play?

None.  Which makes this even more embarrassing.

My answer to this is well known and much feared.

Back in the mid 70's when I was stationed in Scotland, the only kind of civilian dress shoes you could buy were platforms.  Those things pushed my height up to about 6'5" and I must've felt the same way clomping around in those things as Boris Karloff did when he played Frankenstein.

We need actual pics for this thread!     I'll have to look through the old DarkSider album from days past to see what I have.

This is a good lead-in to my second most embarrassing clothing ensemble.  Around 1976 I had a blue denim leasure suit that I used to wear with flower-print polyester shirts, a wide white belt, and black platform shoes.  My mother has snapshots of me wearing this stuff.  I'll try to find one and post it here.

I had to wear the top of one of these suits at a wedding one time! I had stained my other suit top so I had to borrow one of my grandfather's old suits.

Another example is when I was six I wore a pair of army boots, army helmet and a pair of scuba goggles and snorkel, yes I was a very wierd child.

That's pretty much what I wear everyday when I'm not at work.

It was the mid-sixties, I was about 15 or so and was going to a dance with some friends. I wore a short royal blue cordoury skirt with a white poor boy sweater ... which was ok.  It was the black fishnet stockings with spiky heels, the teased up long hair, and the caked on make-up that me look like a teeny bopper hooker!

I can't imagine having let my mother see me walk out of the house looking like this, so I must have applied the "finishing" touches in the ladies room at the dance.  I thought I had looked so COOL!   

That was ages and pounds ago.  When I go out now I dress appropriately, but I still remember the rebellious teenager that still lurks inside --  that's why I love Halloween!

I not only wore a leisure suit, but it was one that my mother made for me. That one was brown. The other suit she made for me, though, was a regular style suit, which was fine, but I insisted on sky blue material. Mmmmm, pretty.

When I was 8 I thought shiny neon bright colored stretch pants were the best!  I rolled them up to my knees because I just didn't like how they looked over my socks.  If I could find a really puffy pair of socks, I'd tuck my pants in them.  Watch.. give it 2-3 years, they're going to be the hottest fashion!

Like a lot of kids in the late '80s/early '90s, I had Hammer pants once.
And like a lot of kids in the '70s, I had hideous Garanimals.

I remember Garanimals ... they were both cute and ugly at the same time.  God, I  dressed my oldest son, Mark, in those.  I must have scarred him for life.
