Listopedia: Where Tragic Fashion Items Were Born Bucket List
Shoulder pads, socks and sandals, oh-so-comfortable jeggings. We’ve all probably committed at least one fashion faux pas. Where do they come from? If you want to see the bad where it began, this is the Listopedia Bucket List for you.
Jeggings: Suffolk, England
Not the original home of these fashion crimes, but it’s where they first came to fame when dozens of students were kicked out of school for wearing jean-styled leggings.
Hawaiian shirts: Honolulu, Hawaii
They’re an eye sore, but luckily the destination isn’t. Surfers try to drown themselves in the biggest waves to avoid looking at these colourful shirts.
Turtleneck Sweater: Oslo, Norway
Again, the exact origins of this garment are shady, unlike its famed wearers: James Bond, Steve Jobs, P-Diddy and the Wiggles. Since Norway is cold and they have boats, we say, “go!”
Parachute Pants: Oakland, California
You can’t touch this! Or more accurately, you shouldn’t. But you should go to Oakland. It’s known for the best weather in the US.
Platform shoes: Venice, Italy
Also known as disco boots, these 70s fashion items were actually used to avoid the muck in ancient urban streets.
Shoulder Pads: Paris, France
Famous from the 80s, these little criminals actually came from an Italian designer in Paris from the 30s. Still, they added machismo when 80s pop stars needed it most.
Socks and Sandals: Munich, Germany
The world’s number one engineers, it seems their design skills stopped at the ankles. For such a practical people, why not just wear shoes if your toes are cold?
Low riding pants: New York, USA
Not even a Hollywood lawyer could argue the innocence of these little rogues. At what point did pants with a poop in them seem like a good idea?
Wallet chains: Texas, USA
First came into vogue thanks to truckers and then taken over by 90s ravers and skateboarders.
Bum Bag: Norway
Some ridicule the military, others, Norwegian backpackers for this nasty creation. Legend has it Norwegians received a memo in the 80s that claimed a high percentage of Americans were pickpockets.
