I presume social services were involved at some point?
Which embarrassing clothes were you forced to wear as a child? (pre teens)

My folks made me wear Jesus sandals to school once.
Luckily they got destroyed playing British bulldogs that very day.

Swimming cap - which ripped out your hair.
Plimsolls - those black things that stunk even new.
The joys of schools in the eighties - If you forgot your kit, you were forced to wear stuff from the cloak room, absolutely honked of damp, filthy, sweat etc. Grim. I can still smell a crappy Rugby shirt to this day.

never understood those, i've had socks with thicker soles.
the same smell was always with the vests they used for team colours, don't think they were ever washed. people wanna know why schools are covid hives that's it in a nutshell.....

Be embarrassing today, but I wore short trousers to school until I was almost 13. Back in the 1960's though.

I was made to wear shorts for school as well year round, i vividly remember being frozen in the middle of winter in Lancashire. moaning to my mum just fell of death ears.
Another one was a duffel coat that was just heavy and still failed to be warm. that also fell on death ears....
looking back the duffel coat was probably quite good but to a kid that had zero interest in fashion and would much rather have been warm it was a waste.
shell suits were the epitome of cool in my secondary school, admittedly that probably says more about the school than the clothes themselves.

Bum bag, yep guiltyEverybody wore shell suits at the time, they were the height of coolness, it's only now you look back and cringe. There's a Bullseye episode with a middle aged bloke in full shell suit regalia, it'll have seemed like a good idea at the time.
I had an England one.
Which one of you wore a bum bag then?

I remember wearing a black shell suit, pants and a jacket.
Also remember wearing Chino trousers.
@Maccapacca post reminded me of wearing Bermuda shorts too. They were big and colourful... definately see me coming

Genuinely thought you'd have worn a Russian one. Hmm.
Yes.
Yes
No, they came after I had grown up.
Also Fred Perry tops, stay press trousers.

I've always hated clothing that makes that crisp packet rustling, so whilst I've had joggers for football, never the full suit.

Surely those were your choices?
