When I first started going out (late 80s) it was chinos, polo shirts and some places didn't let you in if you weren't wearing a tie! f***ing ludicrous!

Where did you start going out?
I started in Sunderland about 1990 and it was jeans, tee shirts and either DMs or trainers for me. Never really had an issue.
Yeah there were places that wouldn’t let me in, but they weren’t places I wanted to drink anyway.

Shhhh...he'll get bigheaded
Although he's already got a giant noggin by the size of that hat, if the elephant man put it on it would slip down over his eyes.
I used to love being told I looked like a devil or some cloved animal.Sounds about right. The stick I got over those f***ing shoesa couple of years later everyone’s got them on
Fair play. I'm not going to dress to some perceived style for my age.

Still got a few pairs knocking about from 2000-2003….the originals are long gone!
Standout pair are Turbo Pink from 2003, worn once, might get them on for the match on Saturday!
Do I also remember denim jackets being “banned” and having to leave them at the bottom of the stairs in Gillespies if you wanted to get in…..the early 90’s fashion transition was crackers!

I have still got a pair of beige/orange ones in the loft but I think they were a present off one of the in-laws. Yeah I wore my first pairs till they fell apart. Loved Air Rifts, still do actually. I'm not sure about the Gillespies thing but I'm sure I was refused entry from somewhere for wearing a denim jacket. I also got refused entry from Idols for wearing an either a Dries Van Noten or Stone Island jumper, the bouncer said I looked like Bobby Thompson the f***ing moustached peasant!

I remember going out in shoes with black trousers or dark jeans and black boots around the millenia just to get into the decent bars and nightclubs. Cruise in Newcastle got most of my wages. Changed around 2002 I think when I recall wearing Asics Onitsuka Tigers from Gate with light bootcut jeans and a t.shirt from Eleven with a woman pulling a bunch of beads out of her yawning hippo on the front. You could only really tell up close. Loved that tee. Anyway, I would say everywhere including nightclubs was maybe back end of 02.
