style progression: our personal legacy of jawnz over the years

[tween_spirit]

i think a lot of you guys here, at least in the trash, have been into clothes for a while, or maybe as long as you can remember. i think it could be cool to see how peoples style has changed or maybe even progressed over time, becoming more refined or individual.

I guess I'll start with myself to get things going. dug up some old shots from many, many years ago so don't hate too hard.

Here I am in the mid 90's. This was my grunge phase, and on top of that you can even catch a bit of proto-#workwear, getting really into those clarks desert boots. RRL tee going strong as well. still kept the signature 90's look with that shirt around the waist though. man, those were the days.

This was my early 2000's metrosexual phase. Can't believe we all thought just throwing on a blazer with jeans made you look somehow refined and classed up. must have been watching a lot of fresh prince reruns too because I've got that thing on inside out. kind of an embarrassing time for all of us if you ask me. glad I'm over that and don't bother with careful grooming or shit in my hair anymore.

these days i just don't give a fuck, and you can catch me bumming around in whatever, totally washed up and hiding behind vintage sunglasses. graphic tees make a return and patterned shirts reign supreme. pretty consistent with current trends i guess but it feels the most "me".

how about you guys? do you remember how you dressed over the years? do you take any influences from these eras, or even earlier like the 70's?

Do you have an interpretation of the 70s era? I'd really like to see a 70s era tween.

wow that navy stitching in the first picture there really sets them apart. reminiscing of the 70s I remember so fondly, I encourage you friend to please enlighten me what those jeans are because wow

navy stitching reminds me of my first kiss

this thread will be a good place to document our legacy as our style progresses.

our legacy did a cool 90s print shirt too

i'm looking forward to 1990s revival with the swooshy geometric tie designs

I, for one, welcome our new 70s wash overlords

those jeans...wow. it's such a shame that the art of tastefully washed denim, this 70s legacy, seems to have been forgotten today
