[Closed] Own up can you still fit into clothes you wore 20 years ago?

I'm a bit of a different body shape nowadays, given I was 6 years old 20 years ago ... regretably these natty postman pat slippers will no longer fit:

errr no, was 3st heavier back then and just about to discover MTBs!!

Gotta be kidding. If I can fit into stuff I wore TWO years ago I'm happy 🙁

Yep. ten years ago I wouldn't have been able to, but I can now 🙂

no i was 4 - but a pretty snappy dresser.

now where is that sailor suit!!

well 20 nope as I have grown up a fair bit since I as 10 but 10 years old that is more than likely 😀

I have a couple of pairs of jeans I bought in '89-'90 that I still wear now and then.

I have a wonderful leather jacket my dad had when he was in his 20s which I can still fit into in my 40s.

I love it - it is so retro it gets comments whenever I wear it. 🙂

I'm the same size now as I was in the early eighties

erm..........................no

Oh you're all so young. Wipes tear from eye.

I haven't got much left from that long ago, but still wear stuff from 10+ years ago every day- I don't buy many new clothes! Just in the last year or 2 though a couple of things have started to feel a bit tighter 🙁

yes

I still wear the first cycling top I ever bought which is 25yrs old.

I wish 😥

Im actually sat in the same Diesel jeans right now!

my oldest bit of kit is 12 years old and that my wedding suit, it still fits me, thinking about it, I bet I could get into my Mrs wedding dress if needs must 😉

I'm still wearing the same underpants. To be honest though the elastic is starting to show a bit now.

Yes, I was a 34" waist and a 42" Chest at 21, I still am, admittedly there has been some weight fluctuation in 20 years.

Yup, I'm going horseriding on saturday and will be wearing the jodphurs I bought when I was 15. The top I was wearing yesterday is probably 10 years old as well.

Most of Mr MC's clothes are at least 10-15 years old! I'm always ribbing him for being a cheap skate and not buying some new stuff! Admittedly I wouldn't 20 years ago as that would've made me 10!! But 7-8 years ago maybe, working towards getting back into those clothes at the mo though!

Easily, I'm much fitter now than I was at 21.

Yes (if 15 years is acceptable)...I've been a 32" waist since I was about 16...I can still fit in my clothes - although the oldest bit of clothing I have is my kilt and that just fits me - bought 15 years ago...saying that, my chest has got slightly bigger and arms longer, but pretty much everything I own still fits me (but then I hardly buy new clothes - I wear them until they fall apart so it's easy for me to confirm this!)

This is a timely thread as after 20 years I am going back to uni for a year to do my masters so need to reaquaint myself with what is de rigueur for studes. I'd say I am probably a 34 around the waist and was 32 at uni, but t shirts, shirts and jackets etc would all fit if I had any.

I know people who know me won't believe this but no probably not trousers.

Lol @ roper. mmmm if I didn't buy mr b.h new undies, he would be wearing them for years and years.

mrsflash let me know how you get on? Will you be walking like John Wayne on the SUnday?

Given that my Joe Bloggs t-shirts were too large first time around, that would be a yes... 😳

Lol, bunnyhop I hope not! I've not been on a horse for 3 years though, so it's a distinct possibility. We're off for an hour and a half's hack from kilnsey, really looking forward to it.

easier - I was a very fat 12 yr old!

Yup - gone up a little round the waist - from 29 to 31 so depending how generously cut things were back then - I can still wear trousers I bought in 1977

Yo-yo'd abit. I have lots of suits that just hang off my shoulders from early 00's. Not because I was fat- thats where the builk of me sat. now its gone from my shoulders to my guts and ass!

I went a bit mad with a scanner a couple of weeks ago. [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonralli/sets/72157619607976596/ ]I think I shall have a look through these and see if anything fits.[/url] I think the toga should deffo.

Be warned - some v dodgy mid - late 80s photographic content in these!

Looking back at what I was wearing 20years ago (my uni hey days), even if I did fit into them I really don't think that I want to wear them again! The only things I remember fondly from that wardrobe were the monkey boots that I wore all the time.

nope, as i was 10, 20 years ago! can still fit into stuff i bought when i was 18 though.

For the first time in over 15 years I probably can right now. Wish I'd kept some of those clothes as my current ones are a bit tight.

Hmm, 20 years ago I was 10 also. In my early teenage years I was flat as a pancake and lived in an odd combination of sportswear, checked trousers, checked shirts and cute skirts. All of that stuff has gone (thank goodness) but I did wear a top that I first wore when I was 18 the other week to go to a 70's night, it had belonged to my Mum some years ago.

20 years!! pffft, i can till were stuff i wore at school in the 70's

granted it's a wooly beany hat but hey 🙂

:-O i've just added a year to my age - i was only 9 twenty years ago. not even turned 30 yet, and losing my marbles 🙁

That's what happens dgoab 😉

summer of 89 I had 2 outfits:

1. jeans, metal t-shirt, leather jacket (for drinking jack daniels and/or special brew)

2. flouro lycra (for biking)

Don't think I would fit in any of that no, but I was pretty skinny then what with all the biking and jack daniels and everything.

But summer of 90 was all baggy ravey so I'm sure I would fit into all that (even had a pair of dungaries)

double postage

i was 4.

I could try?

that reminds me, I still have all my metal t-shirts from my 6th form and uni days in a suitcase in the loft. The jeans died a death but I do have the black suede winklepicker shoes with zips and buckles.

retro-mania!

Well, I don't have much left from 20 years ago, maybe my DrMartens and a lovely bright red Castelli top which turned up again last month after being mis filed in a house move ten years ago. Oh and a dinner suit I bought in 87 still fits. Should I wear them all together?
