    I never dressed like that but I still think it looks neater than today's "thug look" where everybody wears hip-hop stuff ...

      I was thinking the same thing.. definitely in the '89-'93 range..

          I had some parachute pants and I did wear checkerboard Vans for many years.

                That style was popular by the time Save by the bell was on the air, I say around '88 - '91

                  Checkerboard Vans (which I happen to be wearing right now) are NOT a part of that hideousness!

                    Thinking a little more about it and trying to find some sites on early '90s fashions, hot colors were popular for most of the early nineties. They were worn on In living colour and Fresh Prince of Bel aire all the time I remember.

                        that's exactly why I thought of the late 80's early 90's, the lettering and shapes on around the pic scream out Saved by the bell

                            Yeah, it's a late 80s-early 90s look. You'd see those people on the Highlander TV show with hair and clothes like that. My ex-wife used to try to get me to wear stuff like that when I lived in California. Jeans and t-shirts only for me. The occasional button-down.

                              Yep, that's really more early 90s than 80s.
                              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
