Add some vertical stripes to the pants and make it a turtleneck instead and send me off to kindergarten, baby! (You can keep the platform shoes, too, I think I wore Keds.)
I wore very similar clothes from 1982 to 1990. all hand me downs from my older brothers who wore them in the late 60’s early 70’s. being poor really gave you out of date clothes back then.
British school uniform of the time – white shirt, school tie, blazer, gym slip for girls, short pants for boys, three-quarter wool socks and lace-up shoes.

Poor Red! How did we ever survive those 70’s fashion trends?

The shirt is all wrong. White would attract dirt like crazy, so maybe a denim jacket over said shirt?

Looks like something my brother wore in 1969…..

That wasn’t very encouraging Rover, your snark is worse than your bite!

My sentiments exactly, Rover!

I don’t get it…what is wrong with his outfit?
johovey over 5 years ago
Those clothes are conservative compared to what I wore! Do a stylin’ walk and you are all set, Red!

I did not like platform shoes nor bell bottoms. Those were for sailors.

Remember the bell bottoms with cuffs? I found all sorts of things I dropped by checking the cuffs.

Lose the platform shoes and it looks like stuff I used to wear in the ’60s.
