Honest answers please

Did you wear a shell suit in the '80s? I had to wear one as I was working in health and fitness at the time and it was the uniform for winter.

[jackthehat]

No.

[EcclesCake]

No

[tinkerbell23]

I was a child but in the early 90s i had one lol x

[EvianBaby]

Hell yeah, I had an awesome shell suit. But then I was only a kid in the 80s.

I stopped wearing it on bonfire night though. I'd seen something saying you shouldn't wear one near flames and when I got home from school my mum had laid it out on the bed for me to put of for the fireworks display. I was terrified and cried most the night. Lol.

No, I was in a children's home and even if i'd wanted one they would not have had any funds to buy one. All our clothes were bought with a voucher book from C&A, shoes from Clarks and undies from a shop called the 3 sisters (or something like that).

[LoftyLottie]

No, I didn't but my son who was born in 1983 had them!! - Poor child (but it was the norm at the time. I did have track suits though and thinking back they were dreadful. Oh dear.

[pusskin]

Nah, fink I was a bit too old?

[naomi24]

Urggh! Wash your mouth out! ;o)

[LoftyLottie]

I don't think your age mattered pusskin. I remember all ages and all sorts of sizes wearing them - usually in bright colours!!

[EcclesCake]

I've never worn a shell suit and I've never worn a velour leisure suit in the Juicy Couture style.....the temptation to wear them outdoors and then be labelled a chav was too much to face.

[tinkerbell23]

OMG evian i was exact same i remember being told in nursery at bonfire night my shellsuit would melt to my skin an i was cacking it!!!!

I think mines was a fetching green! With reebok hi-tops and i was only 3 or 4 lol xx

[erin-x]

No shell suits but I did have a few pairs of Adidas poppers :-)

[pusskin]

They werent my thing lottie, like you I prefered track suits. very comfy x

[EvianBaby]

Ha ha Tinks, there must have been a campaign or something that had everyone under the age of 10 papping themselves.

[LoftyLottie]

I didn't wear my track suits to go out in. They were inside relaxation. Have never had one of those velour leisure suits!!!

[LoftyLottie]

I had some trackie bottoms and a American Baseball type sweat top!! My son (who was aged about 8 I think) was totally disgusted. Not surprised really.

[cazzz1975]

no

they look like a static shock epicentre

[LoftyLottie]

There were quite a few nasty cases of kids being burnt badly because of shell suits.

[Prudie]

About 89 yes, it was white with flashes of purple and pink.I only wore it for playing tennis in though.

[LoftyLottie]

They did make people rather 'visible' to say the least!!
