Too many black boots (Goth's and students of the 80's and just about everybody else's favourite colour) not enough oxbloods!
Black MA-1 jackets? I never saw one of these until 1987, where were the Olive or navy ones?
The shirts, terrible modern Ben Shermans or whatever with tiny collars , not work a wank . ^_^

Minus the Ben Shermans, this is what I wear almost everyday. And I'm a 19 year-old girl of African origin. I didnt even realise how skinhead influenced my clothes were till I watched a Youtube video about this era. Interesting how style recycles itself.
