The noughties was a dreadful time for all fashion, but particularly men’s.
Now we’re not here to judge, we’ve all been there. But now that we’ve lived through it and survived to see another day, we can certainly all have a laugh about it and hope to God it never happens again.
We live and we learn, guys.
Now deep breath, this list is going to take you on the trip down memory lane that you never agreed to…
