1. This photograph from 1998 where they look like a band comprised of vampires.
2. What do you think is going through Brian McFadden’s head in this photo?
Is he thinking “In twenty years, I’ll be using the internet to challenge a terrorist organisation called ISIS to some hand-to-hand combat and show them how a real man fights?”
3. This photo where they look like lovely boys that your nana would trust.
4. Mark’s pinstripe trouser and leather jacket combo is unforgivable.
5. These outfits didn’t age *that* badly. Apart from Kian’s sleeveless shirt.
6. Kian was not very big on sleeves.
7. Here’s a pic of the boys trying to hold back fans at the opening of the Virgin Megastore in London.
Take a look at those shoes. Proper primary school chats on Brian. We can try and forgive them because this was twenty years ago so they were all around 17 years old, but what age is too old to wear shoes with straps?
8. Another photo from that day. Relax lads, the fans are barely even pushing the doors.
9. They made a very interesting choice on how to dress the day they met the Queen.
10. Once again, Kian showing us that he spent the 90s believing that sleeves are a social construct.
11. Brian was just as passionate about wearing school shoes from Clarks.
12. Have you ever seen a more grim looking Christmas photo?
13. Shane Filan celebrating his 21st birthday at the Harrod’s July sale.
14. Mark Feehily looking like a first year NCAD student who loves Death Grips.
15. Nicky Byrne’s outfit here looks like someone clicked randomise outfit on The Sims 2.
16. Zoom out a bit, and we can see that Kian’s wearing bronze leather trousers.
17. Brown leather obviously became very popular at the turn of the millennium.
18. It looks like they’re posing before the shittest office night out of all time in this one.
19. Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona engaging in some PDA at a charity football match.
20. Nicky Ryan at the Brown Thomas International Fashion Show in 2003.
21. And here he is looking like a character from Hardy Bucks.
22. Somehow, things got even weirder when Brian left the group.
23. That goes for Brian, too…
24. What a sheux.
25. And remember when they released a perfume?
26. At some stage during the farewell tour, Nicky looked like the bottom half of his outfit was chosen by the costume designer from A Clockwork Orange.
27. And finally, here’s a photo where it looks like Shane Filan is using his own book to swear under oath.
