17 ways Irish people tried to be cool in the early noughties

So recent. So forgotten.

1. A pair of jeans that you cut with two slits, so they’d sit nicely over your shoes

2. Frosted tips.

Like beautiful icing on the cake of your head.

3. O’Neills tracksuit bottoms

With the waistband turned over so everyone could see the O’Neill’s logo.

5. Ladies wearing dress shirts on a night out

Ideally fitted, maybe with some kind of a pinstripe. Often worn with black slacks.
