I'm my city in the mid-late 90s it was popular for girls to have long daisy chains of keychains hanging out of their back pockets, longer the better. The clatter between classes was maddening.

It was like a right of passage to steal your first fistful of sassy keychains from Spencer's or Claire's. So dumb.

I'd say the boys were more rational, but guys would compete to have the longest wallet chain (I had a degreased bike chain) if you were punk/alternative, or the widest Lane wallet (probably fake) sticking inches out of your back pocket.

Oh yeah, and way too long braided leather belts that hung down past your knee.

Edit: Maybe they were wide non folding zip around Coach wallets. I just remember they were super easy to steal.

I used to tie an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
