    I had a purple and white one and a pink one too. Ah the comforting sound of rustlling when you walk- takes me right back it does.

    I think i'm ashamed to admit it, but I think I had one years and years ago, a purple, black and blue one.

    I had plenty of tracksuits, but no shellsuits. It's one of few mistakes of fashion that I've managed to avoid.

    Lilac, pale green and white. I had a matching bum bag, white slouch socks and short hair :blush:
    The photos are cringeworthy...

    There's a picture of me in one when I'm about 3 (who tortures their child that way?!). It's deep pink, purple and green if I remember correctly. It's a god awful picture too, as I'm just recoveringfrom/ about tog et (can't quite remember) chicken pox.

    Luckily I was three. I can blame my mother.

    God i had one, although i'd tried to forget that part of my life i think. All i remember is being really pissed off that my mum wouldn't buy me the really trendy shellsuits :grump: I'm pretty sure mine was a demented purple or pink colour. I was only about 8 so quite a girly still. Thank fu** for horse riding. I binned the shellsuit at 10 and swapped it for jodhpurs. :thumb:

    i had one that was lilac, white and turquoise, and one that was black, neon blue and neon green.

    the shame :(

    I had a black and neon green one. For shame.

    The good thing about shell suits was that no one wearing one could sneak up on you. You could hear them rustling a quarter of a mile away.

    i was stupid enough at the age of about 9 to wear my old shell suit to do the lifesaving bit (where you had to swim in your slothes) of school swimming lessons.

    it filled up with water and was so heavy that when i tried to get out the pool it fell down round my ancles and i flashed my knickers :crying: oh the shame - wearing a shell suit and flashing all in one day

    I wasn't allowed to have one. My mother was way ahead of her time :D
