Baggies Flares might have gone out of fashion 15 years earlier, but in Madchester you were nobody in 1989 without a pair of 21-inch bottomed Joe Bloggs jeans. The look was topped off with a hideous brightly coloured hooded top and bowl cut hairdo modelled on that of Inspiral Carpets bass player Clint Boon. The overall effect was of someone drowning in a big puddle after being pelted with tomatoes.
