1Cargo Trousers
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy The trouser de rigueur of the boyband, cargos were chiefly characterised by an bewildering array of pockets - so many pockets, it might drive a man mad to think about them too much.
They were most often paired with combat boots, a tank top and the unmistakable gaze of someone heading for impending bankruptcy.
2Barbed Wire Tattoos
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy Tattoos are a polarizing subject at the best of times, but I think we can all agree that a wonky barbed wire etching snaked around some faded bro's bicep is one of the most tragic and unimaginative reminders of 90s vanity.
3Tinted Sunglasses
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy The preserve of creepy magicians and creepier music executives, a subtly tinted pair of sunglasses - preferably paired with a leather blazer and three too many buttons undone on your shirt - marked you out as a man of great substance and standing in the moral vacuum of 1994.

4Visors
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy An item of clothing that was designed for golfers and grannies from Florida was never really going to hold a place in fashion history, was it? The visor did try, bless it, but if even 90s heyday Eminem can't pull it off then you know it's a failure.
5Baggy Jeans
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy After years cowering in the shadows of all things slim and skinny, the fashion world is trying its best to push loose-fitting trousers as the silhouette of choice for the trend-conscious man.
That's all well and good, but you can keep your eye-wateringly blue parachute denim abominations in the deepest pits of sartorial Hades - make that the 90s - where they belong.
6The Going Out Shirt
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy We've had one - that mate who doused himself in Brylcreem and Lynx Africa for a night on the town where he'd aggressively look at girls (talking to them was too scary) before getting into a scrap with an equally perfumed and lank-haired mirror image of himself.
And that friend's attire of choice? Well it was a checkered 'going out' shirt, of course.

7Frosted Tips
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy Nothing said 12-year-old ladies man more than a set of freshly frosted tips. JT - the most famous proponent - took it to whole new levels by chucking a tight perm into the mix.
Probably the most fondly remembered trend of the era, there was something sweet and ambitious about the frosted tip, the idea that we as males were attempting something like self-improvement. Failing, yes, but at least we were trying.
8Bucket Hats
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy It could be argued that the bucket hat has made a comeback already, but actually have a good long think about it and you'll realise that no one has actually ever been able one pull off, except maybe LL Cool J...maybe.
The modern bucket hat has been appropriated by acne-infested teenagers called Henry from the home counties, who spend their parents' money on streetwear and cheap drugs.
Burn the bucket hat, burn them all.
9Wallet Chains
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy Originating in skateboarding culture where - presumably - its function was to keep your wallet attached to you when you were attempting a Caballerial, the wallet chain was then bafflingly adopted by men who looked incapable of riding a lift without getting out of breath, let alone a board. A nadir in the chequered history of men's jewellery, its resurgence would surely be valid grounds for emigration.
