Getty Images Get off the overground at Peckham Rye on a Saturday night, head into the Bussey Building and you'll see that pretty much everyone under 25 is dressed like Mel C, complete with retro branded sportswear.

England football shirts
Getty Images The 90s uniform of tomboys everywhere might have been comfortable, but is of its time. Blame the poor sporting abilities of the current England football team if you like, but these shirts are still best left to Danny Dyer films.
