YOU couldn't wear a skirt in the 90s without one of these dangling from your hips.
And millennials all hoped it would be the last we'd see of the disk belts, but Gen-Z seems to have other plans.

The giant belts which would often ping off at the most awkward of times have made a comeback in high street stores.
The likes of New Look, Primark, PLT and Boohoo are all stocking it.
And one mum was horrified when her teen daughter picked up to buy.
Taking to TikTok, Nina, wife of the famous SpudBros founder, shared her daughter's reaction to the 90s accessory.
She told her mum she wanted to buy it for her summer holiday as Nina looked on mortified.
"You do realise that when I was about 14 that is what we used to wear," she said.
"We thought we were really cool and then we bullied them ever since.
"Now they've made this comeback and you're saying it's nice?!"
"They were not lying when they said fashions come back around. I need to find a photo of me in one of these," Nina captioned the post.
While Nina and her daughter's opinion on the belt differed, many agreed with Nina in the comments.
'I can feel the blisters' shoppers cry as River Island becomes latest high street store to jump on 'painful' 90s shoe trend
The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @ninadixon28 with over 2.5 million views and 113k likes
Many were horrified to see it make its way back into stores.
One person wrote: "I had one in every colour. I used to wear them with long rara skirts in the early 2000s."
Another commented: "My mum used to say fashion repeats itself and it's true."
Fashion editor reveals the 90s trends that should stay in the past
NINETIES and noughties trends especially have become a hit with Gen Z - most likely because they didn't wear them the first time round. Here, Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale gives the rundown of some of the trends that have made a comeback that we wish did not.
Disc belts
"A hit with celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Blake Lively, the belt itself did nothing that a belt should actually do - it was a mere fashion statement, not a piece to actually hold anything up.
"And it seems it's not just me who is enraged by its return, with many taking to TikTok to give their views, saying: 'Oh no not the disc belt! I don't think I have the energy for it a 2nd time around' - I feel you."
Jelly shoes
"After not being seen on shelves for decades, they've made a reappearance and this time they're not just for kids.
"Coming in a range of colourful patterns, you can get them all over the high street in either flat or heeled versions.
"Not only will you look very childish wearing such shoes, but people will also need to learn that they aren't the comfiest - blister plasters will come in handy."
Pedal pushers
"The cropped knee-grazing trouser were all the rage in the 1990s and 2000s, but this time the model fash pack are all over them - with both Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski wearing them out recently.
"The original IT girls, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot helped make the trousers - also called Capri pants - look effortlessly cool and glam.
"Somehow this time round they don't seem to be having that same effect."
"The trauma from the disk belt," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "The late 90s and 00s has entered the chat!!"
"It is totally giving PTSD hahaha,' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "Oh no they are not back are they."

Delta Force Season Break start date confirmed as new maps and Operator revealed

Delta Force Season Break is almost here, and the game's biggest update yet will introduce a new mechanic and a new Operator, as well as new maps for both Operations and Warfare The upcoming season of Delta Force is nearly upon us, and it's bringing with it new mechanics and enhancements to the Victory Unite mode, as well as a fresh Operator, maps, and additions to weapons and vehicles. Delta Force Season Break (Season 4) is rapidly approaching and is set to be the most substantial update since the game's PC launch last December. Alongside new maps for Operations and Warfare, and a brand-new Operator, Team Jade is introducing a novel mechanic: swimming and diving, allowing players to explore underwater. ‌ A jailbreak is on the cards for the Operations map, Tide Prison, which was previewed in the developer livestream – and the nod to Shawshank didn't go unnoticed. Players will start with no gear or weapons and will have to scavenge what they need during the mission, while undercover as a prisoner. ‌ The map is set on an island prison, making it the ideal time to introduce swimming and diving mechanics; something the developer has been keen to implement for some time. While there won't be a solo mode at launch, it could be added later if players take to the map. Team Jade is keeping schtum on the details of the new Warfare map Cyclone, which is linked closely to this season's gripping storyline. The studio hasn't spilled too much about the plot, but a brief summary suggests that Cyclone picks up right after the prison operation, with a promise of intense action over land, sea, and air – think more wild swimming and diving antics. Staying on-brand with the water-based adventures, Jet Skis are the latest mode of transport to zip through the waves. But wait, there's more! The Cyclone sneak peek debuted dynamic weather; expect battles to heat up amidst the "gushing winds and torrential rain". Over in the world of mobile Warfare, Team Jade is all about speedy matches, finally giving players the swift gameplay they're craving. Jets won't make an appearance in the Delta Force Season Break update, but the studio hinted that these would grace the game in the season "after Season Break", which likely means gear up for them in Season 5. If you're eager to get every juicy detail, you can catch the Delta Force Season Break livestream on the game's official YouTube channel. So mark your calendars, as here's what's in store when Delta Force Season Break kicks off. ‌ Introducing All Out Gaming Introducing All Out Gaming, a dedicated gaming brand providing the best gaming news, reviews, previews, interviews and more!

Delta Force Season Break release date Delta Force Season Break releases Wednesday, 9 July, as confirmed by the game's official Twitter account. We're estimating a start time of around 2am UTC, which aligns with when most of the game's major updates have been released (via SteamDB). Here's how that translates to your local time: Tuesday, July 8 7pm Pacific Daylight Time 9pm Central Daylight Time 10pm Eastern Daylight Time 11pm Brasilia Time ‌ Wednesday, July 9 2am UTC 3am British Summer Time 3am Central European Summer Time 4am Eastern European Time 5am Saudi Arabia Standard Time 10am Australian Western Standard Time 10am Singapore Standard Time 11am JST 11.30am ACST 12pm AEST We'll update the above if Team Jade provides exact timings. As for what's new when Delta Force Season Break begins, here's a brief rundown, with more details below: New Operations Map: Tide Prison A secret high-tech island prison run by the Haavk, players must infiltrate disguised as prisoners and collect their gear during the mission, solving puzzles solo or with their squad. Swimming and diving have also been introduced, together with underwater exploration. New Warfare Map: Cyclone A tropical island with a hidden ICBM missile site, the Cyclone is a grand map offering satisfying infantry and vehicle combat, and introduces a dynamic weather system which affects gameplay immersion and strategy. New Operator: Tempest Free with Battle Pass, Tempest comes with enhanced mobility via an exoskeletal device, emergency evasion devices, and a charged drill that disarms enemies, making her an ideal choice for close range combat and deadlocks. The start of Delta Force Season Break coincides with the game's console release, meaning PS5 and Xbox gamers will also be entering the action. Additionally, the Black Hawk Down single-player campaign will be accessible as free DLC, which isn't a massive shock as it was a freebie for PC players too.

Mums need to stop wearing leggings, there is nothing sexy about them and they are ruining your confidence, stylist says

She insisted you don't have to spend a fortune to dress nicely, and feel more confident LEG-GO Mums need to stop wearing leggings, there is nothing sexy about them and they are ruining your confidence, stylist says Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S an outfit donned by mums worldwide on a daily basis. But according to one stylist, there's "nothing sexy" about leggings and a jumper - and "nothing about the look that makes you feel good about yourself" either. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Personal stylist Clodagh has urged mums over 40 to stop wearing leggings Credit: Youtube/The Clo's Show 4 She insisted there are equally stylish outfits that are just as comfortable Credit: Youtube/The Clo's Show 4 And mum-of-three Lesley was stunned when Clo put together some stylish outfits from her wardrobe Credit: Youtube/The Clo's Show 4 This orange jumper worked well with a mustard leather look jacket Credit: Youtube/The Clo's Show Clodagh is a personal stylist, who helps "empower" women through their wardrobe choices, and documents the journey in videos on her YouTube and TikTok pages. In a recent episode of The Clo's Show, she met up with mum-of-three Lesley, to help her get out of her style rut, and express herself with her outfits. "I'm a stylist and I work with women every single day that suffer with their style confidence because they have been wearing this uniform of leggings," she began. "Are you over 40, feeling meh and still stuck in leggings?" Clo wrote over the top of a TikTok clip of the installment. "Watch Lesley ditch her leggings and get her confidence back!" Lesley admitted she was "so stuck in the mindset of the leggings" that she just stuck them on in the morning before the school run. But when Clo started to show her some other wardrobe options, she began to realise that she would be a lot more confident wearing something else. And as an added bonus, Lesley already had all the clothes she needed in her wardrobe. In the first outfit, she wore a pair of wide-legged black trousers and white slogan T-shirt, as she said: "I feel great. I feel very comfortable. "It's actually nice to be out of the leggings!" My favourite outfit has been labelled 'frumpy & ageing' by cruel fashionistas, but screw them… I'll be buried wearing it "So what would stop you in the morning from not wearing this to drop the kids off or go to work in?" Clo asked Lesley. "Look how happy Lesley was by just getting out of those leggings and putting on a plain pair of black wide leg pants that she bought in Tesco," she added. "Look at the difference they make for her confidence!" "The beauty of this is not only did Lesley not spend a penny, but her confidence has been elevated through the roof and she now understands how easy it is to put fab outfits together and how easy it is to mix and match her stuff," Clo added in the description for the YouTube video. People were quick to comment on the video, with many agreeing with Clo's fashion analysis. "I refuse to have leggings, tracksuits, baggy tops in my wardrobe," one wrote. Styling tips for women 50+ Our Fabulous Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares her top tips... GET A BRA FIT: Underwear is the foundation to every single outfit, so make sure your bra is the correct fit. If you're off to a good start you'll finish with a great outfits. EMBRACE COLOUR: Bright colours will lift your skin tone and will give you glowing skin. INVEST IN GOOD BASICS: You'll need your essentials like a good pair of straight leg jeans, white shirt, white t-shirt, black blazer and well made black shoe. You can't go wrong with rotating them when you don't know what to wear. AVOID SHAPELESS: Hiding your figure under shapeless silhouettes is doing to date you and make you look frumpy. Try fitted clothes that aren't figure hugging - you need to be able to breathe. EXPERIMENT: Try different items you wouldn't usually go for and mix them with what you already have. The results can mean a better dressed and more confident you. "I love to wear nice clothes daily - and it's cheaper than people think." "Yes!!!" another said. "It's all about how you feel and being in an outfit that makes your feel put together regardless of what you're doing." "I'm 43 and I stopped wearing leggings a few weeks now," a third commented. "I've a bit of a belly and skinny legs so I looked like Mr Tayto, so stopped wearing them as I felt leggings made my stomach look bigger."

Shoppers race to Primark for £16 ‘hidden gem' skirt that's so pretty it's ‘giving Zara'

SHOPPERS are in a frenzy over a "pretty" midi skirt that is sure to sparkle in the summer sun. The embellished new arrival is part of Rita Ora's latest collaboration with the retail giant. 4 4 The summer 2025 pieces dropped in stores across the country last week much to the delight of fashion fans, who have hailed it as "sensational". Bosses at the high street retailer say it is "inspired by golden Ibiza skies, '70s icons, and unforgettable summer moments". And the Rita Ora Beaded Midi Skirt, in particular, has grabbed the attention of shoppers. Despite looking expensive, it is actually incredibly affordable too - priced at just £16. So if you're looking for a show-stopping addition to your wardrobe without breaking the bank, you've come to the right place. The brown midi skirt is covered in sequins, beading and embroidered floral details, and is available in sizes XXS to XL. According to Primark bosses, the midi length 'keeps it polished, while the elasticated waistband makes it easy to slip on and go'. Describing it on the website, they added: "Bring the sparkle with this Rita Ora Beaded Midi Skirt. "Designed in a rich brown, this layer is covered in swirling embroidery, beaded flowers and mini sequins that catch the light as you move." If you really want to elevate the look, you can pair the skirt with the matching beaded halter neck top priced at £12. Primark's mini dress is a copy of a £135 designer version - it'll give you a gorgeous hourglass figure & perfect for date night Alternatively, opt for an oversized T-shirt and sandals or trainers for a more casual finish. Fashion fans react Since hitting the rails last week, fashion fans have been racing to snap up the brown midi skirt. And they've been sharing their glowing comments on social media. One gushed: "It's giving Zara, not Primark. I still can't believe it's from Primark. It's so pretty." A second wrote: "Look at the detail on it. Sequins, beading, love the colour. Really gorgeous. "I got this in a small and it's £16. It's absolutely gorgeous. It looked cute on the hanger but pairing it with the right things [an oversized tee] it now looks 10 out of 10. "I absolutely love this and the fact that it's £16, you know it's definitely staying in my wardrobe." A third added: "This brown skirt is giving like something you would stumble across in a charity shop, a hidden gem. Like that old, vintage brown and the bedazzled beads." "The brown skirt oh my god", cried a fourth. And a fifth echoed: "The brown skirt wowwww." Hot Right Now singer Rita, 34, has been a brand ambassador for Primark since 2023, allowing fashion fans to shop her "famous style for less". The star, often seen in designer clothing, said she was keen to honour her roots and love for the high street brand. Her latest 84-piece collection starts from £5 with the most expensive item - a double-breasted blazer - priced at £40. She said she was excited by the prospect of developing her own affordable fashion collection that offered quality and value. after signing a multi-season deal. But we told how shoppers were convinced they'd spotted a spelling mistake on a baby tee from her spring 2025 collection – and you can't unsee it Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
