Fashion trends seem to come and go but more significantly it comes back. We’ve seen a lot of fashion styles resurface and make a comeback in the recent years and it seems that 90’s fashion styles are in it for 2024.
What’s in the 90’s?
Grunge Fashion was a popular style originating from the music scene. It was characterized by oversized flannel shirts, ripped jeans, band t-shirts, combat boots, and disheveled hairstyles. Oversized, loose-fitting and baggy clothing was a prevalent trend in the 90s which was highly influenced by hip-hop and the streetwear culture. Flannel shirts were a signature piece of the grunge fashion movement. They were often worn unbuttoned over band t-shirts or tied around the waist for a casual and effortless look.
Crop tops were also popular trend for both casual and formal wear. They were often paired with high-waisted jeans or skirts, exposing a portion of the midriff. Denim was a staple fabric in the 90s. Denim jackets, jeans, overalls, and skirts were all the rage. Double denim or “denim on denim” outfits were also popular.
Platform shoes, particularly platform sneakers and sandals, were a defining footwear trend of the 90s. The extra height offered by platforms was favored by both men and women. Accessories such as chokers were also popular in the 90s. They came in various materials, such as velvet, plastic, or metal, and were worn tightly around the neck as a statement piece.
