'90s fashion trends that are making a comeback

Mahia Afrin | Monday, 4 July 2022


Choosing trendy fits is a must to look fashionable, as one might not want to look backdated. Fashion follows trends, so making yourself updated with the current trends is integral. 

Nowadays, we are mainly following the fashion trends of social media influencers. In social media, fashion trends are changing like the weather. Many anachronistic fashion ideas are coming back as a trend. 

Crop Tops

Teenage girls mostly love to wear crop tops styled with their favourite denim pants. Crop tops that originated in 1970 are a trendy style option now. A cropped t-shirt, sweatshirt, cropped hoodie, or any crop top is easily pairable with baggy jeans or oversized pants.

Oversized outfits

Oversized outfits were on-trend in the '90s and are back for your casual look. Oversized t-shirts or sweatshirts will give you a hip-hop pattern look.

Denim and Cargo Pants

The denim fabric has been maintaining its legacy for a long time. Denim was one of the most popular fabrics from the 1970s to the late 2000s, and it is making a comeback today. 

Cargo pants are back in style as one of the latest must-haves. Cargo pants are usually preferred baggy and oversized. They are the perfect loose-fit bottoms for a comfortable outfit. It is compatible for the gym, going out to dinner, or a day on the town.

Linen

There is a rising trend of linen clothing on social media which is ideal for tropical countries. Linen, more expensive than cotton or synthetic fabrics, has some impressive perks that make it a must-have. 

Naturally moisture-wicking and breathable, linen clothing is a perfect way to stay comfortable in the scorching heat. Linen pants in solid colours such as white or nude are closet staples that are comfortable and easy to wear. Influencers pair them with tank tops and button-down shirts for an easy, effortless outfit.

Long skirts

Maxi skirts have been on the rise for some time. However, the '90s-inspired long skirts are a must-have for a casual look. 

With more coverage than a mini skirt, the maxi style is much more versatile and can go with any accessory. Solid colour or floral printed skirts may level up your beauty. 

Shoes

Some of the most hype footwear during the 1990s included jelly shoes, Steve Madden sandals, chunky sneakers, Adidas slides, combat boots, kitten heels, etc. 

The 1990s trend started as a casual thong strappy sandal but became a nostalgic trend for fashion models that made a comeback in the early 2000s and is resurging again today. 

Strap sandals are famous for both men and women. Thong sandals come in variations such as ankle strap, wedge, and sling back that are the most frequently seen today on the beaches worn with summer shorts or with loose trousers and tube tops. 

Ornaments

Women love to decorate themselves with ornaments. Adding earrings to a daily ensemble can give a glamourous appeal. 

Hoop earrings became popular in the 1960s as a signature fashion statement for women. From the early '60s to the late 2000s, hoop earrings became the norm for the fashion world. Hoop earrings are on-trend that carry a symbol of infinity and wholeness. 

The 90s fashion models loved having thick hairbands. To ornate your hair like in the '90s, you can wear a matching hairband with your outfit.

When building a wardrobe, it is predominant to consider the longevity of the pieces you invest in to avoid falling victim to the ever-churning cycles of the fast-fashion storm.
