Published on July 1, 2020, by Esther Muchene, fashion has proven that certain styles keep recurring. The 90’s are back in style, and we’re not just talking about the music.
From bold fashion statements to timeless classics, we take a look at eight 90’s inspired trends you can try right now.
1. Patent Leather ¶
Patent leather is back, and it’s making a statement. This shiny leather is a far cry from the usual black or brown matte leather, and it’s a huge fashion statement. Whether you spot it in a music video or on the streets, patent leather is a trend that’s here to stay.
2. Bandana Pattern ¶
The bandana pattern is another bold piece from the past that people still appreciate. You don’t have to limit yourself to the scarf, as it also looks amazing on bikinis, dresses, and other items. Tie the classic scarf on your jeans to add that 90’s aesthetic.
3. The 90’s Suit ¶
The power suit from the 90’s is still a brilliant design until now. It was fashion’s take on women empowerment, and it became an instant hit. You can find the blazer dress, which looks super cute with pointed red bottoms, or the trouser suit, which you can rock to some fashion high tea.
4. Hair Clips ¶
Tiktok may have taken top place on this one for the nostalgia, but back in the day, every girl used to have the famous butterfly clips in their hair. These are hard to find now, but you can buy the modern versions that are available. You’ll find bold designs these days that are the new and improved versions of the clips.
5. Flared Jeans ¶
Flared jeans are slowly making a comeback, but people are still struggling to let go of their skinny jeans. Either way, they look great, especially with a crop top or graphic tee. Flared jeans are a fashion statement that’s here to stay.
6. Turtleneck ¶
The turtleneck never left the fashion scene, and most people wear them when it’s cold. You can also find lighter materials if you want to strut in the summer. They can be worn with skirts and paired with bold jewelry.
7. 90’s Braids ¶
90’s braids are different from the usual braids you see everywhere. They need a certain skill to pull them off, and that’s what makes these braids special. These are ‘poetic justice’ braids that are a whole fashion statement on their own.
8. Dr Marten’s Boots ¶
Dr Marten’s boots were a favorite in the 90’s era. Although they weren’t a fashion item initially, people picked up on them and started to style them with different outfits. They’ve gained so much popularity over the years and they’ll always have a reserved space in the world of fashion.
