The styles of '90s clothing
During the '90s there were many changes in the fashion world. This resulted in trends that are coming back again. Discover with me the styles that make a piece of clothing from the 90s.
Grunge 90's clothing
When I think of 90s clothing I think of the iconic Nirvana Smiley. The grunge clothing is casual but also rebellious. The look consists of flannel shirts, worn jeans and black punk style shirts. One was a reaction against polished styles from the 80s. If you want to adopt this style, buy a flannel shirt. Wear it loosely over a black or white punk-metal style shirt for an authentic 90's look.
Band Shirts
Vintage band shirts: Find a vintage band shirt to add a 90's touch to your look. Use layers, for example a shirt in combination with a denim jacket. Wear it loosely for a casual look. Put on colorful sunglasses for a modern twist.
Sporty influences
Nike, Adidas and Fila became extremely popular in the 1990s. Comfortable sportswear combined with everyday jeans was everywhere. Sports shirts and caps from the Chicago Bulls and New York Yankees were also the bomb. Also the most popular in the class with a cool baseball jacket. A cool sweatshirt combined with a cool jogger can be both casual and stylish. Striking logos or a cool graphic print is the way to go. Combine this with Nike Air Max or Adidas Superstar sneakers.
Quality over Quantity
Choose quality materials and timeless pieces that will last a long time. Invest in a cool vintage band shirt or a cool Chicago Bulls print. They are not only of better quality than current clothing, but a unique piece of history in your wardrobe.
Denim, denim, and more denim
Denim was a key player in 90s fashion. From denim overalls to denim on denim outfits, this versatile material was everywhere. Worn by both men and women, it was a symbol of casual comfort and effortless style.
The influence of pop culture on fashion
Pop culture in the s was bigger than ever. Television shows such as "Friends" and "Beverly Hills, 90210" and films such as "Clueless" defined the fashion of that decade. Cartoons from Disney and Cartoon Network had a major influence on clothing.
- “Friends” Inspiration: Think of Rachel Green's iconic looks, like plaid miniskirts, cropped tops and chic blazers.
- “Clueless” Style: Cher Horowitz's preppy style with knee-length socks, pleated skirts and colorful twinsets are still trendy.
- "Cartoons": Prints of Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes and Snoopy were everywhere.
