The Only 4 Revived 90s Trends I’d Wear Right Now
Fashion is a cyclical beast, always finding a way to bring back the best (and sometimes the questionable) from decades past. Lately it’s been all about the glorious 90s. Yes, the decade that gave us grunge, pop princesses, and some of the most iconic fashion trends is back in a big way. It honestly feels like I just lived this 5 minutes ago which makes it kind of weird to be embracing these trends again. You know, it’s hard, as an adult, to not feel like an older person trying to relive their youth with this. Honestly, it’s a blessing and a curse since there were so many trends I was just too young for or didn’t get to fully embrace but with adult money, I get to do it all over again.
So dust off your Spice Girls CDs, and let’s dive into the revived 90s trends that I can get behind.
Slip Dresses
The slip dress is the epitome of 90s minimalism. Simple yet elegant, these dresses have made a grand comeback, gracing runways and street style alike. They can be dressed up with heels and statement jewelry or down with sneakers and a denim jacket. The versatility of the slip dress is unmatched – it’s the perfect piece for any occasion. Whether it’s a sultry night out or a breezy day look, the slip dress brings a touch of 90s elegance to the modern wardrobe.
Baguette Bags
Remember the time when carrying a tiny, sleek bag was the height of sophistication? The baguette bag, made famous by Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw, is back. These petite shoulder bags are perfect for holding just the essentials, adding a chic touch to any outfit. Modern iterations of the baguette bag come in various textures and colors, from classic leather to bold patterns, making them the perfect accessory for a night out or a casual day about town.
Relaxed Jeans
Everyone is always talking about how skinny jeans have had their moment; now it’s time for relaxed jeans to shine. Think back to the 90s when baggier was better, and comfort was key. Today’s relaxed jeans are the epitome of laid-back style. Whether high-waisted or mid-rise, these jeans offer a versatile and comfortable alternative to their form-fitting counterparts. Pair them with a tucked-in tee or a cropped sweater, and you’re good to go. They’re perfect for a casual stroll or an effortlessly cool brunch outfit.
Wedges
Wedges were the go-to shoe for (nearly) every 90s girl, offering height without the discomfort of stilettos. They’re back and better than ever, providing a stylish lift to any outfit. From espadrille wedges perfect for summer picnics to chic leather wedges ideal for evening events, there’s a wedge for every occasion. They offer the perfect blend of style and comfort, making them a must-have in your shoe collection.
