There’s a good chance that at least one of the outfits you wore in the last month paid homage to 90s fashion, whether you meant it to or not.
Retro style has a way of sneaking into stores, not all at once with outfits that scream “vintage” but piece by piece. We have for you all those 90s fashion trends that will
A few steps in a pair of combat boots, a few earrings, a satin choker, etc. Before you know it, random people will stop you on the street and tell you that your outfit makes them think of Cindy Crawford (we can only hope).
Just like in any other decade, some fashion trends come and go and never come back. But the ’90s were a great time for mini style, bright trinkets, and lots of pockets. Here are some of the most recognizable fashion trends from the 1990s that are ready to be used in new ways.
So here we have for you those 90s fashion trends for women and men both.
Those Bucket Hats
We can’t talk about fashion in the 1990s without mentioning the bucket hat. They come in many different styles, fabrics, colors, and patterns today. Style gurus have also been seen wearing them with all kinds of outfits, like chic summer sundresses, casual denim jumpsuits, and sporty sportswear.
Thick Headbands
Headbands were a popular part of early female 90s fashion in general, but there’s something about the thick, usually knotted style that has made it popular again. They may have come back because of Blair Waldorf, but either way, they’re back. Thick headbands add a sweet touch to any outfit, whether your hair is long or short.
Combat Boots
Combat boots have been a fashion staple for decades, but they were especially important to the grunge style of the 1990s. Doc Martens may be the most popular brand because people like all of the different styles they have.
These combat boots were a crucial part of men’s 90s Fashion. However, there are so many other styles to choose from. Combat boots usually have laces, but there are also styles that have buttons. In either case, the heavy form is based on the boots that troops wear in battle.
Claw Clips
When a simple hair band won’t do, try going back in time and using a hair claw to gather all those strands for a great ’90s look. It comes in different sizes and shapes and is made of simple plastic that holds locks in place. In the 1990s, they were a casual way to get hair out of the face fast. Today, you can see them everywhere, from walks to the farmers market to hairstyles for weddings.
Solid Velvet Suits
In general, velvet was a big part of fashion in the 1990s. It’s used more on purpose now, especially in suits. Whether it’s just a velvet collar or a full-body velvet outfit, the texture adds a fun touch to formalwear.

Blazers with Plaid Patterns:
When we think about it, striped fleece might have never gone out of style. There aren’t many casual situations where flannel isn’t a good choice. It’s great for hiking, going to the grocery store, hanging out at home, or going out with friends.
Belt Bags:
How fanny packs are worn now is very different from how they were worn in the 1990s. Instead of putting them around your waist like they were meant to be, wear them across your body like a small bag that’s easy to get to and even easier to put on and take off. In the 1990s, JanSport was the best place to get a fanny pack, but now there are a lot of other choices, like leather fanny packs.
Bell Bottoms/ Flared Bottoms:
We all love those bell bottoms and can see every other girl or even boy wearing that. Flared jeans are back, which is a bit controversial. The flare isn’t as big as it was 30 years ago, but the small kick of the shape is fine with us. These Bell Bottoms are a part of late 90s fashion and are still in fashion and trending.
Hoop Earrings:
In the 1990s, many jewelry boxes were held together by large, thick hoop earrings. Today, you can find lots of retro styles, as well as braided patterns, thin hoops, big hoops, and squiggly hoops. It’s a great world for hula hoops.
Scrunchies:
Scrunchies were fun ways to spice up a simple haircut, just like hair claws. Most of the time, they were brightly colored and made with extra fabric that spread out around the ponytail or bun. Today, they’re giving people all over the world the same sense of fun.

Crop Top:
Crop tops don’t look like they’re missing a bit of a shirt at the bottom like baby tops do. This is meant in a fun and stylish way. A crop top can make a strong statement when worn with high-waisted trousers.
Colored Sunglasses:
Plus points if you can find a pair of cat-eye lenses with colored lenses and even more points if the sunglasses don’t cover all of your eyes. From pink and orange to blue and green, there are many ways to follow this style that keeps going.
Cargo Pants:
If you wore combat boots and cargo pants, you could have gone to any mosh pit-style concert in the 1990s. Some styles had drawstrings at the knees to make them look like parachutes, while others were cut like boots. You can buy both of these and a lot of other things in shops right now.
Corset Tops:
In the early 1990s, the late fashion designer Thierry Mugler did a lot to make the corset top famous, and if you can find an original one, you’re in for a real treat. The lace-up front, which comes in all kinds of patterns and colors, is a throwback feature that adds a feminine touch to any pair of jeans or cargo pants.
Slip Dresses:
At a wedding gathering or a club, you can’t move without seeing at least one slip dress. They come in every color, are both sexy and comfortable (which is hard to do), and come in all sizes and price ranges.
Slip skirts, which were mostly black, were a popular style in the 1990s and a part of black 90s fashion. Slip dresses have spaghetti straps that are generally flexible and a hem that ends just below the knee. There are slip dresses that are shorter, but the standard ones stop right at the shin.
