Surprise! The 90s are back \u2014 fashionably speaking, anyways. We wouldn’t have predicted this one either. Had you told us in the 2000s that the 90s fashion trend would be a thing of the future, we would have laughed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Every decade teaches us a few things about fashion. But the 90s, wow. That decade is chock-full of fashion lessons. On top of that, there’s an art to wearing a throw-back style from any decade, no matter how much you may love the look.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In other words, if you go pure 90s, you’ll be perfectly dressed for a costume party. But if you style a more modern interpretation of the 90s fashion trend<\/a>…well, that’s the stomping ground of a true fashionista. Here’s how to do it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n90s fashion trend: What we learned<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n1. Go subtle with your stripes.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThin stripes ruled the day in the 90s. Back then, we took those stripes too far \u2014 with jarring color combos and uncoordinated prints.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWearing 90s stripes today<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nToday, we’re celebrating the stripe in a more subtle, timeless way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nModcloth Charter School Striped Sweater, $49, Nordstrom\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe close-bodied fit of this sweater makes it a perfect candidate for layering a heavier jacket on top. Pair it, untucked, with jeans or corduroys. And, choose any shoe from a dressy boot to a casual sneaker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n2. Double up on denim, but Don’t cross the line.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI bet JT and Britney wish no one ever captured this look.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDenim will always be classic. But in the 90s, denim went weirdly astray with crazy washes, oversize overalls and patchy denim head to toe. Too much of a good thing is, well, too much. Need we say more?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWearing double denim today<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSidestep a denim disaster by layering conservatively with a 90s-inspired denim jacket. The key is to choose a jacket that doesn’t overdo the embellishments. A slight<\/em> variation in color or a modest<\/em> frayed edge gives you a hint of the old days, without going overboard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWomen’s Collarless Fashion Denim Jacket, $29.99, Target<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPair this piece with white or colored denim for a masterful jean combo. If you want to mix, say, a dark wash denim with an lighter wash, see our post on how to do it here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n3. Wear the crop sweater, but skip the low-rise pants. <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSweater-Knit Crop Top, $32, Forever 21<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe crop top<\/a> may be the best known style convention of the ’90s. It was extreme and sexy, but only for those rail-thin women brave enough to wear it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWearing a crop top today<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the 90s, we would have paired a crop with low-rise bottoms \u2014 baring belly as if it were an accessory. Today, we match a cropped sweater with a high-waisted pant. This way, your ab show isn’t an all-day affair, but more of the occasional flirty peek.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n4. Plaid is forever, but make sure it fits.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the early-90s era of grunge, your dad\u2019s old oversized plaid flannel was a style statement. Color and cut didn\u2019t really matter \u2014 it was more about the perfect blend of slouch and sloppy. The goal was to ensure that no one really thought you cared about what you were wearing. After all, you couldn\u2019t be distracted from your brooding long enough to worry about such trivial things.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBy the mid-90s, plaid made its way to the Britney Spears micro-schoolgirl-skirt. That’s a look most of us would rather forget.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEven with that tragic turn, plaid hasn’t left us entirely \u2014 on the runway or on the department store racks. We should actually thank the 90s for placing this classic pattern firmly in the spotlight, because now we have plaid pants and blazers to covet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe lesson? Big sloppy is so pass\u00e9 \u2014 clean, structured, timeless cuts are what\u2019s up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWearing plaid today<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTreasure and Bond Plaid Boyfriend Shirt, $41.40, Nordstrom<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPick one piece to showcase your plaid, and make sure it\u2019s a piece that fits. Try an appropriate-length, school-girl inspired skirt, a cute pair of tailored shorts, or even plaid tights or leggings<\/a>. Even a plaid flannel for your casual days works. Then, keep the rest of your outfit neutral and basic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n5. Wear that chunky shoe, but Don’t mix decades.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the 90s, we all learned who Doc Martens was \u2014 well, WHAT Doc Martens were, anyway. Lug soles<\/a> and fat toe beds became wardrobe 90s style staples. We wore them with our oversized plaid shirts, to be as unapproachable as possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWearing a chunky shoe today<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMarc Fisher Lanie Combat Boot, $119, DSW<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRemember the rule \u2014 one piece from one particular decade of inspiration is enough. Wearing a chunky shoe with sleek cigarette pants and a button down denim shirt? Right. Wearing a chunky shoe with faded flare jeans and a kicky cropped sweater? Wrong. So very very wrong.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n6. mix your prints, but with restraint.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPrints were hot in 90s fashion circles \u2014 like, \u201chot mess\u201d hot. Restraint was not in the fashion vocabulary back then. Think florals, stripes, zigzags, with a little neon thrown in just to make sure no one blended in to any possible background.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe\u2019re all about being seen, and mixing prints is fun. But walking around looking like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? We\u2019ll leave that in the past (but the theme song, of course, never goes out of style).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMixing prints today<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAqua Mixed Print Tie-Front Jumpsuit, $46.80, Bloomingdales<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re mixing prints, soft and subtle (and neutral tones) is key. Try these combos for starters:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFlorals with thin stripes<\/li>\r\nTwo black-and-white patterns<\/li>\r\nGeometric pattern with stripes<\/li>\r\nFlorals with polka dots<\/li>\r\nSmall floral with a larger, more open floral<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n7. The skater skirt has its place.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWave Textured Skater Skirt, $34.50, Superdry<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBritney Spears brought the skater skirt to the mainstream in the Baby One More Time video<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>. And not in a good way. Her trashy interpretation now seems to be the basis for every female Halloween costume ever made.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBut that doesn’t mean you need to swear off the skater skirt. Choose one with a conservative length, then pair it with a tucked-in top and opaque tights. For the shoe, sneakers, combat boots, or a kitten heel all work \u2014 depending on the look you’re going for (sneakers: casual, combat boots: edgy, kitten heel: quirky). Whatever your choice of shoe, you will turn heads with this playful look.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat’s your favorite way to work 90s fashion into your modern-day wardrobe?

The crop top<\/a> may be the best known style convention of the ’90s. It was extreme and sexy, but only for those rail-thin women brave enough to wear it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWearing a crop top today<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the 90s, we would have paired a crop with low-rise bottoms \u2014 baring belly as if it were an accessory. Today, we match a cropped sweater with a high-waisted pant. This way, your ab show isn’t an all-day affair, but more of the occasional flirty peek.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n4. Plaid is forever, but make sure it fits.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the early-90s era of grunge, your dad\u2019s old oversized plaid flannel was a style statement. Color and cut didn\u2019t really matter \u2014 it was more about the perfect blend of slouch and sloppy. The goal was to ensure that no one really thought you cared about what you were wearing. After all, you couldn\u2019t be distracted from your brooding long enough to worry about such trivial things.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBy the mid-90s, plaid made its way to the Britney Spears micro-schoolgirl-skirt. That’s a look most of us would rather forget.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEven with that tragic turn, plaid hasn’t left us entirely \u2014 on the runway or on the department store racks. We should actually thank the 90s for placing this classic pattern firmly in the spotlight, because now we have plaid pants and blazers to covet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe lesson? Big sloppy is so pass\u00e9 \u2014 clean, structured, timeless cuts are what\u2019s up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWearing plaid today<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTreasure and Bond Plaid Boyfriend Shirt, $41.40, Nordstrom<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPick one piece to showcase your plaid, and make sure it\u2019s a piece that fits.
