History repeats itself and fashion demonstrates this example perfectly. The good thing is that this gives us an opportunity to recycle stuff we would otherwise have to toss out. Here are 10 items that have ruled the 90s wardrobe and are now raging back.
1. Dungarees
We’d say denim dungarees all the way. Style it with a crop top if you want to give it a more modern feel. From deeper colours to washed-out shades, these comfortable, utilitarian and stylish pieces should be evergreen.
2. High-waist jeans
Honestly, we know a lot of you are happy these jeans are once again back in trend. Yes, it’s not as baggy as it used to be, which is great because we have a thing for silhouettes now.
3. High pony scrunchies
Even the smallest of things can be used to make a fashion statement, it’s true. Back in the days, these little hair accessories formed a vital part of any hairdo. So keep the summer heat out with a stylish high-ponytail and a bright-coloured scrunchy.
4. Backpacks
Forget those dainty little clutches and grab a backpack (because backpacks aren’t just for tourists or college kids). You can pack all your essentials, sling it over your shoulders and let your hands take care of more important things.
5. Square-toed platform heels
You remember them, don’t you? They’d go so well under those flared pants — such as 90s style. But we have to agree, they were super comfortable. Be ready to sport this retro style once again.
6. Colourful sunglasses
If you’ve already matched your bags and shoes to your dress, don’t leave the sunglasses out. Shades with vividly coloured lenses that were once a huge sensation, are back again and taking over summer fashion on catwalks. We’re kidding about matching it to your dress though.
7. Neon colours
No shade can be too loud when you’ve decided to boldly flaunt a neon accessory. We would however probably cringe if we saw you in an all-neon dress and blazer. Spike up a monotone or casual dress by adding only a single element of neon to it.
8. Chokers
That black choker is evergreen and honestly we don’t think it can ever not look stylish. Minimalistic yet powerful, the chokers have definitely caught on once again. From expensive gold chokers to everyday lace ones, flaunt it the way you want to.
9. Vibrant headbands
These work great to keep hair off the face in summers. Go for thick headbands in floral colours or match it with your dress.
10. Oversized shirts
Borrow from your partner if you don’t have one but do not miss capitalising on this extra comfortable trend. It’s more of a casual style and is best paired with rugged jeans and sneakers.
