90's Fashion
90's style and fashion was heavily influenced by TV, Hollywood and the music industry. Fashion fads of the 1990's took us from Baywatch inspired boob jobs and Brazilian waxes, to the Grunge look of Nirvana and Bill and Ted. We wanted the hairstyles of 90's fashion such as the Rachel Do, the Caesar and floppy Dawson's Creek boy hair. The 80s represented a time of outrageous fashions in a neon rainbow of colors. The 90s, however, entered on the more somber Grunge-inspired note and proceeded forward with flatter hair and a more subdued palette. Fashion of the 1990s hit an eclectic mix of styles from Grunge to Goth. Get all the 411 on the various fashion trends from the 90's here by searching the articles below. |

The range of 90s fashions included the khaki/black/white combo
that reined supreme, happily provided by Banana Republic and The Gap. Footwear hit a practical note with comfortable
options such as Doc Martens and hiking boots. 1990's women’s fashion was
both baggy and revealing with Clueless inspired
chunky heeled shoes, A-Line
mini dresses and underskirt style short dresses worn over
bodysuits or
T-Shirts and music scene-inspired cut-off jeans, tiny
midriff-baring tops
and belly button piercings. We all wanted the foot tattoo that Drew
Barrymore had in the movie Poison Ivy and suffered the nineties fashion
dilemma of whether to festoon our hair with banana clips,
scrunchies and
tiny plastic butterfly clasps or go for the Grunge side of 90's fashion with
long straight center-parted hair.
Let us not forget that the clothing of the 1990's should not always be remembered fondly. Some nineties fashion disasters to cringe at are the comfortable but not ever so attractive Boston style Birkenstock (though that Mellow Yellow Gap commercial was really catchy) and the unfortunately named fanny pack!
Oh yes. Fashion of the 1990's should always be remembered with equal measures of nostalgic joy and embarrassment. Groove is in the heart (and the fashion)!
