Fashion is cyclical, and designers, indulging in nostalgia, periodically suggest returning to a particular era. And this time they decided to make a stop in the dashing 90s, where a riot of colors, oversized robes, experiments with style and the most unexpected combinations reigned. Interestingly, this time, non-couturiers were the first to pay attention to the trends of the last decade of the 20th century - the style first appeared “on the streets”, later settled in social networks, and only then eminent fashion houses drew attention to it. Well, it's time to audit your closets and get hold of things that have been waiting in the wings for so long. Although many of our compatriots associate the 90s with crimson jackets and checkered huge bags. But today we will not be talking about them.

Cycling shorts

It may seem to you that bicycles became popular thanks to Kim Kardashian. But this is not at all the case. In the 90s, Princess Diana herself was a fan of elongated tight Lycra shorts, who, by the way, had to choose a wardrobe in accordance with strict royal protocol. She also showed that a comfortable wardrobe item is suitable not only for sports, but is quite good in combination with sweatshirts.

Sisters Kardashian and Hailey Baldwin, who, one might say, breathed a second life into bicycles, went even further: they manage to combine the "symbol of the 90s" with strict jackets, loose shirts and crop tops. If you are not a fan of such experiments, take an example from Princess Diana, and you definitely won't be mistaken.

Boiled denim

Dummy jeans appeared back in the 80s, but the real boom in them happened in the 90s. Of course, not all young people had the opportunity to acquire the cherished denim models, but a solution was found: just a few manipulations with boiling and chemicals (most often with whiteness) - a fashionable and, most importantly, a unique outfit is ready.

Now things made of boiled denim are more popular than ever: and even eminent designers did not stand aside from this seemingly manifestation of street style. So feel free to take wide mom jeans or high-waisted boyfriends, oversized jackets, sundresses, miniskirts or overalls.

Leather

But they did not live in denim alone in a dashing decade. Leather was in no way inferior to him in popularity. Mods of the 90s will surely remember that Julia Roberts once wore a coat made of this material, the stars of the TV series "Beverly Hills 90210" preferred jackets, and after the release of "The Matrix" in 1999, the style of Neo in a raincoat performed by Keanu Reeves copied everything.

So, leather is in trend again. Agree, a skirt made of this material looks much more interesting than the same model made of ordinary fabric. If you don't know where to start, monitor the pages of fashion bloggers on Instagram, you will definitely find several ideas from them. Do not be afraid to overdo it: dressing from head to toe in skin is only encouraged. And, of course, do not forget about the leather jackets, which, it seems, are not going to go out of fashion.

Animal prints

The "leopard" was especially honored in the 1980s. In the 90s, his popularity did not fade away, although the fashionable competition for him was "python" and "zebra". But for 30 years, animal prints have gone through a lot: if quite recently clothes with animal patterns were considered almost a sign of a lack of taste and vulgarity (the "leopard" was especially unlucky), now it is experiencing a rebirth. Moreover, it seems that fashion houses are simply crazy: if the "snake" is present on shoes and bags, "zebra" dilutes the office dress code, then "representatives of the cat family" attacked evening fashion. By the way, pay attention to the cow coloring, which is also a hello from the 90s.

Silk

The appearance of clothes in the so-called linen style in our garters is also a reference to the last decade of the 20th century. Then the whole world went crazy with supermodels Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss … With their light hand, very laconic silk combinations became popular. Practicality and elegance - this is what most likely attracted the girls then: despite the workload, celebrities always wanted to look attractive. And this is what modern women of fashion also appreciate.

Ornament

Don't tell me you don't remember sweaters with strange ornaments and inscriptions? If not, then look at any photographs from those times and you will understand what this is about.

Yes, they are not quite cute, but they are so cozy and warm. Do you want to be known as a fashionista? Then choose a sweater with an ornament or with a lock on the neck - now this is one of the most relevant trends.

Grunge

Do you know who is the culprit behind the 90s fashion craze for oversized sweaters, plaid shirts, ripped jeans? This is Kurt Cobain - the leader of the legendary band Nirvana. It was this style that the musician preferred, and his fans, without thinking at all that they looked unattractive in men's clothing, exploited this image with might and main. Of course, convenience comes first. That is why modern women of fashion also love grunge - they choose comfort from Paris to Tokyo.

Massive shoes

Rough-soled sneakers seem to have permeated all walks of life, and are paired with just about everything. And this season they will not give up their fashionable positions. True, they have already begun to compete with military-style boots that can be worn both with jeans and with dresses.

Belt bags

It is difficult to imagine a person of their era of the 90s, who would not have a belt bag, and for traders in the markets it was completely irreplaceable (money should always be with you, just in case). Today, such accessories are almost not associated with traders and speculators, but have remained at the peak of popularity for several seasons. Practicality and convenience - these are the main qualities of bags for which women of fashion love them. And now you can find a large assortment of models: from decorated with rhinestones to laconic and sporty.

Hair accessories

Hairpins decorated with pearls, velvet elastic bands, plastic headbands … Perhaps, in the dashing decade, almost every girl had such jewelry. Most recently, fashion critics laughed at these accessories, and today they are singing their praises again. And surely, if not with you, then your mother somewhere in the far corners of the dresser always has a crab with stones or a hairpin with rhinestones.
