It's no secret that the ’90s have been back with a fervor. With trends first coming back onto the fashion scene a few seasons ago, we’ve truly hit our stride as we learn new and interesting ways to mix the retro trends into our more modern wardrobes. Without looking like we’re straight out of a Spice Girls music video or an Adidas advertisement from 1995, we’ve developed a huge crush on the style favorites that made the decade what it was. Our wardrobes are now rife with crop tops, track pants, and bomber jackets, and our after-hours looks consist of slip dresses, platform heels, and the occasional tube top. That’s right: We’ve reached peak ’90s nostalgia, but we’ve added an updated twist.
Taking a retro trend and running with it isn’t always easy, though, so we’re looking for inspiration from some of our favorite street style stars and fashion lovers alike. They’re styling bralettes under suiting, mixing crop tops with high-waisted midi skirts, and tapping into childhood nostalgia with vintage tees and cutoff jean shorts. And don’t even get us started on our collection of high-waisted jeans and chunky sneakers. Pure casual-cool. With these looks, though, nothing has ever been simpler to craft. Scroll through our favorite easy ’90s outfits below and you’ll be dressing as the better version of your childhood self in no time.
