Fashion is constantly recycled from past decades. The ‘90s gave to the world an especially distinct look full of color and interesting combinations. Let’s coax this ‘90s style out of hiding with a few, simple fashion choices.

1. Legwarmers

It’s still chilly enough outside to slip on those knit legwarmers. Show your calves a little love. 

 

2.  High-waisted jeans

The best kind of high-waisted jeans border on mom jeans: loose around the legs and tight around the waist. A few rips and tears make them more modern.

 

3. Big sweaters 

The bigger, the better. These sweaters should fall anywhere from high to mid-thigh and be striped with color. Ragstock always carries a supply of knits that, although they may be a little itchy, would work perfectly.

 

4. High half-ponytails

Don’t forget about the scrunchie!

 

5. Jean jackets

They’re warm, they’re comfortable, and they look like they belong to your guy. It’s impossible not to look cute in one.

 

6. Chokers

I don’t think that these will ever go out of style. Honestly, they never should!

 

7. Overalls

You can wear it with one strap, both straps, with a t-shirt, or a bandeau. It’s among the most versatile of ‘90s garb. Hell, maybe even go for the full denim dress. 

 

8. Colorful, cropped t-shirts

 

9. Flared jeans

Go big or go home.

 

10. Flower clips

Channel Lizzie McGuire and add a little spring flair to your do. They don’t look childish if you wear them proudly.

 

11. Crimped hair

If you’re not ready to invest in a crimper just yet, make your hair damp and leave a few small braids in your hair overnight. Or you can borrow mine.

 

12. Circular sunglasses

Beat the glare with a new pair. Try different color tints if you’re feeling bold.

Lauren is a spiritual, sarcastic science-geek from just outside of Philadelphia, PA. She studies cellular & molecular biology with a minor in writing at the University of Michigan. She's been labeled an "old soul" but can also demonstrate a lack of adult-like qualities. When she's not furiously taking notes in a lecture hall or blogging, you might find her practicing yoga, being unproductive with her roommates, reading, drawing, or meditating. Or watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a big bag of popcorn in her lap. Or looking at pictures of her dogs and wishing that her parents would ship them to Ann Arbor.
