The looks of ‘90s icons live on ‘in today’s fashion-savvy youth’

Britney Spears can wear anything and look amazing including a yellow snake, or even denim on denim. A daring trend that is back today.

Alicia Silverstone, famous for her diva role in Clueless, could pull off a silk slip dress like no other. She paired the tiny dress with a plain tee shirt and looked fantastic. A street style that I love and have seen many others adapting as well.

The choker movement is a controversial one. You either love them or hate them. I think that they are a sexy accessory that can make any outfit more alluring. You can wear them with anything from a graphic tee to a tight dress meant for a night out on the town. Types of chokers range from a skinny black lace to a thick velvet one, to a simple string with a cute jewel, like a moon, attached. Showing off your belly is seen as a rebellious thing to do. So, of course, crop-tops are a huge favorite for many women. This trend is seen today, but is very different from the one seen in the 1990s.

The 1990s were an iconic time of fashion. The era left the world with long lasting trends that have again appeared in today’s fashion-savvy youth. Whether it is chokers, crop-tops or Doc Marten boots, they are back, and they are not going away.

Grunge is nothing new, it has always been around and I believe it will always be prevalent in fashion. The styles that make up grunge are dynamic and constantly changing. Although there are plenty of fresh fads, right now, fashion is in retrograde.

There is nothing wrong with going backwards. After all, the trends were popular at one time for a reason. The looks of ‘90s-era fashion icons like Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears and Alicia Silverstone will live on forever.

When I think of Gwen Stefani, I think of tiny blonde space buns and crop tops. Sound familiar? That’s because if you look around at any frat party, you’ll see at least three girls in the exact ensemble.

Back then, low-rise jeans were favored, but these days, highwaisted jeans are very popular with a short top. In present day, women can be any shape and size and still rock a cropped shirt. Who cares if you are thicker? Society should not, it is your choice. I say, if you have the confidence to wear it, then you should wear it.

I do not own a pair of actual Doc Martens myself, but I do have a pair of army boots. Like the ’90s, they pair all too well with some faded denim jeans or sheer black tights for women. As for men, any pair of jeans with rolled bottoms go hand in hand with the boots. In today’s realm of fashion, if there is any ’90s trend you are dying to try out, go ahead and do it; grunge is in, throwback is in, so have fun with it.
