The '90s was arguably one of the most iconic fashion decades of all time and birthed most of the trends that are still dominating our closet to this day. Icons include (but are not limited to) Run-D.M.C, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, N.W.A and Aaliyah and each set their own '90s styling rules that seriously shook up the game.

'90s hip-hop saw rappers go from musicians to fashion legends and some of the decade's most prominent artists - like Ice Cube, Biggie Smalls and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - influenced a huge rise in the sale of Timberland boots, Dungarees and ultra-baggy joggers.

Although hip-hop music dominated the decade, some subgenres also rose to prominence. Trap music was born and gangsta rap took over the scene. Birthed in the streets of NYC, some of the world's most iconic gangsta rappers took their experiences on the streetsfrom dealing drugs to living in poverty - and turned it into music which quickly took over the industry. Baggy hand-me-down clothing quickly became a staple fashion trend and tracksuitswhich were previously seen as a low-status symbol - started gaining more traction and popularity across the globe
