Baggy and Flared Jeans

Baggy and flared jeans reigned supreme long before skinny jeans was everyone’s favorite jean to wear and they are coming back with a revenge in both male and female fashion trends. Wearing baggy jeans gives you this rebel outlook that leaves head turning at such fashion audacity and confidence. The same can be said for flared jeans which was reincarnated first from the 70’s to the 90’s. They are super stylish and are always a sight to behold when matched with the right ensemble. Both type of jeans can work with any body type and it is a must have if you want a piece of the 90’s trendy fashion action.

Overalls

Overalls or dungrees as we often like to call them are one of my absolute favorite 90’s fashion item at the moment! These sleeveless jumpsuit are trendy, comfortable and so in style. They are flexible and can be worn by both male and female fashion enthusiasts looking to reenact the 90’s fashion look. Overalls come in different fabrics but still serves the same effortless shick looks on both ladies and gents. To rock this 90’s fashion trend, try pairing overalls with a crop top for the ladies and a t-shirt for the gents under real comfy sneakers. Not all fashion trends latest.

Mini backpacks

Mini backpacks are a 90’s kid trendy go to fashion accessory that we have seen come back with a force. Good things they say come in small packages and a mini backpack or fanny pack is a must have for the love of the 90’s! The mini backpack and fanny packs have filled the gap of the demand for more fashion style accessories like the satchel and tote bags. Disregard fashion trends 1920s, Mini backpacks are as functional as it is fashionable because they offer fashion lovers a petite canvas to play with other 90’s fashion trends like the neon colors and leopard prints. Go micro and look 90’s schick!

Tracksuits

Track suits are a category of fashion items known as athleisure. It is no surprise to see track suits in the 90’s fashion trends because they are the next sport- inspired fashion trend to infiltrate the street style alte. Be it classic three striped tracks, color blocked track windbreakers or brand logoed emblazoned track suits – the suit are a necessity for that 90’s fashionable look. The track suit provides duality for both sexes with it’s unisex designs and it’s oversized silhouette fosters what I always love to emphasize on – comfort!  Track suits come in various statement colors and are a leisure look that can be elevated for night time with satin and silk fabrics, depending on your preference.
