It is important to note that when rocking 90’s styles, care must be taken to get the overall look just right, else, you may end up looking trashy. To look stylish and appropriate the retro way, take a cue from the steps below:

Grungy style

This is a punk/sloppy look that doesn’t require much time. Wear loose fitting clothes, for instance, a t-shirt over baggy jeans or mum jeans; ripped baggy jeans on a t-shirt. For this look, the hair doesn’t need too much work. Inspiration for t-shirts for this look can be taken from clothes that have famous logos on them.

Girly look

For this, wear baby doll dresses – these dresses are usually floral prints and short-sleeved, and can be paired with boots, sneakers and jeans jacket to give the 90’s feel. Body conscious gowns; crop tops paired with high waist jeans, and tight-fitting tees were also trendy for women in the 90’s and can work for this look. Get creative by adding skater skirts. Pleated skirts can also be rocked with crop tops or fitted tees and a pair of sneakers.

Accessories

You can use multicolored hair clips, headbands, bandanas or vintage scarves. You can also add colourful beads to your braids – wooden beads will bring out the best effect.

Plaids

Also known as flannel shirts, you can spice up the look with plaid skirts, cardigans, overalls or plaid dresses.

Overalls

For creative effect, leave the clasps undone.
