Comeback Kid: The Only Five '90s Fashion Trends That REALLY Matter
ICYMI: The ‘90s are officially back. Missy Elliott performed at the Super Bowl halftime show, Kate Moss is everywhere, and even Johnny Depp is looking like his younger self. What’s more, there are also a ton of noticeably ‘90s-inspired street style trends happening in the world right now—but only a few that really matter.
We scoured the globe to come up with a solid list of the five ‘90s fashion trends that are officially back—and that we care about. If you loved Clueless, obsessed over everything Liv Tyler ever did, and kept your eyes peeled for all things Winona Ryder, then this one goes out to you.
Keep scrolling to see (and shop) the five 90s trends that are back in a big way!
