The most common misconception about fashion is that the latest trends are new. Trends are never new, rather they are past trends that have been recycled and revamped. Currently, the ’90s have made a comeback.
Although this era was mostly known for its grudge, it is also known for the rise of girl power. Girl groups, such as the Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child, sang anthems revolving around women taking charge of their lives, supporting other women and owning their sexuality. In addition to singing about these various feminist topics, their clothing also insinuates these messages as well.
Women of the ’90s wore feminine clothing pieces that were accompanied by edgy accessories. As stated before, this trend still holds true to today. Here is a small list of the best and most common looks that have resurrected today:
- The Leather Moto Jacket
- Slip Dresses
- Choker Necklaces
- Scrunchies
- Mom Jeans
- Jean skirts
- Cropped Tops
- Tube Tops
- Jean Jackets
- Off the Shoulder Tops
The history that is woven into the fabric of these clothing items represents the power women were striving towards, and the strides women have made today. The draw towards ’90s clothes has to do with movements such as the #MeToo and Times Up movements. Women are speaking out and taking back their bodies. We as women are coming together to speak out about how we should not be shamed for the way we choose to dress. Showing a lot of skin, or no skin. Wearing tight clothing or loose clothing.

We are living in a new era where women are finally being heard. Although there are still hurdles to overcome, a woman who is wearing a strong outfit, who feels comfortable in how she feels in it is unstoppable. The ’90s clothing trend has provided the same type of power and confidence for women as they have done before.
