The fashion world is known for its cyclical nature, where old trends often make a thriving return to the runway and the streets. It’s no secret that the ‘90s have been a recurring source of inspiration for designers and enthusiasts, and hence, we have been witnessing several fashion trends making a comeback.
In the article below, we have mentioned some trends that were iconic back in the ‘90s and are still legendary after they have made their successful comeback. Let’s check the list, shall we?
1. Corsets
These are no longer confined to being an intimate-wear item like in the nineties and are now worn on their own and over dresses, shirts and even blazers. This clothing allows women to accentuate their bodies by constricting the waist and we are so glad for these – once again!
2. High-Waist Mom Jeans
These jeans have made a triumphant return, offering ease and fashion in one package. In the 90s, these jeans were highly fashionable and comfortable, and now, it’s still a must-have clothing in our fashion-forward wardrobes.
3. Bike Shorts
From being a famous athleisure wear back in the nineties (thanks to Karisma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai) to becoming a chic piece of clothing for comfort and coziness, these shorts have come a long way. Be it a brunch date or a workout session, all one needs to do is pair this with a t-shirt or an oversized blazer, and voila!
4. Ruffled Sarees
I still remember swooning over the veteran actor Mumtaz in Brahmachari’s Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche song, all thanks to her gorgeous orange-hued ruffled saree. With the comeback of this fashion trend, traditional sarees have got a vibrant and rich touch, making them a perfect pick for the festive season.
5. Cardigans
We have all seen our grandmothers and mothers wearing humble cardigans during the winter season, and it has now made a comeback and how. From oversized and cropped to embellished, these cardigans are paired with skirts and shorts for an oh-so-adorable look.
6. Shararas
From Pakeeza’s Meena Kumari and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge’s Kajol to Bajiraao Mastaani’s Deepika Padukone, we have been watching actors donning these stunning bottoms for a long time. These wide-legged pants are now a hit fashion statement in the bridal and festive wear.
7. Knee Socks
These retro knee-high socks are no longer just associated with school uniforms. In fact, these are now a modern addition to our overall look and are often worn with mini skirts and shoes for that flawless Y2K look.
8. Flared Pants
Another trending bottom that shook the fashion industry with its comeback is the iconic flared pants. These bottoms – be it in denim or linen – add a touch of drama and bohemian flair to one’s wardrobe.
9. Denim Overalls
Remember how adorable Shirley (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) in Josh looked when she wore those denim overalls aka dungarees? I never had the chance to wear them back then but I’m so glad that these are back in trend.
10. Sheer Dresses
These delicate dresses add an ethereal charm to one’s entire look. These can be layered over bodysuits and dresses to ace that sensual yet sophisticated look. From Zendaya to Priyanka Chopra, everyone’s welcoming this trend back with open arms.
These revived fashion trends bring nostalgia and we are loving it!
