The ’90s decade was a time of revolutionary fashion. From denim to platform shoes to scrunchies and more, these trends are a source of nostalgia for many of us. The obsession with the ’90s style is back and better than ever.

  1. Scrunchies– This iconic hair trend is a stylish version of a simple hair tie. Pair it with any outfit to use for pulling hair back , or even as an accessory to complete your look.

    Senior Meredith Paloucek pairs a half updo hairstyle with a scrunchie on her wrist to bring her ’90s look together.
  2. Denim on Denim – This ’90s look brings the highest level of ’90s nostalgia.   Pair a simple pair of jeans with a jean jacket, or even rock a denim skirt and jacket together.

  3. Converse– From a simple white pair to a bold colored pair of converse, it’s unlikely this everyday tennis shoe will ever go out of style.
  4. Vans–  These shoes give major ’90s vibes. Pair with a casual denim look or even dress them up with a skirt.
