WHILE the 90s may have been three decades ago, the fashion that made the decade iconic is back on the streets.
It seems we have some of our favorite celebrities to thank for the return of these trends, with names like Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Sabrina Carpenter looking like it’s 1996.
From capri pants to micro bags, the streets are full of trends that will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.
And while there are some ’90s trends we’d rather see behind, slip dresses are a timeless classic that can be a great addition to your wardrobe.
Take inspiration from your favorite celebrity and add some nostalgia to your wardrobe.
You might think some of these trends have long been forgotten, but it’s clear they’re here to stay.

All the 90s trends that are back
It may be 2024, but fashion fans are looking to the past when it comes to new styles. So what ’90s trends are making a comeback these days?
Claw Clips
These hair accessories were a huge trend in the ’90s, but now they’re more popular among those experimenting with the “clean girl” aesthetic. Designers like Prada have released their own versions, although there are thousands of colors and styles to choose from on the high street.
Platform slippers
Again a popular choice among fashionistas in the ’90s, these heels have made a comeback with designers like Balenciaga trying their luck with their own styles.
Cargo pants
Once worn by All Saints stars, cargo pants became a popular trend among teenagers in the ’90s. But now they’ve gotten a fashion makeover, with stars like Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber putting their own spin on the trend.
Jeans and a beautiful top
It was the phrase that defined fashion for a decade, and now famous faces like Sofia Richie are sporting the reinvented trend – pairing their own denim with a more sophisticated top. But are you willing to take your cute jeans and tops out of your wardrobe for a second time?
