I'm sorry, is it 1998?

[WilburIsSomePig]

I went shopping for the first time in ages today and these tops were everywhere. Took me right back to the 90's! I had a fine array of vest tops to put over my tee shirts but I think I'll give it a miss this time round - my very pert 34B kahunas are sadly no longer up to the strain. (Nor are they still 34B or pert ). Isn't it funny how fashions seem to roll back round again?

Hmm, I also just realised that I never really stopped wearing t-shirts under strappy dresses. The main reason I used to do it was because I wanted to hide my bra straps. It was the same in the 90's...

Never got on with body suits. I blamed it on being tall.

I think I wore pretty much all of the worst trends. The most hideous of all would have been the checked trousers. Oh and satin trousers. I thought I looked all supermodely.
Never liked the cargo pants. Those never really seemed to have reached Belgium, same for the sports wear. When I moved to the UK in 1999 (I was 21), I was appalled at the amount of those around. They just seemed so baggy, unflattering and unimaginative to me!

I still have my velvet choker. I must dig it out and wow the teens...

Hanky tops remind me of the early 00's though. And perms and blue mascara are 80's surely?

Oohh, I had a Karen Millen crochet dress!!
Oh God, I though Hyper Hyper was the cats pyjamas..
Also, growing up in the Deep North, we didn't have H an M (Hennes!) and I used to pore over J17 fashion shoots, where everything was from "Hennes". When I finally went to one in London with a cool friend I, of course, pronounced it wrong!

mrsleigh, Lots of tiny t-shirts with cute prints on... Short skirts, opaque tights or flared Levis and daps, Puma, Adidas etc.

TOTALLY this. I lived in this look at uni. My favourite tiny T-shirt said Love Hangover. Oh I adored it!

Blueberry, yes, we all did the carrier bag thing at school. Early in secondary school it was all about Morgan, Adidas etc, but later on I was more of a goth, so my bag was silver with gothy writing, from the local jumble sale-esque quirky vintage emporium.

Are shell suits on the way back? I seem to remember nearly combusting in one whilst going down a slide. This made me snort.

Ahhh hanky tops...i loved those. Had around 3.

Has anyone mentioned those lace-up knee high boots? I was desperate for a pair but my calves were too huge.

Me too, but from a bit further north.

So many clothing memories from the 90's!

1993 and 1994 was grungey stuff like ripped jeans. lumberjack shirts, band tshirts, tie dye, flowery dresses, velvet jackets, tight mini skirts, stripey tights and DMs
1995-1998 was short short Aline skirts, crop tops, chokers, knee high boots, crushes velvet, chiffon tops with a wonderbra underneath, platforms, strappy dresses over tshirts, dungaree dresses and bomber jackets.

DD is only 12 but already has a bomber jacket and lumberjack shirt. I hope this 90's continues for a few years so I can live my teenage years again vicariously through her!

Anyone remember snaffles? Snaffle details on skirt waistbands, on loafers etc?

Loafers and slingbacks. Clumpy horrible slingbacks from Dolcis, or canvas lace-up platforms in baby blue gingham from Miss Selfridge. Or Spice Girl satin platforms.

Satin shirts over A line nylon minis.

I started secondary school in 1995 in paisley long skirts/button-through dresses from Mackays.

And I had a reversible black and silver Tammy Girl bomber jacket in about 1997.

Loafers...I saved up for some Patrick Cox apple green Wannabees

I was born in 1990 so this is great, I get to enjoy the fashion of the 90's that I just about missed out on but without blue glitter eyeshadow, hair gel and lipgloss that tastes of soap

God, Rupert the Bear trousers & satin ones too. Hideous. Really bad. I thought I looked the bollocks though, obvs.

My teenaged daughter is into 90's make up and fashion. Most of it is terrible but I know my mum felt the same about my teenaged fashion choices.

IfNow yes Patrick Cox Wannabees I had some plain black ones and then my boyfriend at the time bought me some Patrick Cox gold and diamanté strappy sandal heels.

I spent an absolute fortune in Karen Millen (don't shop there now though!) and Kookai was another favourite shop similar to Morgan really with more sheer/stretch clothes than you could wave a stick at.

Nom I had both satin and Rupert Bear trousers.

Anyone also remember the trend for laced up corset tops (eg at back, sides etc) I had a denim/chambray material one with leather thongs ties lacing it up at sides. Some of us wanted to look like Victoria Beckham in her Spice Girl David Beckham boyfriend phase. Friend also wore those fishnet tights where the holes were so big they looked like fishing nets! Saw a girl wearing those the other night. You really have to be slim or at least have toned or tanned etc legs to carry those off well!

You dont have to follow trends, I dont remember anyone wearing their undies OVER their clothes unless it was Superman of course!

nannybeach it's not so much fashions like the pic in OP that I remember but very similar style.

Eg white fitted tshirt and black strappy dress (or floral etc) over the top. That was so trendy when it was "in fashion" that literally every second younger woman I saw walking down the street wore this trend.

I don't mind the 90's trends circling back. It was the 80's I couldn't tolerate;)

I left school in 1990.
I was what we thought to be one of the 'alternative' crowd. We rejected the mainstream (or so we thought!) and shunned anything pop, rave or 'straight' as we called it!

We likes the velvet underground, all the older stuff from the 60's and bought so much of our stuff from Afflecks Palace in Manchester: Old Levi's with flare or straight leg, suede jackets, afghan coats with shaggy furry trims, cheesecloth skirts and tops with all sorts of dangly things hanging from them (even tiny mirrors), doc boots, army & navy store rucksacks with CND badges on them.

Oh god and we LOVED the smiths! Went to see Morrissey, Stone Roses, listened to Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, The Doors.....

Tie dyed tights were a thing. Tights under cut off denim.
Those long multi coloured love beads which when they snapped shot most ways across the globe, still finding tiny parts of them if you poke under skirting boards now, haha!

Later 90's I liked long strappy dresses with tees underneath, as Ieft my more 'alt' look behind.

What I only realize now too, is that we were going for a kind of 'anti-sex' look, even if deep down we obviously wanted the usual teen share of male attention. We just sought our own type, the indie boys, haha!

I didn't go near cropped stuff or cute slogans or anything revealing. It reminded me of the 80's and we kind of loathed that look.

Weirdly my body type stayed very much the same, and I do have a midi dress and some great 90's flares from topshop that I very occasionally still wear now, although the sizing was noticeably much smaller.

I'm glad platform ankle boots are back. I used to wear them through the late 90's all the time with wide leg cargo style pants. Got a pair last yr from topshop in leather which are nice to wear under my longer, flappier pants when I'm not in the mood for skinny or straight leg.

I was in Primark a couple of weeks ago and when I announced to ds1 that "I had these exact same shoes when I was 14, these exact ones, everything in here looks like it came from 20 odd years ago" some of the funky young women nearby looked really irritated.

It's annoying, I've been waiting years for the clothes I loved to come back into fashion and now they have I feel too bloody fat and old to wear them for fear of looking ridiculous.

SuperFlyHigh white fitted tshirt and black strappy dress (or floral etc) over the top.

This was my first ever fashionable outfit! Was still in primary school. Remember being embarassed going into a "cool" shop with my mum.

I'm slimmer now than I was as a child/teen and the general population is larger, so tempted to try to carry off some of the fashions this time around. Will look as if I'm in denial about my age though...

Yes indeed and, if you go back to 1993, you'd have found me saying exactly the same thing. How you all laughed and rolled your eyes...

I could say, 'What goes around, comes around' but I'm not like that, oh no not me.

Indeed! I remember my mum saying much the same and thinking "be quiet old woman you know nothing" :)

My mother told me she already owned half these things, then pulled them out of her cupboard (she's bad at chucking stuff out). So I wore it. And my friends asked me where I'd got this cool stuff.

I was into vintage before it was fashionable...

In the 70s and 80s I used to buy 30s/40s tea dresses, show them to my mum and she would say plaintively 'I used to wear them too before the war.'
I never once asked her anything about them, for which I am now thoroughly ashamed.
