90s night!

Lemonsand · 06/02/2019 12:11

I have a 90s event/party and am clueless to what I should wear? I know there will be some full on fancy dress but I'm not really in to that. I was thinking normalish clothes with a hint to the 90s? Any ideas?

Watch Clueless for tips.

I'm thinking platform boots, tartan dress? Maybe a smear of Heather shimmer?

Lemonsand · 06/02/2019 12:17

Ah yes I had forgot about clueless! Still love that film Smile thanks for the idea!

Skinny white short sleeve t shirt, strappy babydoll dress, dms, bjork knots in your hair and a choker. And heather shimmer.

Combat trousers and a vest
Slip dress with a white t shirt and chunky trainers
A choker

Parka and sunglasses. Go as Liam Gallagher.

Spice girls! Plenty of choice there 🤣

In the 90s I was mostly wearing nighties from M and S as dresses I seem to remember. Or T shirts that were far too small, with something glittery on them, with cords.
Nowadays I would wear a red wig, an awful suit, a torch and an FBI badge and go as Dana Scully.

Lemonsand · 06/02/2019 12:34

Thanks for all the ideas! I'm loving the white tshirt and slip dress idea. Easy and cheap Grin although am very tempted to go as Liam Gallagher now!

I clicked to see what people would come up with as I was stumped by your title. In the nighties I wore baggy jeans with tee shirts under open plaid shirts with leather bracelets and just washed not at all styled hair, no makeup and comfortable shoes. I struggle but manage to keep just a level or two above this nowadays. Hair is groomed, make up is on, leather bracelets are a thing of the past but I could easily unravel into grunge at any moment basically.

Are you near a primark? Tie dyed slip dresses in there! Wear with white t shirt under. alternatively an A-line mini skirt

Agree also:

Trainers or dms

Choker

Bjork topknots

Muddlingalongalone · 06/02/2019 20:00

Short skirt, vest top, doc martens and a velvet choker

CountFosco · 07/02/2019 14:26

DMs, ckOne, tiny a-line mini, child's t-shirt.

Somewhat horrified that the clothes of my 20s are now considered fancy dress.
