Do the current fashion trends remind anyone else of 90s/early 00s fashion?

I keep seeing young women/girls in flared or baggy jeans and trousers, cropped or low cut tops tops and oversized jackets.

Reminds me so much of what my friends and I wore in the 90s and early noughties.

I know fashions come and go and I'd like to think that as a mum in my late thirties I'm still fashionable but seeing girls going round dressed like I did in my teens makes me a bit nostalgic.

Yes. It's meant to.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/03/2022 22:23

It was always going to be just a matter of time, after so many years of skinny jeans. I'm finding it quite refreshing.

shivermetimbers77 · 19/03/2022 22:29

Oh yes absolutely, it all looks very 90s at the moment … I sometimes find it funny to see groups of girls going around dressed in exactly the same thing: completely identical baggy jeans or trousers, crop tops , big trainers and straightened hair. Then I remember my friends and I did exactly the same thing, even down to us all wearing the same colour nail varnish Grin

Yes. Watching Top of the Pops 1992 last night and I commented to DH that the outfit Betty Boo was wearing was peak 2022 fashion Grin

RoastedFerret · 19/03/2022 22:39

I've even seen young ones on Tiktok flirting with the idea skinny eyebrows Shock

withiceplease · 19/03/2022 22:39

My youngest basically dresses like Buffy the vampire slayer. Idk if this is now behind the curve as she is 19

shivermetimbers77 · 20/03/2022 00:08

Skinny eyebrows will be back in the next two years , I guarantee it!!

CollyFleur · 20/03/2022 00:10

Yes. Came across a photo of myself aged 18 the other day. Wearing exactly the kind of outfit that 16yo DD wears most days.

BadPlaceJanet · 20/03/2022 00:28

I was on a bus a couple of years back and a teenager got on in a flowery slip dress and DM boots, flannel shirt tied round her waist. Exactly the look my friends and I had circa 1995. Gave me a really visceral jolt of nostalgia.

I love seeing this stuff come back. Especially the looser jean styles with crop tops. I loved that look when I was slim with a tiny flat stomach 😍

CovoidOfAllHumanity · 20/03/2022 00:37

My DD was rocking a stripy long sleeved crop top with ripped baggy jeans and DMs today and an oversized suede jacket on top when she went out. I would have worn almost exactly the same stuff in the 90s
She loves all things 90s including Nirvana and the Breakfast Club.
I'm happy that I can relate but I do think 'can't you get your own stuff??'

chatw0o0 · 20/03/2022 04:00

Yes! It gives me hope and makes me feel ancient, both at the same time Grin. Quite fancy getting some bright white Reebok Classics and joining in!

Justilou1 · 20/03/2022 04:32

It’s called 90’s retro chic for a reason.

yorkshireteaspoonie · 20/03/2022 06:10

Yep it's all back in fashion. Personally I like it and enjoy seeing them all in the clothes of my youth!

Lookingforanswers202 · 20/03/2022 06:22

I love it! Do you think the seater shop will come back? 😁

Lookingforanswers202 · 20/03/2022 06:22

*sweater

yorkshireteaspoonie · 20/03/2022 06:47

It's already doing a booming trade on eBay. £20-£40 for a classic sweater shop. Weirdly i seem to remember all the patterns too 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lookingforanswers202 · 20/03/2022 07:19

Might have to see what’s tucked away at the back of my wardrobe in my parent’s house there might me some 90s vintage lurking in there!

DuckyNoMates · 20/03/2022 07:22

There is hope for all of us who overplucked!

@CovoidOfAllHumanity

The Breakfast Club was released in 1985.

Personally, I'm welcoming the return of the tanktop, as a way of allowing pale faced, big boobed people like me to get away with a white shirt.

Floisme · 20/03/2022 08:21

90s fashion was largely 70s fashion. Meet your nemesis. It happens to us all.

HellieOldie · 21/03/2022 20:00

I remember this from the 70s. Can’t bring myself to do it this time!

Gonnagetgoing · 22/03/2022 10:00

God yes! Cropped tops, flares etc

Pinkflask · 22/03/2022 10:03

Sweater Shop has been back in for ages - first saw one of my sixth formers wearing one about three years ago!

DoubleGauze · 22/03/2022 10:05

Totally. My teenager wears cropped tops , brown bootcut jeans and airmax 90 trainers. She also has a slip dress.

RosieBdy · 22/03/2022 10:14

Absolutely- I mentioned that to my teenage daughter on Saturday when she picked something up... She wasn't particularly impressed that her ancient mother used to wear exactly the same! Grin
