Style 90s

Fashion has a tendency to come back, and today even now we sometimes gladly nostalgic for the madness of the 90s, when, it would seem, they were wearing everything, but on the other hand, everyone clearly understood that it was “fashionable”, and that was “scoop” and yesterday". The rebellious and defiant style of the 90s is a great idea for a stylized party or disco.

The fashionable madness of the 90s in Russia was caused by the unprecedented accessibility of things for those times: everything that people saw only in magazines or on TV (and in very dosage quantities!) Rushed to stores, markets and flea markets.

General trends were borrowed from the world's catwalks, but they were read in a very peculiar way. The issues of compatibility of things with each other, taking into account the peculiarities of the figure, the concept of “not going” didn’t care much: if a thing is bought, it must be worn! All this has formed a very special style, which today is still too early to record in "retro".

Fashionable signs of the era:

• Denim. Denim was on the crest of fashion. It's not just about pants, shorts and skirts. Bags, accessories, shoes - from denim or with a "denim" print - were the most popular and favorite. The nineties were a time of minimalism, sporty style, military, grunge, hippie - in all these styles, denim fits better than anyone else.

• Mini. By that time, the fashion had already “got sick” with mini-skirts of the 60-70s, but this time everything was shortened - both shorts and even T-shirts (the notorious “tops”).
• Prints. The brighter the better. The most popular are animalistic (leopard, zebra, tiger) and, of course - inscriptions. Best of all, in English.
• Neon colors. Light green, fuchsia, canary, bright orange, purple. They were not solely flowers for a party, things of such bright colors could easily be worn daily.

• Broad shoulders. As if in contrast to the “bottom” covered with leggings, the upper part of clothes with wide voluminous shoulders was at the height of fashion. Fit jackets, jackets suggested bulk pad. At least one such jacket was surely in every woman of fashion.

• Attributes sports style. Trousers with stripes, jacket-bombers (popularly called “olympic shirts” and “trowels”) and sneakers came into vogue. These things boldly mixed with more neutral in style jeans or dresses.

• Bright accessories. Large colored earrings, bracelets, rings could be plastic, wooden, metal, woven of threads. A bright omen of time - plastic badges and the prototype of today's fashion choker - a necklace woven from plastic threads (“tattoo”).

The style of the 80-90s in clothes was dictated by famous supermodels, which today are already considered “grandmothers”: Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss.

All of them were shot in an advertisement for denim brands, promoting fashionable denim clothing. Jeans-bananas (straight-cut trousers, tapering downwards, often with an elastic band or drawstring at the waist), "boyfriends" or straight skin-tight jeans are considered to be favorites of those times. After Cindy Crawford appeared in Pepsi commercial, the classic “American” look came in fashion: straight jeans, a white tight T-shirt, a fluffy hairstyle.

Another memorable image - Demi Moore in the movie "Ghost": she is dressed in deliberately wide jeans, shapeless T-shirts and "dead" sneakers.

As for color, classic light blue was considered the most fashionable. At the same time, whitened denim - “boiled” - came into use.

To look sexy in jeans of such styles and colors, you need to have a very slim figure: shaping is in vogue, and hence the corresponding clothing - leggings, "bicycles".Tights or leggings of various colors were worn with denim miniskirts, tunics, T-shirt dresses and even coats.

From the clothing for fitness "out" and then fashionable accessory - a bright knit headband. She was worn simply with her hair loose, under her bouffant, with a tail. In the fashion was a perm, a huge fleece and bangs, which are usually twisted inside and literally "stood" from the abundance of hairspray.

Sport-chic is a style direction that in the 90s was popular not only in street fashion, but also among the stars. Participants of the cult group Spice Girls, Gwen Stefani from No Doubt, actresses of the TV series “Charmed” and “Beverly Hills 90 210” wore shortened, bright tops, combining them with high-waisted trousers or denim skirts. A shirt or jacket was put on top of the top.

Leather clothing - jackets, miniskirts - from the 80s migrated to the 90s. Women of fashion wore leather vests and trousers.

Everybody loved sweaters - both children and adults. The women's sweater of those times was, as a rule, an angora, the neck was a collar-collar. The flowers were decorated with beads, beads or sequins. Young girls tried to buy such large-sized sweaters to achieve the oversight effect. And sometimes they just specially stretched! Combined such a huge sweater with leggings or colored tights.

Fashionable dresses and t-shirts are printed. In the West, inscriptions were popular, in Russia - images of heroes of cartoons: Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Baggs Bunny, and after the release of the film “Titanic”, the T-shirt or top featuring Leo Di Caprio and Kate became the top selling item on the markets and stores.

Make-up of the 90s in the truest sense can be called "war paint". To be beautiful and bright was normal for a woman on the periphery, and for a celebrity. The emphasis was on both the lips and the eyes. Eyeshadow with mother of pearl, color eyeliner, dark lipstick - this is makeup in the spirit of the 90s. Eyebrows made narrow, like strings.

The fashion for a healthy lifestyle did its job: men in the 90s massively dressed in sportswear. Training suit or clothing with the image of the logos Reebok, Adidas, Nike have become part of the everyday image. Shoes - sneakers or sneakers.

Jeans and trousers were wide enough. Men also wore “bananas” with elastic, and strict trousers had a lot of belt folds.

In 1992, the fashion house Versace presented a collection of business clothes: crimson jackets in combination with gray pants. Unprecedented trend spread very quickly, and soon bright jackets began to sew not only in China, but also in Russian factories. The crimson jacket has become a symbol of a successful man, the “master of life”. Designers offered other color options - yellow, red, green - but they did not take root.

A sweater with an ornament is a real must have for a man from the 90s. In this, you could go to work, combining it with classic trousers or jeans, and you can - and to rest outside the city. It was not considered shameful to wear it with sweatpants.

The youth sought to show their rebellious spirit in clothes: Kurt Cobain was the style icons (his grunge negligence was adopted - elongated stale shirts, ripped jeans, voluminous sweaters and checkered shirts), and, of course, Russian rock idols: Igor Talkov, Victor Tsoi, Yuri Shevchuk.

Fashionable men's accessories of those years - a man purse, an electronic watch on a metal strap. Wealthy people showed their wealth, putting on massive gold chains and rings.

For a themed party or a concert of the Disco of the 90s, the best thing is to find things straight from those years - surely they are still in the closet. The girls are perfect short bright tops, T-shirt with "Titanic" or the application of "D & G". Brave and slender, you can combine them with leggings and ... everything! For shy girls, denim shorts or the famous Lambada skirt (short denim skirt of two frills with lace and Lambada) will be useful.

Jeans cut 90s can be found in the collections of ASOS, H & M, Bonprix. A wide choice of wide-legged trousers or “bananas” is sold through catalogs of German firms such as Quelle. Authentic option would be "boiled" jeans Mawin ("malvina") or "Montana". You can buy them online.

Young people can wear the famous Boys sweater (Turkish-made sweater with Boys Team inscription), Montana jeans and a trendy baseball cap with an eagle and USA inscription in the mid-90s. To the place will be an original Adidas tracksuit with white sneakers. From above you can wear a leather jacket.

To create a hairstyle you will need a lot of hairspray - the most fashionable girls wore fluffy bouffant and be sure to bang! From above it is possible to apply a varnish with spangles.

Another popular hairstyle - "tail-fountain" - on top, at the very top. You can make it not from the whole mass of hair, but only from the top beam, and leave the rest loose.
