Are the early 90s back in style?

[Deleted]

I'm flipping through my new Lands End Catalog and it is showing lots of dresses that fall mid-calf...... 

[joenali]

Dresses from Lands End are usually shorter???

[Deleted]

Yes. You obviously haven't been to a mall. It's been 1993 for some time now.

[mrspez07]

Neon colors are definitely back in, circa 1992.

[pixy0stix]

Yes. Which unfortunately means crop tops EVERYWHERE.

[josieposy]

I just want my flannel shirts back.

Yikes. I thought that was the 80s. I am old

[IIOY]

I was amused that the Lands End catalog I received today had two people in it with tattoos.

I'll be happy to see the 90's return in force if it means looser fit jeans will finally come back into style. Skinny jeans are the devil.

Holy shit. We are at an amusement park today and I asked this exact same question! Everyone looks like an LA Gear ad!!!

[Cicero]

Don't forget the high waisted skirts and mom jeans.

I still blast that album AND the acoustic version. That was and still is my personal soundtrack.

[pugz]

Hate all the neon out now. Hate.

My 16 year old daughter asked me today if I would buy her some high-waisted shorts. I said, "Why? I mean, I know they're in style, but they look good on NO ONE." She gave me the evil eye and said, "I just want them, Mom. JEEZ! :::hair flip, eye roll:::."

So...yeah. She'll pair those bitches with a crop top and I'll be back in 1992.

[LoveTrains]

The kids are all over the doc martens at the school I work at.

[moreace01]

Neon is back this year?

*whispers* yay...i really want a pair of neon heels...

[Dumbledork]

It's been a nationwide Kelly Kapowski look-alike contest for a couple years now though, hasn't it? Neons, highwaisted shorts, crop tops, bandeau tops, crazy florals, etc. I think neons started two years ago, but last summer was big on the 90s trends.

Now that you mention it, she was the first one I remember seeing in all this, especially the shorts.

[Velar Fricative]

I've been hearing from you guys that whippersnappers these days are dressing like it's the 90s again but I honestly haven't noticed this at all. I need to pay more attention.

[romigu]

Ugh. I can't stand the high waisted short shorts. They were everywhere last summer and I'm seeing them pop up again. Is it really necessary to emulate every decade fashion trend?

[litebright]

I saw a girl at H&M the other day in baggy print overalls with one strap down and felt like I was flashing back to junior high in the 80s. The same day I passed a woman wearing a shorts jumpsuit, which I don't think I've ever seen IRL on anyone over the age of 5.

Sadly, I actually like the shorts jumpsuits. I'm glad I'm pregnant so I can spare myself another round of fashion faux pas

[josieposy]

If I see kids in my area dressing like characters from Clueless and My So-Called Life I will be all over that! Bring on the slipdresses with t-shirts and the chunky heels!

My mom said this exact same thing to me about bell bottoms fifteen years ago.

[sushi]

Overall shorts. Gag.

Flannel shirts, baggy jeans, docs, black nail polish.. That's my style.

[pixy0stix]

Wait, is flannel back? Can we make this a thing? I'd rock some flannel.

[SallyJ]

Flannel, doc martins, and overalls are definitely in. Add crop tops, neon and ugly floral patterns to the mix. It's weird and nostalgic while shopping now.

If the crowd that rides my bus is an indication, yes. Rock your flannel girl.
