‘90s Fashion: Grunge Wear
Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, was an inspiration for the grunge look that made its entrance into mainstream fashion in the ‘90s. Flannel shirts become popular, which lasted the majority of the decade as these were padded and loose, the style also incorporated acid wash denim jackets, wool jumpers, black leather jackets, sheepskin coats, Members Only Jackets, Corduroy and Anoraks.
Let's not forget the fashion at festivals, take a look at the picture of All Saints (below) from the Virgin Media V Festival in 98. Grunge at its best.
‘90s Fashion: Cute Baby Wear
Cher and Clueless became part of our culture with baby doll dresses and thigh-high stockings becoming part of our day to day wear. This was enhanced by the arrival of the Spice Girls, with pink and baby blue taking dominance for baby spice, crop tops for Sporty, and Union Jack motifs most famously worn by Geri, which was inspired by the ‘Cool Britannia’ movement.

The Beverly Hills: 90210 were wearing it which made it a staple in many people’s wardrobes, double denim and baggy denim shirts were also the order of the day.
