The ’90s called and they want their sh*t back…

You’re wearing low rise jeans, Britney is blasting through the radio and everything you’re seeking in a relationship is inspired by the iconic Posh and Becks- yep, you’ve woken up in the ’90s.

TikTok has been bursting with ’90s inspired ‘fits of late, many of which are helped along by the vintage and second-hand shopping revival that makes it easy to see, shop and style looks that have nostalgic influences. Alongside the wonders that the high street has to offer, Depop is high on the list of places to go for working this trend into your wardrobe, and it’s good for le old planet too!

If you’re new to the trend but wanna get in on this one quickly, here’s what you need to know, stat: slip dresses, low rise everything, light wash denim, capri pants, crop tops, halter necks, LBDs, mini skirts, chokers, cycling shorts, tie-dye and spaghetti straps galore. As this era was all about celebrity street and red carpet style, it’s always wise we look to the queens of this era when nailing a ’90s inspired look. We’re talking The Spice Girls, Kate Moss, Princess Di (yes we’re still not over her cycling shorts/athleisure looks), Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry and Clare Danes- they are simply chefs kiss and you won’t go far wrong by following in their footsteps.

Some say to avoid the low rise fits and kitten heels, but we’re of the school of thought that there is no such thing as too Extra when it comes to this golden era of fashion. You heard it here first people…

Denim: Completed it. An Extensive Run Down of the Best, Essential Pairs of Jeans In Every Cut

Whether you're about the flared, ripped, mom, skinny, straight leg or relaxed cut, finding the brand and fit of jeans that make you feel 10/10 in front of the mirror is always worth your time...

Now we know what you’re thinking: shopping for denim is up there with buying activewear or bin bags- part of an entirely non-enjoyable shopping experience but a sadly necessary one. But it’s worth pausing to remember that if there’s one small comfort that can be found from lockdown (along with lunch time showers and pyjama bottom Zoom calls) it’s being able to curate, order, try on and decide on your difficult-to-find clothing items from the comfort of your cosy bedroom. Hello post pandemic dinner looks- finding the perfect ‘jeans and a nice top’ bottoms just got a wholeee lot easier.

Denim shopping is the pinnacle of long-term wardrobe gratification that’s worth the initial struggle.

With that being said, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the extensive mom, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend (aunt and uncle jeans anyone?) debacle, you’ve come to the right place! Not only are there endless styles to choose from, but the choice of where to spend your money can be a confusing one too. At one end of the spectrum we have the likes of Gap, Topshop, Mango and Zara- the locations you might want to frequent for your trend led denim picks like flares or super relaxed, wide leg jeans you know only work for certain looks and moods. But combine these picks with your ride or die, ‘can’t live without’ jeans from Levi’s, Frame, & Other Stories and Abercrombie and boom, jean wardrobe: completed it. Narrowing down and checking out the contenders for your perfect fit jeans might not be as easy as your Friday night takeaway ordering (stuffed crust x2 please), but denim shopping is the pinnacle of long-term wardrobe gratification that’s worth the initial struggle.

Whether you’re about the flared, ripped, mom, skinny, straight leg or relaxed cut, finding the brand and fit of jeans that make you feel 10/10 in front of the mirror is always worth your time…
