Ohhhh the 90s! we just love that period! the colors, the funky patterns, from the effortless grunge style to the iridescent club kid look , were going through all these most loved 90s fashion trends and giving them a new modern streetwear twist!
Remember biker shorts?
yup, back then everyone who was anyone sported them, Axel Rose to paula abdul , and those funky dancers is MC Hammers " cant touch this " video.
modern twist: You can get all the fun prints and neon colors that those bitchin biker shorts had with printed leggings! They offer a bit more coverage which makes your stems look super long and keep you warm when the temperature drops. Pair your printed leggings with a slouchy top for a fresh take, and to help you avoid any camel toe or the dreaded VPL - its coverage at its best!

Shorts over printed tights
these 90s clothes staple Were everywhere you looked. pop stars rocked them, grunge gods rocked them too. you really couldn't get away from this 90s trend for a while there!
Modern Twist: pants on tights will still look cool, but if you want a fun (and warmer ) twist for winter, try shorts over leggings! super cute and fun 90s grunge fashion with the essential layered look mixed in.

oversized Blazer Jackets
Now these were huge! and they were worn over everything! jeans, shorts, skirts and leggings, you name them. Printed were good, load colors were better! just ask the undoubted style icons of the time, Like the 90s icons Jenny Garth & Shannen Doherty (Kelly & Brenda from Beverly hills 90210), and Cindy Crawford who used to sport this look all the time.
Modern Twist: Try out a fitted printed blazer. the 90s blazers were big and boxy, but a modern slouchy rockstar jacket that has some figure hugging elements over a slouchy top and skinny jeans will look super fresh and modern. a fun print, and some combat boots and your ready to go!

Over The Top Printed Windbreakers
windbreakers you say? oh that is so 80s! well, it is, but for the most part of the begging of the 90's the fashion was like 80s fashion on speed - loader, bigger, and flashier. Many of the time fave stars sported load campy windbreakers, like the fresh prince himself - will smith, almost every rapper of the days (yup hardcore rapping was way more colorful and fun than today) and Brian Austin Green (a.k.a David Silver from Beverly Hills 90210). If you wanted to show you have street cred, you wore a windbreaker!
Modern Twist: Although the 90s windbreakers were made out of the cheapest plastic based fabrics you can find, today's windbreakers come in really nice sleek looking fabrics like satin and high quality poly blends. which means they look waaaay more classier, and chick. try giving it a modern twist with a monochromatic pattern or even muted colors that make it super feminine. wear the windbreaker over-sized with some denim shorts and a cute t shirt (or a bodysuit:))

Oversized Denim Jackets and Shirts
2pac looked bad ass in them and he represented for the whole bay area crew. and as we all know to well, when it comes from the streets, it catches on like fire. after a while everyone wore baggy denim tops, from wannabe gangsters in suburbia to Eminem (which is pracically the same we guess... :))
Modern Twist: This was mostly a masculine trend, worn with baggy jeans and a baseball top. Give it your own modern touch by taking an oversized mens shirt and wear it as is over colored skinny jeans or leggings. you can also layer it over a baggy T shirt, just make sure if you go bulky on top, keep yer legs skinny!
Another cute option is wearing an oversized men's denim top with a tight little t shirt and skater skirt, for the ultimate Masculin meets Feminine look!

Biker Jackets
in any style and cut, made out of leather usually, and huge shoulder pads. This was a pop / hip hop look that was sported by stars from the 80s (michael Jackson) to the early 90's ( Salt n Pepper ).
Modern Twist : You can never go wrong with a good biker jacket, that is an investment that will pay itself off for years to come, because this cut never really goes out of style! pick a modern one (no should pads girls ) in a basic color range that can serve you well and mix it up a flirty skirt and heels for a girly look, or with a tube mini skirt , opaque tight and a printed t shirt for a hard rock chick look.

Neons
Need we say more? Neons were everything in the early 90's! neon print t shirts, neon hot pants, neon leggings neon bangles (well you get the drift)
Modern Twist : Neon is a statement , and a bold one. Avoid looking trashy by introducing one (yes one!) neon item to you look. If its a neon top - keep it monochrome with the skirt / pants and top. if its neon skinny jeans (swoon! ) keep the top plain. you have one fun item, dont over load it!
Dont want to commit to a neon garment? accessorize! you can pair neon accessories with a black and white getup - black skinnies, a slouchy white printed T shirt and a bowler hat, and you will look so cool you wont be able to stop checking your reflection out wherever you go.

Bodysuits
Worn usually as tops with jeans over them, this relic of the 80's get physical movement ruled until the mid 1990's, untill it was replaced by separates - racer back sports bras and biker shorts.
Modern Twist : bodysuits are all about fun - go wild with colors and prints, wear them with jeans, with a flirty skirt, as long as you keep the bottom part neutral your ready to go! try wearing them with a blazer over for a super stylish look.The best thing about bodysuits, is they act as the perfect shirt that never rides up! and most double as bathing suites, so this is a 2 in one bonanza.

Bodycon long sleeve rockstar dresses
Well hello Kelly Bundy! Guys couldn't get enough of her, girl wanted to look like her. She represented the whole rock chick movement to the T - the big poofie hair, those skin tight dresses and those cowboy heel boots. This hot chick look got so intense it peeked with the waynes World movies ( Tia Carrera looked like a goddess in these movies) but as the 90's came to a close fashion became simpler, and this amazingly sexy rock chick style died off.
Modern Twist : You can still look like a rock goddess today, just tone it down a notch. Try a super hot bodycon long sleeve dress - you can have fun with prints, or studding even as long as you keep every other aspect minimal - the hair the bag, and makeup too.

Tight tube mini skirts
These are another 80's relic of the Rock Chick look, but were more versatile, so they drissled into almost every fashion scene in the 90s. Hey Tiffany Amber Thiesen (saved by the bell, Beverly Hills 90210 ) wore those. and if its good enough for her it was definitely good enough for us!
modern twist : Although most of the skirts in the 90s fashion trend were more like constrictive denim tube skirts, try a fun spandex skirt 80's style mini skirt they are so much easier to move it, they look hot, and the print looks like it was liquefied on your body. Scortch! pair it with a large t shirt (raid your boyfriends closet for that one ) and some hoop earring. But keep it with flats - or flat platforms - sandals, creepers, boots whatever you choose. Just dont go for heels, it gives it a slutty edge we would rather leave behind in that decade.

Velvet Chokers with pendants
Drew Barrymore, Shannon Doherty, Alicia Silverstone , Liv Tyler -you name it, they all sported these. it was a soft girly twist on a very goth concept. made you look like a bad girl, and we loved every moment of it!
Modern Twist : Try a geometric pendant, which has those Gothic elements with a more modern look, or a whimsical animal pendant (which looks really fresh right now) pair it with your fave wool beanie, a cute t shirt and a flirty skirt to create a street wear girly edge.
