In the world of fashion, everything old is always eventually new<\/a> again–and the casual<\/a> cool of the grunge era is that comeback trend that just won’t quit. The nineties look has got serious<\/em> staying power. So break out the slip dress, distressed jeans<\/a>, and some chunky, can’t-be-bothered boots<\/a> for an updated take on ’90s fashion–and maybe add a shimmery eye<\/a> or a high ponytail<\/a> to really set the mood.<\/p>\n

Getting in on the ’90s thing<\/a> doesn’t have to mean you look like you’re headed to a costume party. Ahead,\u00a0 here’s how to dress ’90s and still look totally right now.<\/p>\n

Wear a bodysuit<\/h2>\n

The bodysuit is a quintessential<\/em> ’90s piece. A long sleeve style<\/a> will score you extra throwback points when paired with high-rise denim<\/a> shorts<\/a> and layered gold<\/a> chains.<\/p>\n

Shop Bodysuits<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Layer a slip dress over a top<\/h2>\n

Slip dresses over fitted tops were another signature ’90s look. A snakeskin print midi dress<\/a> over a funnel neck bodysuit<\/a> and platform sneakers<\/a> nails the trend in a modern way.<\/p>\n

Shop Slip Dresses<\/a> and Bodysuits<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rock a cropped cardigan<\/h2>\n

Cardigans had a major moment in the late ’90s, when cropped, midriff-baring versions popped up everywhere<\/em>. Channel Liv Tyler in Empire Records <\/em>by wearing yours buttoned up on its own with a mini skirt<\/a>. Skinny sunglasses<\/a> not required, but highly recommended.<\/p>\n

Tie a flannel around your waist<\/h2>\n

Plaid<\/a> button-ups were a key element of ’90s grunge fashion; a shirt<\/a> haphazardly tied around your waist achieves that effortless vibe, even today. This styling trick is a fun way to add interest–and a sporty edge–to fitted sweater dresses<\/a>\u00a0 and body-skimming styles. Bonus points if you finish off your look with chunky sneakers<\/a> and small sunglasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shop Plaid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wear chunky boots<\/h2>\n

Dr. Martens combat boots<\/a>–and chunky shoes<\/a> in general–were a ’90s fashion staple. Even now, rugged lug-sole boots infuse a dash of punk into any outfit<\/a>. Balance out the bulk by pairing yours with shorter hemlines, ie: denim cutoffs<\/a> or a floaty floral mini dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shop Boots<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuff your jeans<\/h2>\n

Grunge-era denim<\/a> was all about relaxed fits and distressing–and cuffing the hems was a go-to styling hack. Score extra ’90s vibes by wearing your rolled jeans<\/a> with chunky boots<\/a>–and hair<\/a> clips!<\/p>\n

Shop Jeans<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Opt for overalls<\/h2>\n
\"90s

No ’90s wardrobe was complete without overalls<\/a>, and the onesie look still works! We’re not talking about the one-strap-up, Fresh Prince of Bel Air<\/em> kind, either. Streamlined zip-front overalls in sleek black<\/a> make for a throwback look that feels completely modern. Wear yours over a classic white tee<\/a> or sleeveless<\/a> top to get a little grunge–and a lot of chic–all at once.<\/p>\n

Shop Overalls<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
