Take the nostalgic route and adopt trends that have their roots firmly in the ’90s – plaid shirts to dad jeans and bum bags.
Grunge meets hip-hop, as we throwback to the most iconic looks of the '90s (without climbing in a time capsule). Mix and match your modern wardrobe with style favourites from the decade.
MAD FOR PLAID
The plaid shirt is and will always be quintessentially ’90s – the grunge look made famous by Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain is now adopted by the likes of Pharrell Williams. If you tie the shirt around your waist or leave it unbuttoned to show off your graphic T-shirt it will instantly modernise the look.

MUST-HAVE: DAD DENIMS
Dad jeans have a relaxed fit that skim your legs as opposed to hugging them. Roll up the bottom of the jeans to show off your cool printed socks and kicks so that your style is more in tune with the times.

GO TUCK YOURSELF
Now you see it out, now you don’t. Borrowing from dad’s style, the full-tuck T-shirt is a big hit, especially if you’re wearing a really cool belt. Nothing in fashion is done without cause.

SNAPBACK TO REALITY
You couldn’t look left or right in the '90s without seeing a snapback cap. Wear your snapback with swag and re-live the hip-hop glory days. Wear it backwards for extra-cool brownie points.

IT’S A BIKER’S LIFE
Who says you need to be on an actual motorbike to look good in leather? No one. The truth is, leather jackets have never gone out of style. But they did have their shining moment in the '90s.
