A little nostalgia is in order with these old school fashion trends…
Flipping through old photos has been a new hobby of ours while we look for things to do at home. And it’s made us a little nostalgic for the style trends from decades ago. Remember the all-out denim look made famous by then-couple Britney and Justin? Or Paris Hilton’s love for Juicy couture velour? We took to online shopping to seek out our fave 90s and 00s fashion staples – add these to your cart for a blast to the past!
Strappy heels
Who says fashionable heels have to be uncomfortable? The strappy heels trend is here to save your feet and make walking all day a breeze. Slip into a minimal white pair with kitten heels ($59.90) or an eye-catching one in emerald ($139) from Mango.
Baguette bags
The season of micro bags has passed and we can now fit our phones in our bags again (phew!). But the trendy bunch might still be keeping things minimal, thanks to the resurgence of the baguette bag’s popularity. French Connection has some great finds: cop the faux leather number or an elegant quilted version ($70.99 each) from Asos.
Tie-dye tops
You’ve probably seen TikToks of people tie-dying their clothes themselves while staying home. If you’re not confident in your DIY skills, pick up a tie-dye piece from Pomelo. We’ve got our eyes on the fitted long sleeve top ($19.20) and watercolour zipper hoodie ($39.20).
Cute crops
Bare your midriff – or not, if you’re donning high waisted bottoms – with cute crop tops that are essential for a 90s fashion uniform. We sussed out easy-to-style picks from Zalora like the Cotton On striped cami ($10.80) and the Champion everyday crop top ($36.90).
Denim all over
The noughties was big on denim, if Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s iconic all-denim look was any indication (who could forget?). Take cues from this era with a denim jumpsuit from Mango ($99.90) or throw on a simple denim jacket from the Editor’s Market.
Bucket hats
Move over, snapbacks, bucket hats are back. Because what’s a 90s fashion outfit without them? Up your street style ante with a printed Fila bucket hat ($54.60) or an understated white one from Adidas ($39), both available at JD Sports.
Velour hoodies
Remember Paris Hilton and her hot pink Juicy Couture velour hoodie and joggers? It’s time to bring this material back for a nod to the past. Pleasingly, Juicy Couture still makes them – lounge around in this velour hoodie in royal blue ($129.99), complete with the brand name emblazoned in studs across the back.
Scrunchies and hair clips
Not a hat kinda day? Amp up your hairdo with velvet and organza scrunchies ($24.90) or statement pearl hair clips ($14.90) from Zara, guaranteed to add an extra pizazz to your look.
