’90s Inspired Lookbook / Outfit Ideas 

The nineties were chock full of everything from chokers, to overalls, to mom jeans, to Birkenstocks and so on. The fashion was simple while still different from the other decades coming in first on my list of favorites (the seventies coming in a close second). 

I’d like to say I was a ‘nineties baby’ but unfortunately, I missed the cut off by a couple of years, lol. However, that has not stopped my love for the nineties fashion revival from growing even bigger. 

I am such a sucker for old school clothes. I love love love when designers bring back old trends and implement them into their current collections and such. Today I’m sharing a nineties inspired lookbook solely from clothes I already had in my closet. I was honestly shocked with the outfits I was able to come up with from the pieces that I have collected over time. I feel that really goes to show that the whole throwback collections have been pretty trendy and relevant for quite a while now. 

Anyways, let’s get into the looks. 

I read somewhere when doing a bit of research for this post, that Guess jeans were huge back then along with stripes and the classic tattoo choker. Luckily I had these pieces in my closet. I finished off the look with my black hightop Converse with my frilly socks peeking out the top for an easy, casual look.

For the next look, I opted to layer a black peplum tank over my go-to white tee. This is the perfect way to layer throughout the warmer months and spice up a simple look! I then threw on these two toned jeans from Gap that are so spunky and of course my black mules (not sure which decade these were popular in, though!). I love this look; it’s playful and new, yet still has that 90s feel to it.

My overalls are probably my favorite clothing piece in my wardrobe and were actually a gift from my dad to my mom years and years ago so they are by far true 90s style. I popped a super big white sweater on underneath and felt that my white converse would be the perfect pairing. I also threw on my pair of oversized, clear aviators for that fake glasses look. This is hands down my favorite look and would totally wear this now.

For the final outfit, I wore a simple black mock neck tee. I would’ve gone for a turtle neck since I know they were big back then but I’m trying to make these looks more suitable for the spring time. Anyways, the black tee paired so well with my Birkenstocks. I then threw in some space buns and my diy patchwork denim to complete the look. This look was so fun for me to style!

Well, did you like these looks?! I really tried my hardest to make these looks 90s inspired while sticking to outfits that I would actually wear in my day-to-day life. Which look was your favorite + what is your favorite 90s trend (if you’re a 90s baby)?! Let me know in the comments below along with any other questions, comments, or requests you may have for me. Wishing you all a fab day as always. With love, McKenz.
