At the end of the 20th century, many countries experienced political and economic crises. 1989 was marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall, and 1991 was the most significant event in world history - the collapse of the USSR.

Following political and social changes, fashion followed, which subtly felt the changes taking place, demonstrating them in clothes, makeup and shoes.

By the end of the 20th century, fashion had become a huge industry that already had the ability to influence people's minds through the media - television and the Internet.

The fashion of the 90s is characterized by a fascination with brands. This led to the realization that through clothes and accessories one can convey to society information about one's inner world.

The peculiarity of the fashion era

At the same time, image makers, people who select clothes and create an image not only for the famous and rich, but also for middle-class consumers, are beginning to be in demand. The pages of glossy magazines are full of advice on how to choose an individual style in clothes to look unique.

The clothes of the girl of the nineties consisted of things that are typical for street fashion:

• Jeans;
• T-shirts that do not pretend to be elegant;
• Sufficiently wide trousers;
• Bulky sweaters;
• Sneakers;
• Shoes with very low heels or flats.

Street style clothing was produced by both well-known brands and the mass industry. At the same time, the comfort of such things was combined with bright colors and special theatricality.

Examples of images on display:

A distinctive feature of that time was the shift in emphasis from clothing to appearance. To create an image, some things were not enough: the presence or absence of a tan, the obligatory harmony and sportiness of the figure were taken into account. In addition to the huge number of gyms, the number of which was constantly replenished, cosmetology rooms, as well as aesthetic and plastic surgery, are in great demand. Images of well-groomed and sporty models have become a role model.

The beauty of the female body

A landmark event of the nineties was the increased attention to the female body. Women's fashion dictated new conditions, where, along with clothing, fashion trends were represented by the body.

Piercing, tattoos and makeup have become an integral part of the fashionable image. Moreover, this direction has found admirers among men.

The line between the style of clothing and the artistic delights of fine art is gradually blurring: artists use the female body as canvases.

For example, Alexander McQueen created clothes from compressed leather, which conveyed the contours of the female figure as accurately as possible.

And Jean-Paul Gaultier used materials so elastic that, looking at the models, it seemed that they had a second skin. In the 1996 collection, the designer presented a dress made of blue nylon mesh. It was filled with moire patterns and completely followed the contours of the female figure.

Russian reality

Speaking about the fashion of the nineties, it is necessary to pay special attention to Russia. At this time, the country was going through both political and economic crisis. After the collapse of the USSR, difficult times began in the country, which were expressed in beggarly salaries and rampant crime. Of course, this situation was reflected in the clothes of ordinary citizens. The street fashion of that time was striking in its absurdity and strangeness. Consider the most popular things of that time in Russia.

• Multi-colored tights and leggings. Almost every girl had these wardrobe items. They were worn everywhere: at work, discos and even at school. The abundance of bright acid shades was amazing. The popularity of these things was given by pop stars who used them as stage costumes.
• "Malvins". These jeans had two varieties: they could be blue or black. Such a minimum choice ensured total demand, both among men and women.
• Boys. These sweaters are also the hallmark of that time. At the same time, they were especially popular with girls for some reason. Despite the fact that there was another variety of this thing - sweaters with patterns, the inscription was considered a sign of special chic.
• Jackets. Like most of the goods, they were imported to Russia from Turkey. At the same time, fashionistas did not care about the style of the product: the jacket could be made of pieces of leather or even resemble a leather jacket. The presence of this thing in the girl's wardrobe already made her fashionable.
• Tracksuits. These were special things that required close consideration. Not only did they have a very strange design: elastic bands at the ends of trousers and jackets, which were necessarily accompanied by a small zipper, as well as flared sleeves. They also had an incredibly wild combination of colors, and the iridescent fabric made these things really “exclusive”. Moreover, they necessarily had the inscriptions "ADIDAS" or "PUMA". And they were worn with leather jackets and shoes.

This short digression into the Russian reality of the nineties allows us to conclude that the taste preferences of that time were at least strange.

World Trends

Unlike Russian trends, world fashion can be characterized as socially and territorially expressed. At the same time, its common feature should be considered restrained elegance.

Two firms from Milan, which are fashion favorites today, are gaining more and more popularity: Prada and Gucci. Their models, made in black and white, with a simple cut, but a masterly cut, became a real icon of the style of the nineties.

American fashion of these years is represented by Tommy Hilfiger and his sporty style. The grunge style was not inferior in popularity.

If sports style was in special demand among South African young people, then grunge gained popularity with the light hand of Kurt Cobain. His carelessness in clothes that promoted the “anti-fashion” style won the hearts of millions of fans of his work and remains in demand today.

Easily recognizable street style was also on the wave of popularity. Ripped jeans, oversized T-shirts and oversized sweaters - all these things were in the wardrobe of every girl.

The growing movement to protect nature has introduced products made of faux fur and leather into everyday use. True, it is worth noting that the fashion for these things did not last long.

Addition to clothing

Given that sportswear was at the peak of popularity, sneakers, sneakers and light moccasins were worn with almost any outfit. Also in demand were shoes with a high platform, which were worn under leggings or short skirts, and shoes with high and thick heels.

High boots, decorated with fur, and shoes with complex lacing were worn in the cold season.

And in the summer months, they began to actively use “soap dishes” of various colors, which were popular with both women and men. Moreover, they were worn not only on the beach, but also during city walks.

As for accessories, they were mandatory attributes of any clothing. The bags were voluminous, reminiscent of bags. Young people preferred leather or fabric backpacks. At the same time, the same bags were used everywhere.

All decorations must be very large. This rule applied not only to bracelets and beads, but also to earrings. Such jewelry was made of plastic or metal, and wooden products were also fashionable. Teenagers used hoops and large elastic bands in bright colors. The photo of those years shows how many of these numerous decorations were used.

As for precious metals, gold was especially popular, jewelry from which also differed in massiveness and volume.

Hair and makeup

Hairstyles in the nineties is a separate topic for conversation. The main attribute of any hairstyle was a big bouffant. Such styling with voluminous bangs filled with varnishes was used both for going to work and for fashion parties.

Perm is another fashionable attribute of that time. It was done on the hair of any length of a woman of all ages.

The peak of the fashionable image was bleached hair, which was mercilessly dyed, achieving a bright white color.

Young people used a high ponytail, in which they tied their hair at the back of the head or on the side of the head. They fastened it with bright wide rubber bands.

As for make-up, here the fashion of the nineties also showed itself very clearly. The trend was arrows and bright shadows of a wide variety of colors. It was customary to paint eyelashes very thickly, and colored mascara was often used. Fashionistas drew themselves not only arrows, but also moles.

The lips were also painted very brightly, using a pencil-stroke, the contours of which were fashionable to apply a little more than the lips themselves. In this case, the use of even purple was quite allowed.

But already in the late 90s, catchy and bright makeup was replaced by "smoky" Smoky Eyes. It was used even during the daytime. Lips began to be painted in pale pink colors or left completely unpainted.

Today, the fashion of the expressive 90s of the last century is in trend. There were many styles in clothes and people were lost in the choice. Therefore, today you can’t use the 90s the way they sounded then. It is necessary to interpret past fashionable things today in a more adapted form, so as not to be branded as "greetings from the past." So, what is the style of the 90s in the clothes of a woman? We will show photos, examples of images and interesting options for outfits in this article.

What influenced fashion in the 90s?

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, a woman's wardrobe became more diverse. Compared to the 80s, the next decade was marked by less flashy things and more sophistication. The new hobbies of the youth of that period influenced the style of clothing - techno and grunge music. The first direction is:

• discos,
• bright comfortable clothes,
• frivolity in images.

Grunge is:

• hard music,
• the opposite of glamour,
• denial of all feminine,
• combination of the incompatible.

Sport and comfort in the clothes of the 90s were everywhere. This led to the sport-chic style trend, which captured street fashion largely thanks to the example of foreign stars.

In the 90s, youth series appeared on TV screens, where the characters loved sports and dressed in a similar style. These are the series Manta Barbara, Beverly Hills 90210, Friends, Melrose Place, Helen and the Boys. Musical idols of that time also promoted the sporty style of dressing. The girls from the Spice Girls group, singers Gwen Stefani, Madonna and other famous personalities were dynamically behaving on stage and were comfortably dressed.

The direction of unisex largely determined the feminist mood of women. They began to wear clothes several sizes larger with rough tailoring. Everything was wide and shapeless. In the military style, rough boots and colors in clothes appeared. Practicality and convenience - this was the style of the 90s in women's clothing. Photos of examples from that time:

Some preferred minimalism and dressed in laconic dresses and suits. It was in such clothes that super-models on the catwalks flaunted in the early 90s.

Outerwear

Shapeless down jackets and faux fur coats were popular. They also did not have a hint of a waist and most often were either short or reached to the very heels.

With broad shoulders, sports bolognese jackets, raincoats, coats were chosen by the post-Soviet people. These were big things. They went in elongated, crinkled jackets made of loose-fitting raincoat fabric.

Young people preferred jackets made of ordinary or patent leather with metal rivets, sports windbreakers with bright stripes. Older people wore drape coats, artificial sheepskin coats.

The wealthy part of the population flaunted in fur coats made of natural fur: rabbit, fox, wolf, mink. Some preferred warm natural sheepskin coats.

Hats at that time were the most fashionable fur. The greatest value in the outfit was worn by a large fluffy hat made of natural fur. It was she who could “tell” about how wealthy her owner (or owner) is.

business image

Elegance was still present in some things, although their combinations were sometimes unthinkable. Almost every business lady in the 90s had a trouser suit in her wardrobe. Then the shoulders of the jackets were somewhat more accentuated than they are now. Fitted models with turn-down collars have already appeared. They were with large buttons and sometimes decorated with peplum.

All women in the 90s wore iridescent oversized tights that shone in the sun. They were constantly slipping and wrinkling. Some brave ladies chose mesh or patterned studs.

Women wore a pencil skirt or a miniskirt depending on their age. Of the shoes, the business woman had pumps.

The trend of the decade is angora sweaters, which were worn by everyone. They were bright colors with guipure inserts, embroidered with beads.

Colored turtlenecks made of warm fabrics and not so much were in fashion. Practiced and quite transparent. Velor products generally had no equal. For example, a long, fitted dress made of cheap velvet with a slit on the side of the thigh was a fairly popular model at that time.

Blouses were worn with broad shoulders: loose and fitted. There was a noticeable variety in the fabrics: chiffon, silk, synthetic satin. Plain shirts of a male style, body shirts with various prints were considered the top of fashion in the style of the 90s in women's clothes. A photo:

Skirts

Denim skirts were considered relevant. They were straight, flared, with frills, with wedges and metal buttons in front, frayed at the bottom, long in the form of a trapezoid with a clasp. Colors were used different: from blue to dark blue. There was colored jeans, from which very fashionable skirts were sewn.

Jeans and trousers were worn flared. The expansion could come from the knee or from the hip. The leg length was super maxi, covering the shoes. Tight stretch trousers with all sorts of prints were very fond of wearing by young people.

It is impossible not to talk about denim shorts just above the knees with cuffs and straps. They were combined with a denim jacket with rolled up sleeves or a white chiffon blouse.

Dresses

Elongated jersey T-shirts with images of the stars of the time and Mickey Mouse were called dresses. Bright styles were the priority.

Evening tight dresses and openwork combinations have become popular. They beautifully emphasized all the curves of the figure. Elegant dresses-barrels with a belt were bought by women of fashion. Multi-tiered products with flared frills made of shiny lurex were practiced.

Denim sundresses have become fashionable. They could be combined with batch shirts and turtlenecks.

Chiffon summer dresses were worn by women in the heat. They are decorated with floral print. The market was full of sundresses for every taste.

Dresses met with prints. In addition to stripes and cages, the animal pattern of a zebra, leopard, tiger in the style of the 90s in women's clothes was relevant. A photo:

And one more "representative" of that time: the Romanian sweater!

In those days, women brightly painted their eyes with shades of blue, green, blue colors, They made black eyeliner.

Lips were highlighted with a pencil, often a color different from lipstick. Bright red, mother-of-pearl, brown (and all shades) and dark lipstick colors were in fashion.

Large bouffants on the head were made by fashionistas of that time. Highly raised bangs on one side, fixed with hairspray - a fashion trend of the early 90s. A ponytail on top, on the side, or an attached chignon - this also distinguished the 90s.

The series "Beverly Hills 90210", for example, became one of the cult, most fashionistas wanted to wear the same haircut as Idan Capwell, Valerie Malone, Brenda Walsh or Kelly Taylor.

Men's fashion

The stronger sex in the post-Soviet era began to massively dress in Adidas tracksuits. They were for all occasions. The image included baseball caps with the inscriptions "USA", "Adidas".

In the wardrobe of respectable men appeared broad-shouldered jackets oversized in all sorts of shades. The most significant was the crimson jacket, which gave the status of "new Russian" in the style of the 90s in clothing.

Men walked around in T-shirts, plain and mesh sleeveless T-shirts, checkered and patterned shirts, patterned sweaters, denim jackets, voluminous down jackets, leather jackets with fur collars. From the trousers were wide jeans with patch pockets; trousers of red, sand marsh colors; black trousers with arrows. Shoes were full of sneakers, patent leather shoes, massive boots with a round toe. The attribute of the appearance of a man in the 90s was a leather purse.

A girl comes out of the subway towards me - a white T-shirt, high-waisted jeans, a bun on her head, trendy triangle glasses and powerful boots with corrugated soles. She has a plaid shirt draped over her shoulders, clearly masculine. Modernity? Is very similar. But no - these are clothes in the style of the 90s from my memories.

Therefore, the heroes of the series became icons of style in clothes and not only. "Friends", "The X-Files", "Wild Angel". People ticked the boxes in the TV program, set alarms so as not to miss the cherished time of the series. My classmate did not stay for an extension, just to catch the "Wild Angel" with Natalia Oreiro.

I wasn't thin like a grasshopper, but I did breakdance and wore crop tops and trumpet pants. It was fashionable in our company. We were divided by our appearance and created our own interest groups - it was easy to identify us by our appearance.

See in the video the style of the 90s in clothes

What styles of clothing were in the 90s?

grunge

It was introduced into fashion by Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. They opposed neat fashion by ostentatiously dressing sloppily, layered, dimensionless. Overgrown hair, plaid shirts and trousers, vests, men's T-shirts - this is sweet to the heart and now for those who are close to clothes in the style of 90. Grunge came into fashion as an image of strength, originality and free-thinking.

Minimalism

In contrast to the active and somewhat untidy grunge style, minimalism is gaining ground. Its adherent is Jennifer Aniston in the series “Friends” Initially, the minimalist style has references to the culture of Japan, to the monochrome simplicity of their national clothes. Sundresses were worn directly on the jacket, on the turtleneck, as it is now. Minimalism generally lends itself little to change. And I think that the future belongs to him, he is eternal.

And yet, especially in Russia, various musical trends are becoming very popular - rave, neon, rap, break dance, drum and bass - discos are thundering every day, and the task for them is to stand out. Not so - STAND OUT! Among all the bright, neon, naked - to become noticeable. And this, I must say, is not easy. Everything is used - except for shiny, multi-colored clothes with chains, slits, short tops and mini skirts, fashionistas of that time begin to modify their own bodies - piercings, bright hair colors, tattoos, colored lenses and wild extended and glued nails are used.

Rave and neon

Neon and rave are everything that glitters, shimmers and looks like fish scales. Gouge out colors and mesh clothing. Short to zero haircuts, often dyed in acid colors. He is popular among ravers. Remember - Hao mach in the fish?

Rock

Rock is also very popular, but in a more "intellectual" environment. At that moment it was foreign and St. Petersburg rock. Its main manifestations are long hair and an abundance of metal jewelry. And black jeans. You can wear a metal belt with studs. You can even have two, and add leather bracers. He also often goes into gothic and metal (METAAAAALL!!!) - with black make-up and bleached skin. It will become more popular in the 2000s when the Aria group enters the scene.

sport chic

Sport-chic style became popular. He went from the group "spise girls" and the series "Charmed" about witches and "Beverly Hills 210". The style-forming elements of sports chic were cropped sweaters and tops, leggings and sneakers on a high platform. They wore dresses and skirts over them. I still do that sometimes. Comfortable.

Eco style

Eco-style is, first of all, natural fabrics, free silhouettes, convenience and respect for human health. Clothing is made from breathable materials and does not restrict movement. As well as bags, fur coats and leatherette jackets.

Fashionable images of 2019 in the style of the 90s

As you can see, there are many intersections with modernity, with our 2019. Consider fashionable bows in the style of the nineties of the last century, which are very relevant now.

Youth

Be sure to use high waist jeans, especially cropped ones. Especially in combination with laconic white t-shirts in a masculine style. Or with sweatshirts .. And a “male” jacket, you can with a belt, you can without it. But now the ankles will not freeze - in fashion colored socks!

Just as triumphantly return overalls, especially bright colors, coquettishly taken from one shoulder. But again, rolled up. They can be combined with a simple white T-shirt just like in the 90s.

Considering clothes in the style of 90, do not forget about the playful

For middle age

Clothing in the style of 90 for older people practically repeats all of the above trends. The same forms are in fashion. But they are modified to fit a more businesslike, working person.

Business looks with a touch of the 90s

Business suits are in trend, especially jackets similar to the X-Files Scully jacket - masculine cut, straight, it can be worn with a belt. Wide cropped trousers at the waist. They even somewhat resemble the skirt-trousers popular in the 90s.

But this is about business style, but how to dilute it for everyday life? It's simple - you just need to wear jeans or elongated shorts and "heavy" sneakers with a massive platform. Or a midi skirt, it can also be beaten with the right shoes, for example, “Cossacks”. And the style for going to the cinema with friends is ready.

Evening dresses ala 90s

To go out, if you need to follow the style of the 90s, you can use the lingerie style, so beloved by Jennifer Aniston from friends. Dress - nightgown is our favourite. You can also dilute it with a leather jacket draped over your shoulders. Overalls are still in fashion, which can be easily worn in the evening. Do not forget about super-trade lurex and sequins - we boldly wear everything that is left from the New Year))

star images

If you look at the stellar images of 2019, it may seem that the 90s have not gone anywhere. Probably the point is the brightness and theatricality of the fashion of that time. All the same metallic, bare stomach and masculine cut of jackets. Moreover, you can play with the images of the 90s, creating an image that is too sexy, theatrical and individual. This is what public figures use to make their image stick in memory.

And this is already too much!

What is not returning from the 90s to our days? What should not be worn in any case, what cannot be reshaped to fit the present?

• Fur hats. We all will surely remember our mothers and grandmothers, who came to the parent meeting at school and remained in a fur hat - maybe they had a “nest” hairstyle on their heads? don't know. But it's terrible. It is better to replace with a scarf, a baseball cap, a massive rim, but definitely not a fur hat.
  
  
• "Total denim", when a jacket, skirt, jeans and a denim bag - and all this is complemented by denim boots and a baseball cap. It is not necessary so - neither for men, nor for women.
• Excessive emancipation, the style of moths in 2019 is unacceptable. If in the 90s it was normal, almost every girl went to a disco like this and returned from there alive and unharmed (miraculously, or something), now the combination of mini, neckline and heels is already in bad taste.

So, here it is - clothes in the style of the 90s. This time is remembered by turbulent youth, conquering the dance floors, the Arbat, shorts and walking through the streets with a tape recorder. What did you have? Was there a Tamagotchi? Have you cried over a dead electronic pet? Did they clean up after him? Have you been drinking zooko? Or poured into the mouth and eaten dry? Did they smoke at school behind the garages? Did you play dandy? Does the name "Mario" mean anything to you? Have you watched the series? How old were you in the 90s?

An interesting time, a time of reshuffling in society, in thinking, in the minds. Opening horizons of freedom. New music, new rhythm of life. I'm glad I remember that time. And you?

The 1990s remain for many an era of opening up prospects and reckless youth. We invite you to remember with us the quirky style of the 90s in women's clothing and try to try on some images in today's life.

Those who found this era in their youth recall with nostalgia the bizarre style of dressing, music and films of the 90s, at the same time, they are unlikely to want to try on the past era, with its inherent limitations in the choice of clothes, life opportunities, and prospects. However, in recent years, clothing in the style of the 90s has been gaining popularity among today's teenagers, half of whom were born well after this momentous era of change.
Girls from the 90s dressed in club style

The 90s were bright and varied. This is the time of androgenic business suits for women, minimalism in styles, opposed to the glamor of grunge. And at the same time, the times of a brilliant and caustic rave (bright provocative disco clothes of synthpunk, techno, electronics and eurodance), a touch of ethnic style (echoes of a hippie direction).

Flashy '90s-era clothing worn by iconic supermodels of the era

How was the style of the 90s formed?

The style of the 90s was formed on the basis of the 80s and gradually became less catchy and sophisticated. In Europe and America, these changes took place faster than in our country. What we think of as fashionable 90s clothing was popular in the west in the mid 80s.

Icons of 90s style in pop culture

What was becoming obsolete abroad, in the CIS only gained popularity towards the end of the 90s. Of great importance for the development of style were directions in music - grunge and techno. Many designers flourished during this time - Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood, Paul Gaultier, Tom Ford and Calvin Klein.

Reflection of the style of the nineties in denim fashion

Business style for women: jackets with broad shoulders, a wide collar and massive fittings, and necessarily shoulder pads, a pencil skirt with and without a peplum, miniskirts, high-waisted trousers (high-waisted was in fashion for both trousers and skirts).

Accessories a la 90s

A recognizable accessory from the 90s - sunglasses with round lenses

At this time, they liked to use hair bands instead of a hoop. Collars, large hoop earrings made of metal and bright plastic, wide bracelets made of the same materials, clip-on earrings, braided bracelets, leather or sports wristbands were worn as jewelry.

At this time, there were popular round sunglasses, like Matilda from Leon.
Shoes in the 90s were worn on a wide platform, ranging from sandals to sneakers. They adored the tractor sole, especially lace-up shoes and boots with a stable wide heel. Fans at this time from grinders (Grinders brand boots) and martins (Dr. Martens boots). In summer, sandals with wide elastic bands were worn under leggings. Ordinary black and white sneakers (probably thanks to Kurt) and branded sneakers were also popular.

A selection of images in clothes from the nineties

Agree, leggings that fit thick legs or a cutout on the stomach, through which everything eaten falls out - this is a terrible sight.
