A true fashionista knows better than to just throw out clothes that are no longer in season. After all, history has proven that certain styles come back with a vengeance. Those that sprung in the ‘90s are no exception. Sure, the decade may not be notable for being fashionable—quite the opposite, actually, as there are enough choices that we would rather not be caught dead in. And yet, celebrities and tastemakers alike are referring to them for a wardrobe refresh. It might have something to do with time and some hindsight, but some of them look even better and timelier than they did in the 1990s.

Colorful, whimsical glasses
Sunglasses or otherwise, you end up more fashionable when you have specs that show a little more character. This year is not afraid of colors. Want to balance out the sun’s rays with your blue lenses? No problem. How about making the party funkier with orange ones? We’re all for it. Shades and hues aren’t the only consideration because shapes pretty much affect how vogue you look. While hearts and stars may be too much, the round frames that are once considered nerdy are the new trendy.
Logos, logos everywhere
People are usually divided on the logo. Some are not too eager to flaunt the label, others don’t see the point of wearing designer clothing if they cannot show it off. Fortunately for the latter half, logomania is back. You don’t have to adorn your whole body with logos, a single piece printed completely with it is fine. If you want to take it further, though, approach with some caution; it does not take a lot to go overboard.

The classic blue denim jeans may have not gone out of style, but the same cannot be said for its sister, the denim jacket.

Take. Them. Out. Bonus points for you if you have them with patches.

Flannel shirt
The flannel shirt has stayed under the radar in the past years, but back in the ‘90s and early 2000s, people were gaga over them and it was not questionable to put one around the waist. They’re back once again, and the shirts aren’t confined as statement wraps; they work just as fine when layered or when functioning just like a regular shirt.
