The 90’s might be a thing in the past but music, fashion, and accessories are making a bold revival. Baggy jeans, band tees, and mullets have taken over the modern world by storm. According to Fashionnovation, social media has taken a large influence on what we wear as a society. Seeing your favorite TikToker rock a flowy mullet might change the way you cut your hair the next time you visit your barber. Do you like big sunglasses, classic shoes, or band tees? Lucky for you, the 90’s are here to stay.
According to Colliers, the reason why these trends are back in style is because of nostalgia. Commonly known brands like Nike even brought back old logos to market for the excitement of the new trend. More than just the looks, the sense of comfortability makes the clothing worth it as well. From vintage college crewnecks to baggy pants it makes for a nice relaxing outfit. Affordability is another big reason for the revival. You can easily go down to the local thrift store and find plenty of vintage clothing for less than 15 dollars.
Will Brooks, a mullet advocate, is a big fan of the trend. Brooks saw the popular trend all over social media. His dad also told him to give the new haircut a try. Ever since he tried the mullet, there was no looking back. Brooks has had the haircut for a couple of years now and has no thoughts on changing things up. When Brooks was asked about how long he will have the cut, he stated that there was many more years to come because he likes the way it looks.
Ethan Henry is one of the names that come to mind when you think about throwback trends. You can see him wearing some baggy jeans and a band tee in the Woodland hallways. There’s many different reasons why someone might wear this type of clothing. For Henry, it’s the expression.
“I like it because it’s very expressive. You can have different types of outfits that you can create and I think it represents me. I think a lot of people can agree with that,” said Henry.
There was a wide variety of ways people can get the influence to dress like this. Henry’s dad is the main reason he dresses like this. His inspiration may come in different ways than you might think.
“My dad was a big skater and it definitely inspired why I chose to dress like this.”
There are common brands Henry will typically shop for. Some of these brands include DC, and Belim Jeans, which he likes because they have wide bottoms which give a 70’s type feel. He agrees that this generation is bringing back this sort of look.
According to Henry, thrifting is a very cheap and popular way to get these kinds of clothes. For anyone who is willing to try the new trend there’s no need to worry about cost and places to get some vintage clothes. His advice is to look in thrift stores, Aeropostale, and Pacsun.
At the end of the day, the resurgence of the 90’s trends are more than just the trend. Students are able to easily afford these clothes and are able to express themselves however they please. The influences from parents, social media, and your own self expression will cause this trend to definitely stay here.
