For those who lived in the 90s (like myself), we can’t seem to get it out of our heads because the “too cool to care” look is forever a major mood. Forever longing to revisit the shows, songs, and especially the fashion trends, the nostalgia core trend is specifically for those that live in the 90s indefinitely but want to spice up the fashion from the era with a modern-day twist.
Key Influences
For the more grunge side of this look, influence comes from idols of the decade like Nirvana and Sublime. For a more celebrity-inspired take on the decade, think about the fashion of the It Girls like Jenifer Anniston, Britney Spears, and Hilary Duff. Beyond the fashion from this time, the aesthetic includes hairstyles and accessories too. So live your 90s fashion dreams, but don’t forget the micro braids complete with butterfly clips and the colorful belts and bags to top the looks off.
