Combat Trousers

The All Saints ladies made utility pants a bona fide trend. It basically meant we all walked around with our knickers hanging out.

     The girls from All Saints championed the low-slung look.

Satin Anything

Shiny satin dresses or maxi skirts (preferably cut on the bias) were the a-list go-to for red carpet glam. Drew Barrymore liked to accessorize hers with a crochet poncho. What a maverick.

    Scream queen Neve Campbell loved a bit of satin. And Drew. The words escape us.

Mesh Tops

Anything netted or see-through meant you had major wardrobe game back in the ‘90s. Making your own out of ratty old school tights was perfectly acceptable.

         Trust Mel C to work another key ’90s trend.

Knee High Boots

A platform heel was essential, and if you had a pair in white PVC you were the actual bomb.

          Patsy Palmer AKA Bianca from Eastenders. Girl had it going on.

Tiny Backpacks

Completely impractical yet totally uh-mazing. Your choice of Disney character/sports drawstring/pastel fluffy blob (that got a bit matted) pretty much defined your teenage identity for like, all time.

   Drew Barrymore once again is rocking our ’90s world.

Leopard Print Coats

From rock stars to ladettes, a leopard print coat gave you instant pub-landlady glam.

   Madonna had a moment in the ’90s. Wearing leopard print.

Knee High Socks

*sigh* Clueless was like our ‘90s movie style bible, and whatever Cher wore, we wore…even if it looked a bit ridiculous for shopping with your dad in Halfords.

Rave Gear

Gilets, asymmetric zips, cyber punk braids, parachute pants; yep, didn’t we all flirt a bit with the rave trend? Before realizing that the outlandishly large trousers just soaked up ALL the rain. And that we looked a bit of a div…

      Jacqui Blake & Zoë Ball: ready for a rave.

Square Sunglasses

Yeah. What was with this trend? The Appleton sisters were all over it.

  All   Saints loved some squared off sunglasses.
