Happy Monday: Resurging ’90s Trends You Can Cherish All Over Again.
While the revival of ’90s fashion will be an undeniable result of the designer collections for spring 2009, I can already observe the change in trends on the street. But instead of dreading the return of the ’90s, I have decided to embrace it with this list of trends that could use another go.
THE BABYDOLL DRESS
Who says this look has to be kinder-whore? Just stay away from Hot Topic when shopping for tights and lay off the eyeliner and the babydoll dress can be a very fresh and simple look. Popularized by rock goddess Courtney Love, the best quality of the babydoll dress is that it can look darling or tarty depending upon how you choose to style it. Now, who doesn’t appreciate versatility?
MUST-SEE … AGAIN! EMPIRE RECORDS
The first time I saw Empire Records, I swore that I would one day find a place of employment just as magical. And aside from the influx of generic weirdos on South Street and having to call the police due to a flasher in the vintage housewares section, I think my store comes pretty darn close.
Believe it or not, it’s already happening and you probably love it! Flannels have been a staple in city bars and indie rock shows for a while now. Remember Kurt Cobain’s shabby cardigan from Nirvana’s Unplugged performance on MTV? I’ve been noticing thrift store cardigans on girls and guys. They’re best worn slightly oversized over a fitted tee or top. My personal favorite: vintage lacoste cardigan.
Although this list is short, there will be more to come as ‘09 translations of ‘90 are popping up every day.
