Juice. SNICK. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. TGIF. Wayne's World. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Beavis and Butthead. Feeling nostalgic yet? We sure are. The '90s were a great time for pop culture and music, but the style wasn't as on-point—or was it? Lately, we've been looking back at a time that for many of us here at Complex, were our formative years, and we've rediscovered a lot of the trends we forgot about.
So throw on your most comfortable wide-leg pants, tie a hoodie around your waist, and flip that baseball cap backwards as we hit you with The 90 Greatest '90s Fashion Trends.

A few inaccurate listings: British Knights were the 80s Rocawear didnt even really exist until 2000 Roos were the 80's Solid tees under blazers was DEFINITELY the 80's Airwalks were the 80's LA Gear late 80's.......other than that the list was on point for the most part

Airwalks are SOOOOOOOOOOO 90s it's not even funny.

Everything on this list was on point! I was born in 83'. I have most of this shit in my closet and I still wear these things because I still wear the same size from ten plus years ago. I would have mentioned wild prints though because what would the early 90's have been without the wild printed shirts and pants of Dwayne Wayne, Will Smith etc?

Holy shit 40 out of 90. Couple things that were big that aren't on the list: B.U.M. Equipment, and Champion Hoodies and Sneakers.

Number 61 sums up American fashion completely. LOL!

Baggies... I was born in 82.... I had my first baggies around 1994... And to this days i still wear baggies... I work for a TV channel so its not really formal, so even to work I do... Honestly i cant get used to any other type of jeans... And Gap and a few other brands make good large jeans and u still can find some shop sellin Akademiks, Roca and other real baggies... So fuck being in style... I rather let my nut hangs like Willie D and feel good in my jeans... And this list is magnificent to say the least....90s were really the shit

I think a few of those were more from the 80's than they were the 90's i.e. roo's, biker shorts, terry cloth wrist bands
johnnyutah September 24th, 2011 at 10:25 PM
you're right, some of it was started way before the 90s but funny write up none the less
J Beck January 9th, 2012 at 12:13 PM
yea...a lot were the 80's and some 2000's...Iceberg was 1999 to 2001 RIP British Knights were the 80s, Rocawear didnt even really exist until 2000, Roos were the 80's, Solid tees under blazers was DEFINITELY the 80's, Airwalks were the 80's, LA Gear late 80's.......other than that the list was on point for the most part

True....Biker shorts were dead by 1990...they peaked in 1988...if you were in biking shorts in 89 you were getting laughed at!
GRBY September 23rd, 2011 at 03:27 PM
Great list - pretty damn on point! What about Raver styles (ie: Club Kid) fashion. That shit is hella 90's.
