1990-2000

1990's fashion was more subtle and minimalistic than 1980's fashion, brought back the return of the more minimal style from the 50's and 70's. Women wore oversized T-shirts and sweatshirts, overalls, wind-pants, straight leg jeans and baggy jeans. in the US people dressing down lead to informality, comfort and athletic look, override business attire. Main trends of this decade were grunge, neon colours, bare midriff, two piece formal.

Towards the start of the decade continued the more obvious, in your face, style of the 1980's, the neon colours. This was a very different style to grunge as it was a feminine, brightly coloured tight fitting clothing style unlike grunge which is the contrast to that.

Grunge a new style started by youth culture; messy uncombed, not a lot of effort. Many teens adopted this trend and was associated with tattoos, body piercings and body modifications. Women and men both were introduced to the popular trend and was worn by most youths for the decade. Women's fashion garments for this style would be flannel shirts, ripped jeans, combat boots, band T-shirts, oversized knit jumpers, mom jeans, long and droopy skirts, ripped tights, Doc Martens, Birkenstocks, and hiking boots. All very casual attire steering away from smarter business dress. The grunge style was highlighted on the TV series 'My So Called Life'.
