Oh, the ’90s. It’s no secret that we’re pretty obsessed with that grungy, boy-bandy, utterly fabulous decade, so why should we leave Halloween out? And from TV show throwbacks to movie homages to an ode to the school supply everyone coveted, we’ve got a ’90s costume look for every taste. Read on for our faves!
