Fashion, as we've learned time and time again, is cyclical. Should you be feeling nostalgic for '90s-era fashion, you're definitely not alone. Now more than ever, we're seeing a resurgence of the polarizing '90s style trends we loved so much — including but not limited to "ugly" dad sneakers and Cher Horowitz-inspired plaid. If you can dig it, swipe through for nine brands that are guaranteed to rack up the #TBT vibes.
UNIF: Two words: grunge revival. UNIF's rebellious spirit and edgy aesthetic will have you crossing over to the dark side in no time. Brit + Co Pick: UNIF Winx Pant ($98): Hell to the YES. Where have these yellow plaid high-waisted bottoms been all our life?
Roxanne Assoulin: Roxanne Assoulin's Insta-famous line of rainbow-bright tiled jewelry and technicolor Swarovski crystal earrings will fo' sure transport you back to your summer camp days. Brit + Co Pick: Roxanne Assoulin Camp Bracelets ($45-$585): Update your arm candy with a stack of these friendship-inspired bracelets. Wear 'em all or divvy 'em up among your ride-or-die tribe.
Sandy Liang: Inspired by the clashing and unapologetic style of Chinatown grandmas (including her very own Paw Paw), Sandy Liang's street-inspired threads — everything from a cropped Range Rover sweater to teddy fleece — deserve the Huji Cam treatment. Brit + Co Pick: Sandy Liang Jojo Shorts in Snow Leopard ($175): Give these snow leopard-print bike shorts (made from Japanese jersey, no less) a spin around the block with an oversized pullover and Reebok trainers in tow.
by Far: Founders Valentina and Sabina share not only an affection for the '90s (hello, square-toe sandals and mini bags galore), but also a focus on modernity. Brit + Co Pick: by Far Rachel Nutella Croco Embossed Leather Bag ($363): The coveted baguette bag is back, betches. Inspired by Jennifer Aniston's character on Friends, the "Rachel" bag should accompany you on your next bar crawl.
Lazy Oaf: Keeping it weird since 2001, this playful London-based streetwear brand is chock-full of '90s-esque staples — be it a pink tartan kilt or a rainbow jumper. The founder, Gemma Shiel, cites teenage rebellion and a rejection of the norm as the inspiration behind her quirky designs. Brit + Co Pick: G.E.M. Screw You Oversized Coat ($244): Bring forth a DGAF 'tude with a topper that means business. The embroidered "screw you" detail on the inside collar speaks for itself.
Orseund Iris: It's 'bout time you updated your going-out lewk with Orseund Iris' line of season-less separates. You'll find everything from a sexy open-back champagne-colored slip to a Matrix-worthy trench.
Brit + Co Pick: Orseund Iris Silk Set Black ($350): Channel your inner Sasha Fierce with an after-hours approved silk noir blouse (matching choker to go with) and mom jeans.
Réalisation Par: It's not the first time — and it certainly won't be the last — that you hear about this It girl-approved Aussie brand that's taken Instagram by storm. Pick your pièce de résistance of choice (a '90s style cocktail dress! A throw-on-and-go slip!) for a maximum polish, minimal effort lewk. Brit + Co Pick: Réalisation Par The Naomi Wild Things ($180): This silk leopard skirt encapsulates everything that we loved about the era — it's effortless, sexy, and cool without trying too hard. It even pairs well with an iconic Dior saddlebag.
Stylenanda: Make room, ASOS. This Seoul-based fast-fashion brand is brimming with all of your beloved throwback faves — the styling's not too shabby either. Brit + Co Pick: Stylenanda Color Block Teddy Jacket ($105): We low-key want this huggable tri-fleece pullover in every colorway.
Staud: It's Staud's "nostalgia for old school elegance" that keeps us coming back season after season. Should you get invited to a '90s-themed bash, one of the brand's diva-approved faux fur coats or vintage-inspired cocktail dresses is sure to fit the bill. Brit + Co Pick: Staud Lot 61 Dress Rainbow Dot ($195): This rainbow dot tulle-trimmed number is ready to boogie down on the dance floor.
