Fashion:15 of the worst trends of the 90s

If you were born in the 90s, you probably remember the clothes you wore back then. But there are certain looks that we would rather forget about. A look back at 15 trends that marked an entire generation.

Fashion:15 of the worst trends of the 90s

The fashion of the 90s marked an entire generation. Almost 30 years later, many key pieces from this period are returning to the forefront. Just scroll through Instagram to realize it. High-waisted and flared jeans, Buffalo sneakers, tinted glass glasses, but also banana bags or crop-tops... So many trends that we'll all be proudly tackling in 2021. But if these pieces are the must have today, not everything is good to take in the looks of the 90s. Back to 15 fashion faux pas we committed in our youth.

90s trends for men to forget

If you grew up in the 90s, we are sure that you remember these trends, even that you even wore some of them. For example, if you are a man born before the 2000s, you must have wanted at some point to sport a full mustache, like the one Ross wears in the episode of Friends where he wants to take Rachel to prom. If you didn't yet have hair at that time, you probably wanted to compensate with a bandana, a chain or even a baggy that was much too wide to play it as a rapper like Eminem, Snoop Dogg or Jay-z.

Soccer fan? David Beckham was THE role model that all boys looked up to. And if the former Paris Saint-Germain player has changed his look and hairstyle a lot over the years, we don't forget that in the 90s he proudly wore the "wet effect" hair trend . A fashion that we would have preferred never to know.

90s trends for women to forget

On the women's side, fashion was not much more lenient. And it's notthese ladies' eyebrows who will say the opposite. Surely your mother must have told you to take those tweezers away from your face... But you didn't listen! As a result, they took years to grow back. Don't worry, Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, or even Angelina Jolie have also been there!

Level clothing, we can not say either that it was madness. Although you were super proud of your colorful leggings (you had them in pink, red, neon green...), we're not going to lie to each other, it wasn't the most flattering trend ever! But that's nothing compared to the string thong sticking out of your jeans that were way too low-waisted... Ah the 90s, unforgettable.
