Over the weekend, Jezebel posed the question: after flannel, Hammer pants, floral babydoll dresses, scrunchies, acid wash jeans, and catsuits, what will be the next 90s Fashion trend to make a comeback?
Taking inspiration from the comments on that Jezebel thread, here are some memorable 90s fashion trends that you will probably soon see at an American Apparel store near you!
I will put an (*) by the ones I woefully participated in, back in the day.
-Starter jackets*
-Mini-backpacks (Mine was black patent leather)
-slap bracelets*
-backpacks shaped like animals
-the Cher Horowitz schoolgirl look
-No Fear shirts*

-high-heeled flip flops
-Peace sign/ying yang/smiley face accessories*
-baggy JNCO jeans
-tiny tees
-lip liner without lipstick
-Army pants*
-tucking in your t-shirt in the front, but not the back*

Faintly Amused 
Flannel, overalls, and unwashed, Kool-Aid colored hair — no.
The “riot grrl” look (cargo pants, a tank top, and Doc Martens à la Gwen Stefani in the days when she was actually a cool, tough chick) — yes.
I would love for mini backpacks to come back as well. Those things were cute, and so dang handy too!
My mini-backpack was hilariously ugly. I mean who buys a black patent leather mini backpack? Oh yeah, a 12 year old.
But I agree, Gwen Stefani’s 90s look was pretty hot.
Fantastic! I was just going through old photos and found one from 1991 of me with my shirt tucked in the front and not the back. Such style!
I have a 90s web site with a lot of great 90s fashion moments re-lived: http://www.90s411.com/90s-fashion.html
Thanks for the great post!

thanks for sharing the list.
I actually had a Tommy Hilfiger mini backback. Good times
I had a bright blue “blowup” mini backpack… i think I got it in a show bag or something? i loved it… unitll i got a hole in it. not as cool when they are deflated.
The tuck in roll jeans, the ceaser hair do. and the fight for the biggest bangs.
This is a great article. It brings back a lot of memories.
