Everything 1990s

In the 1990s, fashion rejected 80s excess for a mix of
gritty rebellion and sleek minimalism.
- Grunge (1990–1994) Led by Kurt Cobain and the Seattle music scene, fashion embraced a "careless" look with flannel shirts, ripped jeans, slip dresses, and thrift store finds.
- Pop Culture Glam (1994-1997) Think preppy plaid skirt suits from Clueless, the high-shine slip dresses of supermodels, and the glittery platform sneakers of the Spice Girls as the vibrant alternative to grunge.
- Tech Boom & Business Casual (1997–1999) Suits became a sharper uniform that prioritized comfort and practicality. The rise of Business Casual popularized chinos and polos for men alongside versatile pantsuits, sheath dresses, and luxury knitwear for women.
