As the Y2K craze died down after the number 2000 safely appeared on clocks without a predicted doomsday scenario occurring, we thought that our tearful farewells to the 90s would be the last we’d see of the decade. But in the last few years, we’ve seen a sudden resurgence with the revival of tattoo chokers, and a renewed appreciation of VHS tapes and new jack swing. The resurgence of the 90s won’t be letting us down, as chokers, layered necklaces and denim on denim have been littering the runways.
To stay ahead of the curve, keep reading for the top 5 upcoming fashion trends you’ll soon see trickling into your nearest department store.
Fringe
As Texans, fringe is most commonly associated with western wear, but this upcoming season a revival of fringe in everyday clothing is making a comeback. A great way to wear this look is the Missguided black fringe dress paired with thigh high boots.
PVC Plastic Jackets
PVC jackets are following their PVC choker brethren, as the rise of this plastic jacket has trickled down from the runways and taken online stores by storm. Pairing this fire engine red plastic jacket from BKBT Concept with red boots and shades, instead of a typical raincoat and boats for the spring weather, would give you an interesting take to the utilitarian look.
Sequins
With the return of the 90s, other previous decades have been revived again, such as the 70s and the disco glam era. Along with sequin dresses and tops, a variety of glitter accessories from handbags to jewelry has slowly been infiltrating online stores. Pairing this purple sequin dress from Urban Outfitters with sheer stockings and heels would complete the look for this sparkly trend.
Plaid
Harkening back to Scotland, plaid has constantly been revived and retired in Western fashion for centuries. This year the revival of this Braveheart pattern will be revived again, with plaid pants and tops predicted to be a mainstay for the upcoming season. Pairing these plaid pants with a flowy blouse from Topshop would be perfect for spring graduates in the fall looking for fashionable looks for job interviews and first days of work.
80s and Denim
Along with the 90s, the 80s has also seen a resurgence in the limelight with the popularity of Netflix show “Stranger Things” and a renewed interest in denim on denim. Pairing this vintage 80s acid wash trench from Bushwillows Vintage with high-waisted jeans would give a nod to this trend from these coinciding eras.
