7 Fashion Items I Absolutely Did Not Wear in the 1990s

The 1990s presented an eclectic mix of fashion that often left many scratching their heads. My personal wardrobe was primarily filled with a collection of chic slip dresses, sturdy Doc Martens, and vintage t-shirts reminiscent of the 1970s. However, there are certain trends that I can confidently state I never embraced. Perhaps you can relate.

1. Fluorescent Sweatshirts: This peculiar remnant from the 1980s bizarrely lingered into the next decade, much like an unnecessary accessory that just wouldn’t go away.
2. Worn-Out Overalls: Alright, I might have donned these once or twice, but I was definitely under the influence at the time.
3. Plaid Mini Skirts Paired with Knee-High Socks: While I appreciate the homage to Clueless, this particular style screamed “naughty schoolgirl” in a way that felt uncomfortable for me, given my own proud heritage.
4. Flannel Shirts: Despite spinning Nevermind on repeat during 1991 and 1992, I bought several flannel shirts but couldn’t muster the courage to wear them outside. I just didn’t feel like a lumberjack.
5. Nylon Tracksuits: Even though I made a few dubious fashion choices while hitting the NYC club scene, I had the sense not to be seen in such an eyesore.
6. Bustier with an Oversized Blazer: I may have avoided this look mainly due to my ample bust, but it’s not entirely unappealing.
7. Chokers: Admittedly, I did sport chokers alongside my slip dresses—particularly in velvet. I wouldn’t be surprised if I still had a few lurking in my jewelry box, waiting for a revival.

Also, I confess: scrunchies were my guilty pleasure back then.
