The enduring pull of \u201990s fashion lies in its simplicity. While trends come and go, the decade\u2019s signature silhouettes have never really gone out of style. With Love Story<\/em><\/a> putting Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy<\/a> back into the spotlight, and a renewed fascination with the decade of the supers\u2014Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Cindy Crawford\u2014the pull of those years feels stronger than ever.<\/p>\n As a nineties baby whose gateway into fashion was TV and film\u2014like many of my peers, I grew up watching on Friends<\/em> and Sex and the City,<\/em> obsessing over the costumes in Pretty Woman<\/em> and The Talented Mr. Ripley.<\/em> It\u2019s the high-profile women of the time whose particular brand of effortlessness I\u2019ve always been drawn to, and still reference in my own wardrobe.<\/p>\n Among the great \u201990s staples that have retained their cultural capital today are the slip dress, the cigarette jean, and the pencil skirt. There\u2019s also, of course, the jersey dress<\/a> and top, and the itty bitty cami. And let\u2019s not forget about the strappy heeled mule. These were all mainstays in my closet then\u2014and now.<\/p>\n What makes these specific styles hold onto their currency is not just nostalgia, but function. Simple, elegant, and inherently versatile, the magic of \u201990s was its authentic expression of personal style. It preceded the algorithmic sameness that flattens taste today, teaching me that true style is knowing how to wear your clothes\u2014not have your clothes wear you. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the decade\u2019s defining pieces that still hold up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nHow to Get the \u201990s Look:<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
