Fashion in the 1990s.

Fashion in the 1990s was predominantly loose fitting and colourful unless you preferred the punk look, in wish case colour was less desirable.

In the early nineties fashions worn by hip hop artists were becoming increasingly more mainstream. By the late 1990s hip hop was the most popular among the younger generation.

Starting the mid 1990s, industrial and military styles were creeping into fashion. People were finding any way to make a fashion accessory out of a piece of machinery. Camouflage pants were increasingly popular.

By the late nineties, rave culture began and people were looking for a more glamorous look again. People had decided that looking rich was cool again and brand designers were back in a big way.

Interestingly enough, late ninteen-nineties fashion is very similar to that of today. In the 1990s, musicians had more influence on what young people wore more than designers.
