What to wear to a 90s party?

The era of the 90s causes a nostalgic mood for many. It was a truly unique time, and those who were born or raised in it always remember it with fondness. That is why today many parties, buffets, corporate events are organized, the theme of which is the 90s. For those who remember a bygone era, it will not be difficult to choose the right wardrobe for such a celebration. Well, for those who have already forgotten the trends of past years a little, you can give some useful advice.

Clothing in the 90s embodied the spirit of rebellion and protest against despondency and dullness. This was due to the shortage of goods in the USSR, when people were forced to stand in queues for hours to buy clothes for themselves, which will definitely be like everyone else's. Therefore, when the Soviet Union collapsed, fashionistas received the so-called free will in terms of the choice of outfits. There are many new styles, types of clothing and footwear, accessories. The choice was huge, and for many the goal was shocking. The image was thought out to the smallest detail.

In the 90s, the style of clothing had many characteristics. First of all, we should mention the popular materials from which the clothes were made.

• Jeans... In those days, almost every person had denim clothes - this was considered an indicator of excellent taste. Anything could be denim: a skirt, shirt, trousers, jacket, overalls.

• Leather... Leather clothing was no less popular than denim. Jackets, leather jackets and mini-skirts were especially fashionable. Leather models were necessarily complemented by shiny elements: rivets, zippers.

• Jersey... T-shirts and T-shirts were most often sewn from such fabrics.They often had inscriptions or drawings: slogans, heroes of films and cartoons, images of popular musical performers.

As for other types of clothing, the following options were considered no less in demand:

• leggings (and quite often they were worn along with a mini-skirt);
• tight shirts, often with shoulder pads;
• voluminous sweaters with a variety of prints;
• long dresses shining with glitter.

It should be noted that in the 90s brilliance was welcomed. The outfits were supposed to be bright, flashy, saturated colors.

An invitation to a party from the 90s is an opportunity to plunge back into the past and experience the moments of youth, listening to your favorite music and being among the paraphernalia of the past. And therefore, the image should be thought out carefully so that it fully corresponds to the theme of the holiday.

The image of a girl or a woman at a theme party depends on the conditions in which the celebration is planned to be held. If this is a closed space, then there can be a lot of options. One of the most popular are denim jackets, which can be combined with different types of bottoms: a mini-skirt and leggings / tights, tight-fitting shiny trousers, jeans.

Mini skirts – the prerogative of slender girls. Their colors can be different, like the print. Quite popular are leather black skirts, shiny satin solutions, "Scottish" plaid models. If the skirts for some reason do not like or do not fit, then you can opt for a dress. Such outfits will look especially appropriate at costume parties in expensive restaurants.

Dresses that are suitable for a 90s-themed holiday can have a variety of cut options. Loose mini-models, gathered at the waist with a wide shiny belt, look very beautiful. An equally interesting choice will be products in the style of minimalism of the 90s. These are dresses of different lengths, monochromatic, most often black or white.

If the party takes place in nature or outdoors, then the best option would be street sports style... It involves oversized sweatshirts and tight leggings. There is another version of this style: a tight-fitting short T-shirt, a spacious sports jacket and sweatpants, tied at the ankles with elastic bands. Banana bags will be a great addition to this look.

Now let's look at a few topical and ready-made bows for ladies.

• Checkered shirt with jeans... Plaid shirts have become incredibly fashionable thanks to Kurt Cobain. The colors can be different, but bright options will be preferable. From shoes, you can pick up moccasins or sneakers.

• Bomber jacket with a mini skirt. A combination that is still popular today. Bombers are recommended to choose rich colors, skirts can be monochromatic. Leopard print is very popular. Open stiletto sandals should be worn on your feet.

• Biker jacket with a mini skirt. One of the best combinations to go with any party. In this case, it is better to choose a leather jacket with a shortened one, and a skirt with a high waist. With this way, boots and any wedge shoes look great.

• T-shirt with denim overalls. The T-shirt in this bow must be tight-fitting and with a print or pattern from the 90s, and the jumpsuit must be denim. From shoes, you can choose sneakers or wedge models.

• Dress with boots. Seemingly cute little babydoll dresses cannot be paired with rough and heavy boots. This is not so: even in modern fashion, brutality successfully coexists with tenderness, creating unique and very beautiful bows.

Men's fashion of the 90s was very similar to women's fashion: bright and saturated, sometimes incompatible colors were also present in it.... One of the most popular wardrobe items was the crimson jacket: it could be seen on the hosts of various programs on TV, and on the street, and even in a work environment. They supplemented it with anything: jeans, dress pants, sweatpants.

The second classic solution is Boys sweater. They also wore anything under it and combined it with any comfortable footwear. By the way, these sweaters were considered unisex style, so they were worn by both men and women. Inconvenient, hot and slightly prickly products were enjoyed by almost every guy and girl from the 90s.

Of course, at that time no self-respecting man could do without a tracksuit. Nowadays, such products are worn only for a trip to nature, and even then not always, but then it was a real squeak of fashion. The tracksuit is perfect for a 90s party and can be complemented with trainers, thick silver chains and bracelets.

A very popular idea - Leather Jacket. Like ladies, men often preferred leather. Jackets can be cropped or long, and they usually wear T-shirts with prints or popular actors / musicians, jeans and sneakers or boots under them. A broad shoulder line is a must.

In addition to these options, you can dress in the following types of outfits:

• dark T-shirt and wide leg jeans;
• classic suit with a two-piece jacket and wide trousers;
• pajama-style shirt, jacket and trousers;
• two jackets at once: leather and denim;
• checked pants and knitted sweater.

When thinking about an outfit for a 90s party, don't limit yourself to just clothes. It is equally important to do your makeup, hairstyle, and accessories correctly.

Makeup from the early and late 90s will look different. In the early 90s, very bright shadows, rich and not always black eyeliner, with which huge arrows were drawn, were welcomed. Eyelashes simply have to be long, doll-like, open. Lips should be painted with bright lipstick - red, burgundy, plum, deep pink tones will do. It is also important to highlight the cheekbones: blush should be applied to them.

At the end of the described era, brightness gradually began to fade into the background. Naturalness has become more welcome: pastel and nude tones, transparent lip gloss, gray shadows. It is up to you to determine which option to choose.

As for hairstyles, here you can choose several classic options that were popular among girls of those years.... For example, bouffant would be a win-win solution. It is made on one side, and then fixed well with varnish. To add impressions, the fleece can be slightly twisted with curlers. Another idea is the usual high ponytail. It should be made as high as possible, and tied with a colored and bright elastic band.

At a 90s themed party gold and silver are not welcome, the only exceptions are men's silver chains or gilding... It is better for girls to give preference to plastic. It can be anything: earrings, bracelets, clips. Accessories should be bright and eye-catching. Sunglasses will make a 100% sensation, and the weirder the frame, the better. No sophisticated options, just thick frames in the shape of hearts, ovals, stars, and preferably bright colors. Glasses must be made entirely of plastic.

It will be possible to effectively complement the hairstyle with the help of voluminous elastic bands.Erasers should be chosen in juicy, even acidic tones; beads, rhinestones, small and large pebbles can be sewn on them. The main thing is that the accessory is very noticeable. Another option for hairstyles is a headband. Both wide and narrow models look beautiful, and the latter can be decorated with both stones and voluminous products in the form of butterflies, hearts, flowers.

A must-have accessory at the party will be a bag. There are 2 solutions here: a large backpack with an abundance of key rings, badges, or a bulk bag, preferably lacquered, in a rich and flashy shade. A shawl in color can complement the bag: it is tied around the neck or on the head.

Finally, we will give some useful advice to those who are afraid that the image of the past years will look strange on them:

• if you are overweight, do not choose too baggy or tight things, stop at loose-fitting clothes, but not oversized;
• girls with voluminous hips it is better to choose jeans, not leggings, and those who have an "apple" figure should not open their belly;
• ladies who are not very tall, you can advise to wear shoes or sandals with stilettos, and to them - leggings and a T-shirt-dress;
• tall girls on the contrary, you should not wear heels: leggings with a contrasting mini-skirt, pumps, long jewelry such as beads will help to visually hide growth.

From clothes that were fashionable in the 90s, dozens, if not hundreds, of unique and beautiful looks can be created. Let's see what outfits are appropriate for themed parties dedicated to this era.

• Leggings and voluminous sports sweatshirts. Hairstyle - only "ponytail", jewelry, sunglasses are welcome.

• And again leggings, because they fit both a dress and a denim jacket. In this look, you cannot do without large and eye-catching accessories.

• Brightness and incongruous shades - "trick" of the 90s, which can be seen in this photo.

• Denim items are a win-win option for a celebration. The main thing is to complement them with accessories of rich colors.

• On men, both classic jackets with an elegant scarf and tracksuits look equally good.

• Headbands are an eye-catching accessory that fits perfectly into the style of the 90s.

• A cropped top, high-rise denim shorts and a chunky sweatshirt combine to create the perfect composition for the holiday.

• Men who put on a crimson jacket, a bright shirt and sunglasses, and even complemented their look with a purse, will never allow others to make a mistake in the theme of the celebration.
