The ’90s were undoubtedly a quirky era for fashion. My wardrobe primarily consisted of whimsical Betsey Johnson slip dresses, sturdy Doc Martens, and vintage ’70s tees I unearthed from thrift stores. However, there are certain styles I can assure you I never donned. Do you relate?
- Neon Sweatshirts: This bizarre leftover from the ’80s crept into the ’90s like an unwelcome guest, and I was not a fan.
- Distressed Overalls: Alright, I might have slipped into these at least once, but that was definitely under the influence of a few too many drinks.
- Plaid Miniskirts with Knee-High Socks: I adore you, Clueless, but this look screamed “naughty schoolgirl” a bit too loudly for my taste. I mean, I was a proud Jewish girl, thank you very much!
- Flannel Shirts: Sure, I listened to Nevermind on repeat and bought a few flannels, but I never had the courage to step outside wearing one. I’m not a lumberjack, after all!
- Nylon Tracksuits: I made a handful of questionable style choices throughout the decade, particularly in NYC clubs, but even I had the good sense to avoid this fashion faux pas.
- Bustier Under an Oversized Blazer: I probably skipped this look simply because my figure wouldn’t allow it. It’s actually not a bad style though!
- Chokers: Okay, I’ll admit—I rocked chokers with all my slip dresses, especially the velvet ones. I wouldn’t be shocked if I still have a few hidden away in my jewelry box, just waiting for a revival.
And yes, I confess: scrunchies were my guilty pleasure.

Even so, some trends like chokers were part of my wardrobe.
