16 '90s Closet Staples We're Obsessed With Right Now

We love Hannah Baxter's combination of a polo tee, a denim miniskirt, platform sandals, and a beaded bag. The pops of bright green make it super playful.

What's more '90s than a good ol' tube tube? Whether in a bright color or neutral tone, we love this look with high-waisted bottoms like skirts, pants, and shorts. For more polish, try layering one under a blazer.

Perhaps the most ubiquitous piece to come out of the '90s, slip dresses are incredibly versatile whether you wear one on its own or layered under knits, over tees, or with a denim jacket. From solid colors to floral prints, this wardrobe essential truly stands the test of time.

Mango Midi Denim Skirt ($60)

AG The Lana Skirt ($215)

Dolce Vita Bruna Heels ($120)

Aqua Elsie High-Heel Thong Sandals ($64, originally $92)

Baggy trousers are one of those so-wrong-it's-right kind of trends. You know, the type we picture on dads and grandparents. Well, in the '90s, this look was major (think Meg Ryan at the end of You've Got Mail) with a baby tee, sneakers, and a cute mini bag.

Levi's Dad Chino Pants ($70, originally $98)

Pull&Bear Basic Slouchy Jeans With Darts ($40)

Donni Mini Sherpa Chiquita ($40)

Another platform shoe trend to emerge from the '90s is sneakers, and boy, do we love this look for casual-chic style. They are the perfect offset to a miniskirt and pretty top for date night and look just as great with baggy jeans and a tube top.
