SUMMER OF 99

“Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on…….
Once more, you open the door,
And you’re here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on……”

Did you sing along or did you sing along? Yes, that’s the charm of the 90s!

It’s a summer afternoon; you come back from school, throw your bag on the sofa and switch on the TV. Your timing is just so perfect because Recess is just about to start. But Mom! You hear her screaming at you from the kitchen, to go and change your clothes while she makes you hot chapattis for lunch! Wasn’t it the perfect time? When you were so carefree, even about what to wear! When you got inspired by baggy shirts and denim jackets and you wanted to wear the exact same things when you grow up?

So, here we are! Presenting you with a golden opportunity to RE-LIVE your 90s dreams! 

Be it your romantic day or your girl’s day out, 90s was the perfect time to showcase chic and sassy styles of outfits. When you have no options left, a crop top can never go wrong. To add an extra element to your outfit you can always team it up with a hairband and sneakers. This outfit till date is one of the most comfortable and fashionable ensembles one can portray for a date. The trend can never go out of style. Hence, it gives a chance to every girl next door to try it. There are multiple options available in the market for each of the items; there is no limit in experimentation. Here as an example, a yellow colored crop top is teamed up with black jeans and sneakers. And to add an extra factor to it, a hairband is used. Yellow is the color which showcases spring and happiness. It depicts summer and spreads joy. Therefore, outfit gives major goals!!

Whichever era you live in, spending time with friends and creating memories will forever be the best thing to do. Movies, a quick trip to your favorite cafe to grab a bite or just sitting somewhere and chatting the whole day, you will end up having a gala time no matter what you plan on doing, and fussing about your outfit is the last thing on your mind. Mom jeans was the biggest trend in the 90’s; the silhouette is almost like pyjamas and is not as restricting as conventional jeans which makes it perfect for a day out. Here a blue mom jean is paired with white T-shirt, sneakers and round sunglasses which makes it the perfect combination of retro chic and an ideal out for almost about anything.

Another famous and classic look is the high waisted bell bottom jeans and a flannel shirt around the waist, paired up with your favorite neon shoes! Perfect for casual occasions and your sunny day out, this outfit is the ultimate goal for “coolness”!

90’s was all about that picnic life, people loved going out and about, sitting at a park and enjoying a great day with friends or family. The biggest challenge though was how to dress fancy without compromising on comfort and the star of the 90s makes an appearance in this situation “The Slip Dress”, so easy to just throw on so easy to carry and comfortable to run around and play those picnic games in, layers as well played a big part in that era and layering t-shirts inside a slip top or a dress was a huge thing back then, after all we have seen the fashion icons Monica and Rachel do it in F.R.I.E.N.D.S and though the trend was long forgotten it is back and how. Here A yellow floral slip dress is layered over a cream lettuce edged sleeve top and a pair of white sneakers and it makes for a perfect fun, flowy and a cute outfit.

Transforming the ‘gloomy hue’ to ‘bloomy blue’ with a hint of layering and pairing… in blue, top to bottom; because the love for blue is eternal! A denim shirt in tied up in style waiting to go on for ages. So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags right away because “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain. Don’t let things pile up and bury you too much to actually follow this beautiful impulse called wanderlust. This is the time! And, keep capturing the Moments, for they’ll make the best part of your memories.

The checkered weave was a way to go for anyone and everyone back in the 90’s and it honestly went nowhere it has lived then and it is living now, it is in fact thriving and is here to stay forever. What makes checks the best kind of clothing you ask?? The sheer amount of coolness it adds to a simple plain top or jeans or anything in general. It can look romantic, edgy or cute depending on the way it is styled. In this outfit a black checkered skirt is paired with a simple black crop top, sneakers and some hoops and it makes for the cutest date night outfit, completing it with a messy high ponytail to make it into a more structured ensemble.

Last, but not the least, we bring to you, a perfect outfit for all your cycling and road trips! Plus point: it goes well when you’re going out with your colleagues from work. A denim dungaree over a loose fitted flannel shirt with a matching beret on your head looks the most graceful and symbolizes power to young women like you all.
