90's Are Making A Comeback

Evolution and repetition are the two core reasons why fashion even exists. All throughout history, we can trace back trends to previous time periods, and the emulation still occurs today. Every time I enter a store with my mother or older relative I am hit with the "Girl, we used to wear this stuff back in the day! Mhm, a blast from the past". Even though we don't want to admit that we probably mimick our parents in pictures we take now from their own back then, the truth is inevitable. In my opinion, nostalgia is in the air- the 90's have certainly returned and graced our culture. Currently, sports wear, snapbacks, and eccentric hairstyles are returning to the subculture fashion scene. 90's-influenced jewelry graces our necks and ears, and Dr. Martens are returning to the U.S. from teenage infatuation. Leather and varsity jackets, snakeskin, bold letters on hats and skull caps, and all black ensembles are continually making their way onto the fashion-forward pedestal. Thanks to artists like A$ap Rocky, Joey Bada$$, and Azealia Banks, the influence from NY is spreading all over the U.S. Some may even say this influence is spreading all over the world because of social-networking sites. So, ladies and gents, return to mom and pop's house and dig out those old, certainly not outdated, vintage tee shirts and jackets. It's going to be a nostalgic and eclectic winter.
