Once upon a time in the 90s, when there were no slay Queens, or Instagram boys, there were only Fashionistas - people who just wanted to look real cool and good. I remember how the fashionista rocked their worlds. If you didn't have / do the following fashion items / styles, you were definitely not a 90s fashionista....


1. Flared Jeans

Flared jeans has been in existence in the fashion world from way back. However, people rocked this piece of clothing a lot in the 90s. How can you be a Fashionista without owning pairs of flared jeans. Flared jeans were the go-to jeans for that beautiful look. Both genders rocked this piece.


2. Mono-strap bags
If you didn't rock this bag in school, then you were not "big". My friends and I all bought this bag to show off. And trust me, this bag had a way of making people 'respect' your fashion sense.

3. Skin hair cut
Before then, the art of chopping all of a man's hair was something that looked so aweful. All of a sudden, the style became something unique. Ladies wanted men who had this 'gorimapa' hair cut, and the men in turn followed the trend.

4. Cat Walking
If you didn't know how to do the cat-walk in the 90s, you were not definitely not yet a lady. If you wanted to belong to the class of the fashionista, the way you carry yourself goes a long way.

5. Bandana
This head piece was something we all fell in love with. EVERY Fashionista in the 90s had this. Its a rectangular or squared shape piece that came in a variety of colors. It is also worn on the neck or wrist. A Fashionista's wardrobe wasn't complete without a Bandana.

6. Kito Trekkers / Slippers

Let me say it this way - A Fashionista that doesn't own a pair of Kito, is that one a Fashionista? If you didn't own either a pair of Kito trekkers or slippers, you were not ready to join the fashion gang.

7. Number tops

Both male and female Fashionista rocked number tops in the 90s. Number tops looked real nice on flared jeans.

8. Dungarees
This apparel made a lot of sense in the 90s. Dungaree wasn't gender-specific, and usually worn over a top. Although it is not limited to a particular material, most fashionista rocked the jean dungaree the most.

Omo, that bandana made one looked like a 'bad boy' back in the days. That was how one Anulika on our street follows any guy that ties bandana




Mods, don't you guys watch football?

I'm watching Juventus beat the crap out of Real Madrid.

Fashion as a way of 'coming back'. Skinny jeans was the in thing in in times of yore. Now it is in the in thing now.

Assuredly all that the op has listed will be in the in thing in a few years.
