All The 90s Trends That Are Back In 2021: Bucket hats, leather blazers, slip dresses, corsets and more of the biggest trends of the 90s we're loving for SS21

Contents hide

It would be easy to think you’d woken up in the 90s when you walk down the street in London today, as fashion in 2021 seems to be all about the past era.

Many items that were popular back in the Spice Girls’ heyday are back and whether you love it or hate it, it’s becoming impossible to ignore. Those corsets Kim Kardashian has been consistently wearing? So 90s. Prada’s coveted bucket hats? Reimagined from the decade. And cargo pants? We’ve made our point.

It’s easy to brush the trends of the era off as something you’re not interested in, but you’re probably embracing them without even knowing they’re 90s. So to make it clearer, here are the most notable trends having a renaissance this year.
