Where the Nineties Teen style comes from
The 1990s mixed several styles at once: grunge flannel, minimal slip dresses, preppy plaid made famous by teen films, and colourful pop looks. Teenagers often combined them all in one outfit.
Signature 90s details include tattoo chokers, butterfly clips and scrunchies, small oval sunglasses, mini backpacks and chunky platform shoes. Denim blue and black were everywhere.
