SKIRT SUIT

Maxi isn't just street style anymore, it belongs on the runway couture. This one is a must-have.


DENIM ON DENIM



Here comes the great fashion debate of denim-on-denim styles. The 90s icons like Brad Pitt and Heidi Klum gave this style the merit it deserves. Though some may not agree with it!


While pairing denim with denim can be tricky, if you get it right trust me people will write songs about it. It's an underrated look that deserves to be in your wardrobe.


BIKER SHORTS


If you are bored of your jeans and skirts, the stretchy and form-fitting biker shorts. Yes, biker shorts are out of the gyms and pools and have landed straight into the runway and street style.

PS - Princess Diana is the ultimate biker shorts queen.


TUBE DRESS


Every 90s teenager would have swooned over a tube top in music videos or tv shows. Nostalgic right? The fashion world has given in nostalgia and brought back the strapless tube tops and dresses with a bang.


Luxury brands like Alexander McQueen and Blumarine created minimalist looks with tube dresses that looked chic and elegant.


STRAIGHT-LEG JEANS


If you are bored of skinny jeans, give some breath of fresh air to your skin with these straight-leg jeans. They are our personal favorite as they offer limitless styling potential. Go effortless with these by pairing them with a solid tee, blazer, and a comfortable pair of comfortable sneakers or a pair of suede.


CHOKER


Either you love it or you hate it, there is nothing in between. Chokers lie in the same category. If you loved this 90s trend and are excited to explore your inner punk style, now is the time.

SHEER DRESS

Rihanna redefined maternity clothing in a black sheer Dior lingerie gown looking like an absolute diva.


LEATHER JACKET


Are leather jackets still in fashion? Yes, they were and they are. It's a minimalist lovers' essential wardrobe staple for a super cool look. Keeping the 90s insight, leather jackets today are available in different silhouettes, from fitted and cropped to baggy and oversized.

BUTTON-DOWN


Nothing defines a minimalist look better than an oversized and reworked button-down shirt. They aren't just for business meetings and the workplace anymore.
