1. Bandannas

human hair color, eyebrow, headgear, forehead, hair accessory, This is definitely one of many favorite 90s fashion trends. Hip-hop culture made it cool to wear bandannas on your head. Tupac rocked it to show which side he was on in the rap world. Today, this trend still sticks around. The gangsters still wear their bandannas on their heads to tell people, “Look out, I am tough! Fear me!” Bandannas can be useful for when you are doing yard work on a long hot day.

2. Ripped Jeans

jeans, outerwear, shoulder, fur, sweater, In the early 90s, Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain didn’t set out to be a trendsetter. But, he ended up doing so by accident with the whole grunge style. One fashion statement was in his jeans. The rattier the jeans, the better. Holes in the knees and runs on the pant legs added to the rocker look. If you wanted to take it further, you had different colored patches sewn on the legs. Today, there are big-name companies that will purposely stylize jeans just to bring that vintage look. Ripped jeans look great with vintage rocker tees.

4. Flannel
