Out of all of the decades, the ’90s was, no doubt, the most timeless of them all. Pictures of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell still feel so fresh and effortless. But there is an art to putting together a minimalist, chic look that can withstand the test of time. With a few staples at the backbone of your wardrobe, anyone can unleash their inner ’90s supermodel. A summer slip dress, here. A pair of straight-leg jeans, there. And—voilà—you’ll be well on your way to mastering the best of the ’90s like a street style queen.
For a bit of inspiration, we’ve studied the effortlessly cool ensembles of some of our favorite style stars. From Kendall Jenner’s off-duty outfits to Laura Harrier’s errand-running looks, these are the ’90s-inspired staples that each lady relies on for everyday ease.
Timeless Denim
While the trend followers continue to argue over skinny versus baggy, the most stylish style stars know the timeless power of the perfect in-between fit. Follow Harrier’s lead and invest in a streamlined silhouette that offers just the right amount of breathing room.
Power Shirts
If you only remember one lesson from the ’90s, it’s that less is always more. Investing in high-quality essentials—like a white button-down shirt—that can be re-worn and mixed and matched will prove to be a smart shopping strategy in the long run. Plus, leaning into elevated wardrobe staples means that you won’t be embarrassed when you see old pictures of yourself 20 years from now.
Elevated Slip Dresses
Dressed up with boots in the summer or down with cool sneakers, the slip dress is the pièce de résistance of the ’90s. Add a hint of lace, and it feels refreshingly modern again.
Sleek Pedal Pushers
Don’t underestimate the power of the pedal pusher. They might have been forgotten about for a while, but the in-between length will forever be the sophisticated summer alternative for those who aren’t into baggy Bermudas or super short shorts.
