10 Best ‘90s Trends That Are Still Popular Today
We loved the '90s so much that every so often, it feels like we just need to relive them, baby, one more time. It’s true that most trends go out of style and reemerge like your ex who won’t stop texting you. But the difference between dated fads and your awkward ex is that sometimes you don’t mind the trends coming back into your life. Whether you were born in the '90s or just pay homage to the frosted tips of decades past, you have to admit that there’s something about the grunge-loving decade that won’t quit playin’ games with your heart. Good news for you: You don’t have to let them go quite yet. These 10 fads from the '90s are still alive and well, and you can appreciate them right here and now.

Who would have ever thought that the goofiest accessory from the ‘90s would make a comeback? Nowadays, everyone from the Biebs to your arch nemesis at summer camp rocks a bucket hat—the more colorful the floral print, the better.

When *NSync was formed in 1995, it was like the heavens themselves opened up and allowed us to listen to the sweet, sweet music of parachute-pants-wearing angels. And from the wreckage of their break up in 2002 was one silver lining: Justin Randall Timberlake. Nowadays, J.T. is a dad, husband, and actor, but he still makes time to serenade the people of the world, and for that, we praise him.

You were a certified cool girl in the ‘90s if you rocked a choker on the regular... and Especially if it was a tattoo plastic choker. Everyone from Jennifer Love Hewitt to Melissa Joan Hart wore one, and the trend has come back in style. Rejoice as you wear your springy plastic necklace and think of simpler times, like when you used to watch The Rugrats and still traded Pokemon cards. Sigh.

Yoooooo I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want! More Victoria Beckham, please. The Spice Girls were the greatest girl band in the ‘90s — maybe of all time — and Victoria Beckham a.k.a. Posh Spice has managed to stay relevant. You might hear more about her son, Brooklyn, lately, but she’s developed a huge name for herself in the fashion world. Girl power.
5/11Lisa Frank
Remember your treasured notebooks that were covered in psychedelic colors and googly-eyed animals? Lisa Frank is still going strong today. She’s coming out with a line of adult coloring books, which might not be as uh-maz-ing as the neon pink unicorn backpack you once loved, but it’ll be worth a purchase for the nostalgia, nonetheless.

In the ‘90s, Kenan Thompson was literally all that. Face it, Kenan Thompson made you laugh so hard that you snorted Yoohoo out your nose on multiple occasions. Whether he was starring alongside Kel in Good Burger or soaking in a bath tub during Everyday French with Pierre Escargot, he made you smile. Luckily, you can still catch him hamming it up on SNL — teaching us all that if you speak nonsense in a bathtub such as “Kiss me under the bologna tree,” that one day perhaps you too can wind up on television.

You were either team Backstreet or *NSync in the ‘90s..and those who were truly lawless pledged devotion to 98 Degrees. Screaming fans and countless screen printed t-shirts characterized the ‘90s because of these testerone-filled crooners. And today, we’re happy to say, that the trend is alive and well again. Even though One Direction is no more — it’s OK to cry about it — we still have bands the likes of 5 Seconds of Summer, The Vamps, and Rixton to swoon over.

You might think that overalls should be reserved for professional house painters and train conductors, but you’d be wrong. The ‘90s staple has reemerged into the early 2000s in a blaze of glory; everyone from Gigi Hadid to J.Lo wears them. Your instinct might tell you to avoid the trend, but relax, they’re comfy as hell and are the perfect no-brainer outfit for a lazy summer’s day.
FilmMagic9/11Lip Gloss
You knew when your BFF pulled out her lip gloss when you were hanging around her spikey-haired crush that things were about to go downnn. The sticky sweet flavors of the ‘90s have long gone, but thanks to Kylie Jenner, the lip wand trend is back in full swing.
FilmMagic10/11Beyoncé Knowles
We saved the best for last, because Beyoncé deserves nothing but the best. From her days of leading Destiny’s Child in hits like "Bootylicious," "Survivor," "Soldier," "Say My Name,"... (the list could seriously go on forever), Queen Bey has continued her climb to the top. Recognized for being a leader in the music industry, she gives a voice to women everywhere, and still has us jumpin’, jumpin’ after all these years.
