The 1990’s was a very different, leading to the popularisation of the casual chic look, including T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, and trainers which continued into the 2000s. The early 1990s was really continuation of 1980s fashion: women wore manerless denim button down shirts, neon colors, oversized sweaters, T-shirts, sweatshirts, baby doll dresses, trench coats lined with fake fur, and black leather jackets. Matching jeans and denim jackets began to be made in darker shades rather than the bleached acid wash of the 1980s.
1990’s
In the 1990s, people began to adopt tattoos, body piercings and to a lesser extent, other forms of body modification such as branding. This brought back the indifferent, anti-conformist approach to fashion. This included T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, and trainers, a trend which continued into the 2000s.
Ripped jeans, flannel shirts and baggy pants which used the rock & roll and hip-hop movement became very popular. The comfort and the need of wearable clothes became the answer in the fashion industry for most women in the 1990s and 2000s. Ready to wear sellers such as Gap and Banana Republic came to the front of fashion and retro clothing inspired by the 1960s and 1970s was popular for much of the 1990s.
Women’s hair in the early 1990s continued in the big, curly style of the 1980s. The pixie cut and Rachel haircut based on the hairstyles of Jennifer Aniston in Friends and Marlo Thomas in That Girl, were popular in America. Women’s makeup in the early 1990s primarily consisted of dark red lipstick and neutral eyes. By 1997, glittery, sparkling makeup had come into style. This was called “Y2K makeup”, consisting of facial glitter and lip gloss.
2000’s
The fashion in the 2000’s is often referred to as a ‘mash up’ of trends. Trends saw the fusion of previous styles, as well as global and ethnic clothing. People who were 25 years of age and older adopted a dressy casual style. This style was popular throughout the decade. Furthermore, eco-friendly and ethical clothing, such as recycled fashions and fake fur, were popular.
In the early 2000s, women’s hair was often long and straight. From 1995 until 2008 highlights and lowlights of blonde, red, and light brown went mainstream. In the 2000’s, lip gloss was more popular than lipstick among both women and girls. By around 2005, retro-styled makeup from the 1940s came back, such as bright red lips and cat eyes. In the mid and late 2000s, lip gloss was still popular, and the smoky eyes emerged, with more emphasis on eyeliner, mascara, and eye shadow.
