    Flashback Fashion – The 90s!

    Hello there, BE followers! I hope your day has been great so far. For me its has been a great weekend and an even better start of the week because the story I was waiting for finally got published in the Times of Chandigarh. So I was asked to contribute to a story on how 90s fashion is coming back and what can you do to get the look – which is affordable and people can relate to.

    At first – I thought to myself  – oh my god, 90s! I’ve always been a 60s fashion girl. I totally admired that era – edgy cuts, collared dresses, feminine yet cool! And then were was 90s fashion – an era that takes me back to my early teen years. It was an era of POP.  Spice girls, Madonna, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, Mariah Carey to name a few – were all over the place. I consider that era of ‘let’s try everything and look crazy’. Literally! For me, it wasn’t the best time when it comes to fashion, but if you ignore all the crazy stuff and look at every fashion accessory/ clothing from the 90s individually – you will find some really amazing stuff. I think its all about balancing and layering it right. More than pop – I think can relate more to grunge/ rock fashion from the 90s . It think it was really cool and that’s what I chose to do for the story. I picked up the basics – a good denim jacket, straight high waist jeans, a chunky belt and ankle length boots. I decided to do two looks – one with the denim jacket and one with the plaid shirt. Plaid was BIG in the 90s – it still is. It’s one of those forever kind of things. I couldn’t not do it 🙂 I hope you guys these looks!

    I clearly remember Zeenat Aman in Dam-maro-dam with the bindi, big yellow sunglasses, winged eyeliner and kurta with garland around her neck. She did complete justice to the Hippie Trend and it’s a statement even today. This trend started in the late 1960s and become very popular in late seventies and the early eighties.

    One of the prominent trends of Eighties has to be Hippie fashion is all about loud patterns, prints and colors. This trend is associated with flowly silhouettes.  Zeenat Aman is the one who popularised the hippie fashion in India with her vibrant colored shirts and dresses (with large amounts of ‘oomph’ factor ofcourse) were the kind of clothes she commonly wore on-screen. She was not conservative in the slightest way and certain trends became exceedingly popular all because of her. Flaired high waist pants and an overall hippie style of dressing was made popular during that time because of the ease in which Zeenat Aman carried these styles. The Retro look was very popular during her time and she took it to greater heights with her sense of fashion and style.

    So when I was planning the last part of the story, I know I had to take inspiration from the queen herself. I got this beautiful printed dress from Shopbe and it perfectly fit my eighties fashion story. I paired the dress with a rose pink turtle neck tee. I kept my hair open staying true to the free-spirited vibe of hippie fashion. I carried a suede fringe bag along with it. No eighties look can be complete without a pair of over-sized tinted sunglasses and I prefer yellow. I pop of bright pink on the lips and my clothes transported me back to the eighties.
