A crazy mix of "signature" clothes brought by shuttles, unimaginable hairstyles and the eternal desire to be fashionable and cool - that was the fashion of the 90s.

And, you know, it worked. Wearing Malvina jeans, Abibas sneakers, a Boys sweater and a USA California baseball cap, everyone could conquer more than one Svetka Sokolova from 9 B with crazy bangs at the school disco.

website I decided to remember 13 awesome things that we all wore in the 90s.

Leggings

In the 90s, this simple piece of clothing had a real finest hour. Regardless of the complexion, they were worn by everyone and everywhere. High school graduation? Leggings. For bread? Leggings. Winter? Tights under leggings - and go. Green, purple, pink, yellow, gold - the more vigorous the colors, the better and the more likely the girl's legs became the "highlight of the program." That is, "nails".

Tracksuits

It is now that we put on sportswear exclusively to the gym (well, okay, even to barbecues), and in those wonderful times, from the last lesson of physical education, it was completely easy to go to your friend to visit a friend for tea, to the theater, to the cinema, and to the disco, whatever.

Colored rubber bands

Particularly confused picked them up to match the color of leggings. With the help of this miracle of the Chinese chemical industry, the hairstyles of our girls, namely: tails, braids, “palm trees” and other twists, shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow. Yes, and they held on so firmly that there was no need for the “Charm” varnish - a miracle of the now domestic chemical industry.

Platform

"It's impossible to walk on them!" - we will exclaim now, but when did it stop fashionistas and fashionistas. In such shoes it was convenient to flaunt the ruins of socialism, and the spring flood was not terrible. It seems that “three meters above the sky” is just about such shoes.

Badges

“There are never too many badges” - such an unspoken motto took place among the youth of that era. Therefore, every more or less suitable and free space on backpacks, bags, belts, jackets and so on was engaged in badges. Tsoi, Schwarzenegger, “Get out of here”, “I want a beer” looked at us from plastic plaques and were perplexed: “What are we doing here?”

T-shirts

T-shirts are a separate story. White, pink, knee-length, fringed, polka-dot, striped, with Mickey Mouse and Baywatch. But, of course, the T-shirt with Leonardo DiCaprio from the Titanic era has become iconic. If you also pick up leggings for credits, then you could go to the school disco for free. Of course, if you managed to get ahead of 20 other fashionistas of the same kind.

Caps

If you wear a baseball cap, then you are cool: you have the latest version of Tetris, you can climb into garages, take change from first graders and be late for classes. A baseball cap must have the inscription "USA" and an eagle spreading its wings. All other baseball caps are cheap fakes and an attempt to join the cool clan.

Jeans jackets

Whether due to a technical defect, or because it was necessary, but the fabric of these denim jackets was so dense, as if they had been soaked in a concrete solution. But what can not be done for the sake of fashion - we hardly pulled on these pea jackets, alluring symbols of the entire Western world, and, squeezed, but not broken, went to the guys from the neighboring yard.

Olympics

It was much more pleasant to walk in an olympic jacket - the upper part of a tracksuit, so no one bothered and wore it instead of jackets almost until the very cold. Bright, to match leggings, they fluttered so freely in the wind! And their “hello, epilepsy” color scheme noticeably diluted the gray everyday life of the 90s. But more importantly, they didn't even need to be ironed!

Borsets

This accessory belonged to those who are older, who already walked away in baseball caps and moved, so to speak, to a new level. However, the borset was successfully "combined" with a tracksuit. It is understandable - it is still more convenient to climb frozen construction sites and "stir up" business in it. Doesn't press on the shoulders.

Packages

Today, when you look at these photos, it becomes funny. Well, let it be - it was our history, our, God forgive me, culture, thanks to which we became what we already are. And although we can no longer be tempted by abibas suits with stripes, sometimes we really want to secretly dilute a bag of Yupi and remember dashing youth.

Fashion in the 90s was truly unique. At that difficult time, when life was hard enough for everyone, people dressed and wore what they imported from abroad or tried to acquire the most similar market analogues. Let's remember what many of us wore in the 90s.

Sometimes the Russian 90s is called "shocking", because looking at a photo from the past today, you involuntarily think: "Yes, how could you even wear such a thing ?!"

An integral part of the wardrobe of the 90s was clothes in the style of disco, rock, punk and rap. Remember the Kar-Man group, Bogdan Titomir and the way they dressed. By the way, here is a photo of cool guys in disco style!

While some fans from Tender May and the Mirage band, Depeche Mode, Cure and Nirvana ruled the western scene. Rock fans combed cock-like bangs, put on tight leggings and black T-shirts, drew black circles around the eyes and took pictures for memory.

Here are brutal men all in badges - also a trend of the 90s!

It was the "golden time" of denim! Everything from denim was fashionable: shorts, skirts, and shirts... At the very beginning of the 90s, jeans continued to be “cooked” (they started back in the 80s) - twisted, pulled, boiled in bleach or vinegar. And then the label was often sewn on! For greater "coolness". The famous Mawin jeans (“Malvins”) and short denim skirts with white frills and the inscription Lambada can be called symbols of the time!

Tights / leggings were worn by all the girls! Despite the terrible quality ... Almost everyone had black leggings (even those who were deprived of straight legs by nature). And colored (acid!) were considered to be a real “peep” of fashion - bright yellow, pink, turquoise ... And then “dolchiki” - colored insulated tights came into fashion. The most stylish young ladies wore "dolchiki" in large stripes. Preferably a very bright, contrasting color.
Transparent tights were also in vogue. But, of course, they had to be with some kind of "bells and whistles" (in the spirit of the times, in general). The coolest thing is if the tights were with floral patterns. And if there is also a strazik among the ornament, then that's it, you are the queen!

Tracksuits were popular with both women and men. But the latter enjoyed special love. In tracksuits, they went to work, to a disco and on dates. Oh, and if there was a cherished inscription - there was no price for such a suit!

By the mid-90s, some men moved from tracksuits to formal clothes. Well, how strict... Dressed in jackets, in general. Raspberry, really. Now there are jokes about them. And then it was the truth of life. Those who called themselves "new Russians" appeared. They could be distinguished just by crimson jackets, black trousers and pointed boots. Oh yes, about the golden chain! That was important too, yes. Other colors of jackets were much less in demand. And in general, the vast majority of men went in tracksuits.

And if a fashionista man did not wear either a raspberry jacket or a tracksuit, then almost certainly he did not get out of sweaters with ornaments. By the way, the girls did not disdain such sweaters either. True, among the fair sex it was fashionable to wear artificially elongated voluminous ones - under leggings. In those days, clothing was given immeasurably more importance than now. this was due to a certain shortage and high cost of things that were considered fashionable. It is good that this fashion has remained in the past. Nowadays, everyone can choose any clothes in any style. And everyday, and weekend, and home, and work. Clothing stores at every turn, both traditional and online stores. At any time, you can go to the online store of home clothes, men's, women's, children's, summer, winter and choose according to your pocket, taste and desire.

Skirts kept getting shorter and shorter! In addition to the lambada, they also wore tight denim skirts, pleated skirts with suspenders and elastic skirts. The latter also came in a wide variety of acidic colors!

Incredible bouffant-towers on the head continued their triumphal march across the country. Perm was also popular. Particular attention was paid to the bangs - she had to literally "stand"!

These are some other important people of those years!

This is how it was - the fashion of the 90s. Bright, reckless, memorable.
And by the end of the decade, there was a steady trend towards shortening clothes - tops began to be worn so that the navel was visible, and skirts began to remind the older generation of wide belts (this style was called pornochic). Acid colors began to be forgotten, but rhinestones, sequins, sequins, on the contrary, became more. The country has risen to its feet. The consumer boom has begun. The incomprehensible style of the 90s was replaced by what was dubbed Russian glamour. For a whole decade it has come - even the crisis has been resisted for a very long time. But this is a completely different "fashion story" ... And, perhaps, already less interesting.

The trends of the 90s have definitely entered the history of fashion - denim jeans, multi-colored leggings, a baseball cap with the inscription "USA California", crazy bouffant, leather miniskirts ... The fashion of the 90s was formed under the influence of a youth movement, which was characterized by lightheartedness and rebellious spirit. Today we invite you to remember 13 cool things we wore in the 90s.

Leggings

Almost every girl had black leggings (even those who were deprived of even legs by nature). And colored (acid!) were considered to be a real "squeak" of fashion - bright yellow, green, red, pink, turquoise ... The brighter the leggings, the more stylish the whole image.

Tracksuits

Tracksuits were as popular as leggings. Always and everywhere - the main motto of fashionistas of the 90s. At that time, girls wore tracksuits not only to the gym and to visit a friend, but also to the theater or to a disco.

Colored rubber bands

In the 90s, girls wore mostly high hairstyles. A simple and modern look involved pigtails, which later turned into two high buns. For more fun, such hairstyles were decorated with many colored rubber bands.

Platform

Platform sneakers are a popular shoe of the 90s. All fashionistas of that time flaunted in such shoes.

Badges

Surely someone still had badges from the 90s that fashionistas liked to attach to any item of clothing, including a bag.

T-shirts "Titanic"

This touching and sad story shocked women so much that T-shirts and tops with the image of the main characters of the film were in almost every wardrobe.

Caps

Such a cap perfectly complemented the image of a tracksuit or a t-shirt with a titanic and leggings. And the eagle, depicted on the cap, gave incredible coolness and hooliganism.

Jeans jackets

It was the "golden time" of denim! Everything from denim was fashionable - and shorts, and skirts, and shirts ...

Olympics

When fashionistas got tired of going to the disco in tracksuits, they put on sweatshirts and bright leggings.

Purses

At the word “purse”, many people have a clearly formed image from the distant nineties: a raspberry jacket, a gold chain and a purse stuffed to capacity with small bills. All this was a symbol of luxury for the bandits who escaped "into the people."

Packages


If now women of fashion pick up bags to match their shoes, in the 90s young ladies picked plastic bags to match the color of their leggings :)

The fashion of the 90s in Russia was an absolutely unique phenomenon. The name of the style of that time has not yet been invented. Which is not smart. It was a time when "fashion itself went out of fashion."

Who dressed in what much. The Soviet austerity in the suit was replaced by eclecticism, asymmetrical cut, gouge-out colors... Everyone wanted to stand out. But most couldn't. Yes, and most often they could not afford it - the time was difficult. Very difficult, no one argues with that. And yet, today many are nostalgic for the "dashing 90s." Including, and according to the style of that time (or, maybe, just because of its absence?).

We propose to remember how the country dressed in the 90s. And what was in the wardrobe of everyone who considered themselves the first fashionistas in Russia.

1) Denim jackets, skirts, trousers, overalls.

It was the "golden time" of denim! Everything from denim was fashionable - shorts, skirts, and shirts ... At the very beginning of the 90s, jeans continued to be "cooked" (they started back in the 80s) - twisted, pulled, boiled in bleach or vinegar. And then the label was often sewn on! For greater "coolness".

But the truth is, after cunning manipulations in the bathroom, the jeans turned out to be truly unique! And you could be sure - no one else has them!

The famous Mawin jeans (“Malvins”) and short denim skirts with white frills and the inscription Lambada can be called symbols of the time!

2) Multi-colored leggings and "dolchiki"

Tights / leggings were worn by all the girls! Despite the terrible quality ... Almost everyone had black leggings (even those who were deprived of straight legs by nature). And colored (acid ones!) were considered to be a real "squeak" of fashion - bright yellow, pink, turquoise ...

And then “dolchiki” came into fashion - colored insulated tights. The most stylish young ladies wore "dolchiki" in large stripes. Preferably a very bright, contrasting color.

Transparent tights were also in vogue. But, of course, they had to be with some kind of "bells and whistles" (in the spirit of the times, in general). The coolest thing is if the tights were with floral patterns. And if there is also a strazik among the ornament, then that's it, you are the queen!

3) Leather jackets and skirts.

Leather was not much less popular than denim. Leather jackets, leather vests, trousers - all this was at the height of fashion. Black leather jackets with many locks and rivets were especially valued.

4) Tracksuits.

They were popular with both women and men. But the latter enjoyed special love. In tracksuits, they went to work, to a disco and on dates. Oh, and if there was a cherished inscription - Adidas - there was no price for such a suit!

5) Bologna jackets.

From outerwear, in addition to jeans and leather products, bologna jackets were popular in winter.

And in spring and autumn, they wore soft “wrinkled” raincoats. Or, again, bologna jackets, if there was no money for a fashionable raincoat. Of the hats, the bonnet was popular.

6) Miniskirts.

Skirts kept getting shorter and shorter! In addition to the lambada, they also wore tight denim skirts, pleated skirts with suspenders and elastic skirts. The latter also came in a wide variety of acidic colors!

7) Raspberry jackets for men.

By the mid-90s, some men moved from tracksuits to formal clothes. Well, how strict... Dressed in jackets, in general. Raspberry, really. Now there are jokes about them. And then it was the truth of life. Those who called themselves "new Russians" appeared. They could be distinguished just by crimson jackets, black trousers and pointed boots. Oh yes, they almost forgot about the golden chain! That was important too, yes.

Other colors of jackets were much less in demand. And in general, we recall that the vast majority of men wore tracksuits.

8) Sweaters with ornaments.

And if a fashionista man did not wear either a raspberry jacket or a tracksuit, then almost certainly he did not get out of sweaters with ornaments. By the way, the girls did not disdain such sweaters either. True, among the fair sex it was fashionable to wear artificially elongated voluminous sweaters - under leggings.

9) Women's raincoats, jackets and sweaters with broad shoulders.

The love for silhouettes with broad shoulders migrated to the 90s from the 80s. They have been popular for almost a decade.

10) White floral shirts and angora sweaters.

Older girls in the 90s had a love for voluminous silk shirts with short sleeves and printed in bright colors.

Almost without exception, women over forty wore angorka sweaters! Most often with embroidery with beads or sequins. Even among the ladies of the age, it was fashionable to wear sweaters with lurex.

11) Loose printed dresses.

The most feminine item of clothing - dresses - in the 90s were not so popular. But if the dresses were worn, then, naturally, they should have had a twist. So, printed T-shirt dresses were in fashion. The most coveted drawing of the early 90s is Mickey Mouse!

By the way, about prints. In 1997, after the release of the movie "Titanic", tops became fashionable (of course to the navel or even higher!) with Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Tops were from terrible synthetics. But almost all girls and teenage girls wore them!

As for evening dresses, in the mid-90s they became tight and shiny! (not much has changed here yet)

12) Flared trousers

Flared trousers, which appeared in the 19th century as a uniform of American sailors, became popular in Russia for the second time by the mid-90s (the first wave occurred in the 60s and 70s). Both girls and boys wore them. The fashionable flare in our country did not start from the hip, but from the knee.

13) Headbands, bandanas, caps.

In the 90s, it became popular among guys to wear caps and bandanas. And among the girls - headbands. As for aerobics (it was just becoming fashionable).

14) Hairstyles: bouffant and bangs accent

Incredible bouffant-towers on the head continued their triumphal march across the country. Perm was also popular.

Particular attention was paid to the bangs - she had to literally "stand"!

Hair dyed in incredible colors! Both blue and green, too. But mostly informal teenagers dared.

Who was afraid to dye all their hair, but still wanted to be fashionable, used ... mascara! The hair mascaras were red, blue, red... We used them sparingly. Basically, bangs. You could also color your bangs with colored hairspray.

For hairstyles, it was also fashionable to buy colored elastic bands and butterfly hairpins.

15) Makeup: blue eye shadow, brown lip liner.

Of course, in the 90s, the make-up of girls was also catchy. Now such a coloring, perhaps, will be called combat. The emphasis was not shy to do both on the eyes and on the lips.

At the same time, it was fashionable to use dark pencils for lips, and pale lipstick. But red lipstick was also in trend. As for the eye make-up, the shadows were used in all sorts of colors. Even bright blue... Today, you see, rarely anyone dares to do such a thing.

Colored eyeliners with sparkles and bright colored mascaras were also in fashion - most often blue, green, purple.

This is how it was - the fashion of the 90s. Bright, reckless, memorable.

And by the end of the decade, there was a steady trend towards shortening clothes - tops began to be worn so that the navel was visible, and skirts began to remind the older generation of wide belts (this style was called pornochic). Acid colors began to be forgotten, but rhinestones, sequins, sequins, on the contrary, became more. The country has risen to its feet. The consumer boom has begun. The incomprehensible style of the 90s was replaced by what was dubbed Russian glamour. For a whole decade it has come - even the crisis has been resisted for a very long time. But this is a completely different "fashion story" ... And, perhaps, already less interesting.

What did you wear in the 90s? Share in the comments!

You can laugh as much as you like at the quirks of modern fashion designers and nostalgic for the bygone era of the late 80s and 90s, but there is something that completely covers all the advantages of that time. Fashion!
I really don't understand how anyone could like it!

Pre-perestroika fashion and there is nothing to discuss - they wore what they could sew or buy in the stores of that time. And after the restructuring, it started!

The first post-perestroika items were simply of high quality: jeans, blouses, dresses with wide skirts, which were worn with high heels. And then, along with the new time, new outfits came to the Union from Poland and from the “small Arnautskaya” and - life began to boil ...
The people were disoriented. On the one hand - freedom, on the other - what is fashionable? We watched TV and imitated everyone who had to. Including the stars. And it turned out to be such a thick batch of fashion and subcultures that poured into the country that everyone dressed in what they liked. Obviously disco outfits were side by side with strict blouses or trousers. Nobody was surprised by the impossible combination of a tracksuit jacket and dress pants.

This is the era of puffy, shapeless jackets, in which it was not clear who was there - a girl or a guy.



And obligatory voluminous shoulders



It was beautiful only on models, and short girls walked like generals without a mustache in their coats with giant shoulders.
Cloaks were also shapeless


There was no way to guess the girl's figure under the clothes. The raincoat could be bought a couple of sizes larger - the "bag" fashion allowed any options. Just not in shape!
A hood was put on for a warm coat or jacket.

This ugly structure was far from suitable for everyone, but half of the girls and women wore it. The rest wore mink or other fur hats, another impossible idea of ​​wealth.
Then, at one moment, everyone “fell ill” with sports - there were countless aerobics shows on TV

And everyone dressed up in multi-colored shiny leggings. Wear them anywhere, not just to the disco

Everyone wore leggings, regardless of the figure. They were also painted in combat. Imitated Madonna and our stars.




Hairstyles are a lot of varnish or any other improvised means to “put” bangs. Makeup is powerful. They also learned, mainly from those who flashed on the screen.
Mini and fishnet tights. Almost every girl had the same, regardless of the length, slenderness and beauty of the legs


And also leather jackets or denim jackets. Either one or the other was in every first girl. However, the guys also wore jeans and leather jackets.




The mini relied on fishnet tights or "dolchiki" - tights with patterns, or leggings.


Leggings and a miniskirt was a terrible combination, but it was worn.

Denim jacket and elastic skirt. Plus the obligatory bouffant and war paint.
Approximately like this


There is no principle of "one thing - either eyes or lips." Both that, and another is made up, yes as it is possible more brightly.


Banana Pants


A strange model of trousers, very wide at the waist and narrowed towards the bottom. The clumsy top only emphasized the voluminous fifth points. "Bananas" were produced in different colors.
They also wore tracksuits.

They were simply put on like ordinary clothes - both in a feast and in the world. Girls - with pumps or even high heels

The jacket from the suit could well be worn as a jacket

Then “Electroclub” sang on the screen, and everyone rushed to buy or make their own “varenki”


Jeans were tied in knots and boiled in large pots of soda and bleach. The hellish mixture stank, but the result was worth it. Jeans were worn by "the most backward segments of the population" and, probably, in no other country in the world
