Does Your Mom Look Better Than You?

History tends to repeat itself. The saying definitely holds true in the fashion industry as ’90s trends are coming back in style. Trends that were once considered bold become ugly and embarrassing, only to be re-worn decades later. So, it is time to face the facts, ladies; your mom might have better style than you.

“What goes around, comes around,” is true this year as the ’90s fashion trends come back with a modern twist. Denim skirts and crop-tops are back and better than ever. Denim skirts look best paired with a tight tank top or a bodysuit. Personally, I think that denim skirts look best with a crop-top, creating a complete blast from the past. The crop-top can also be paired with high-waisted jeans and bell bottom pants.

Edgy fashion pieces are quickly coming back into play, including the iconic choker. Chokers are comfortable and give off a “rock star” vibe. Popular styles include the tattoo choker, velvet choker and lace choker. The necklaces are simple pieces of jewelry, but they make a bold statement. They can be worn with just about everything including a St. Dominic plaid skirt and a polo.

The ’90s trends did not just come back in the form of clothing, but also hair and makeup. Teasing brushes are a necessity for the classic “party pony.” The half-up, half-down look is a versatile style. The hairdo can be worn to school or a concert on Saturday night. Dark lips have also come into play this fall. Lolita by Kat Von D is a must-have grunge lip color for the months of October and November.

The girls at St. Dominic have picked up on the ’90s fashion trends along with the rest of the world. Iconic fashion looks from the past are being recreated in a modern way. If you haven’t hopped on the ’90s fashion train yet, you might want to; it is very popular and it is moving fast! Most importantly, flip through your parents’ high school yearbooks because they just might be wearing the trends of this year’s Vogue.
