Name something you remember from the ‘90s and you will still find it rocking in 2019. Somethings from the good old times never left your closet such as bucket hats, hair clips, badass rainbow sneakers, smocked tops, and the list goes on.
And after all, how can one forget the loud colors, bold accents, playful patterns, and fun-vibes in the ‘90s shoes? Below, we have gathered some of the top shoe designs from the ‘90s that are still making a comeback in the fashion industry, one way or another.
Strappy Sandals
Straps became popular in the ‘90s, in fact, a square-toe strappy stiletto was called unofficial shoe of prom night in 1997. Be it the weddings, dances, or any party, every girl had a pair of these and for good reasons too. Now, the strappy gem or crystal sandals, lace-up block heels, red block heels, and almost half of the sandals out there follow the similar strap thing from the ‘90s strap sandals.
You can still rock those strappy sandals with numerous outfits such as sheer or mesh skirts, or any classic monochrome style such as a maxi jersey skirt sitting just above ankles, or simple sass oozing styles like a colored wrap skirt.
Combat Boots
Your inner ‘90s girl never wants you to try those famous combat boots that became popular in the 90s as part of the grunge look. Surely girls used to hide those on big occasions back then but as the times and fashion have evolved, combat boots have inspired biker boots and other leather boots.
To still carry the confidence to wear this chunky otherwise cool footwear, you can try mini styles or go full maxi. There is no range of how you can sport combat shoes like biker boots.
When it comes to an office chic style, you have to try different lengths to see what fits you the best. Combat boots can go with anything starting from A-cut, knee styles, soft sweaters, a tucked-in button-down, sweatshirts, and going all the way to long coats.
Platforms
They were conquering all the markets around the globe in the ‘90s because they symbolized girl power. While girls were following the revolutionary trend that was meant to last more than 30 more years, their moms would always worry that they will break all the bones in their body if they tripped and fell in the platforms.
That was certainly not the case because platforms were and still are one of the most comfortable choices for girls right now. Platforms started in the ‘70s but they got the exposure in the late ‘90s. Today, you can pick thousands of shoe options with platforms in it including the widely popular and in-trend platform wedge sandals. You only need to adjust from being at ground level to suddenly move 4 inches off the floor and it will be the most comfortable footwear for you.
The best thing about the platform wedges is that it can give you all the looks you want. For instance, sport it with a white top and ripped jeans and you have the cute look, wear it with a floral dress and jean jacket to get ready for a summer picnic or grad party or ice cream date.
Conclusion
Some trends are evergreen. They are meant to last long and the ’90s rage is no different. New fashion trends keep coming every other day but the basic styling idea remains the same, picked from some popular trend of the ‘90s or early 2000s.
