If you’ve noticed a resurgence of ’90s fashion trends in your neighborhood, you’re not alone. From chunky shoes to vibrant accessories, the spirit of the ’90s is back, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. One of the standout styles making a comeback is the iconic Birkenstock sandal, which has transformed from an anti-fashion item into a summer staple. No longer limited to the classic oil-rubbed brown, these sandals now come in an array of fun colors and materials, including metallic finishes and patent leather. While I’ve always leaned towards flip-flops, I’m all for embracing this nostalgic trend. Here are six more ’90s fashion statements we’d love to see rediscovered:

1. Baggy Overalls
   Nothing beats the comfort of baggy overalls. They offer a generous denim-to-surface-area ratio, making them a practical choice. Plus, they eliminate the need to fret about tucking in your shirt. Overalls are perfect for showing off a little skin while still keeping some mystery.
2. T-Shirt Under a Sundress
   Let’s bring back the sundress! This quintessential ’90s style, often seen on the cast of beloved shows like “Friends,” was the epitome of casual chic. Pairing a flowing sundress with a fitted t-shirt underneath not only provided warmth but also made it a great choice for meeting the in-laws.
3. Oversized T-Shirts
   Say goodbye to tight-fitting clothes and hello to oversized t-shirts! The boxy fit is not only comfortable but also practical. Who decided we needed see-through fabrics? I want a solid tee that doesn’t cling and allows for a little airflow. Bonus points if it has sleeves I can cuff for a retro vibe.
4. Flannel Shirts
   I still have a collection of flannel shirts from the early ’90s, and I’m holding onto them tightly! These shirts were the epitome of convenience—wrinkle-free and versatile enough to tie around your waist. Plus, you could easily borrow one from your brother or boyfriend, giving it that perfect oversized look.
5. Chunky Shoes
   After years of squeezing my feet into dainty ballet flats, I’m ready for the return of chunky footwear. Whether it’s Doc Martens or platform sneakers, I want shoes that make a statement. The bigger, the better!
6. Chokers
   Long necklaces have never suited me—too much room for tangles! Chokers, on the other hand, are sleek and functional. I remember having a collection of beaded ones, many of which I snagged at festivals. They’re the perfect accessory that won’t get pulled on by little hands.

So as you dig out your Birkenstocks from the back of your closet, keep an eye out for these other ’90s treasures. You never know when they might pop up in stores again!
