How to create fashionable hip hop outfits from the 90s for men and women 

If you have been a 90s kid, then you surely must be knowing the fashion aesthetics around that time. The hip hop fashion with those high waist and boot cut denim pants and leather jackets were ruling the globe. Be it in India or abroad, hip hop fashion was topping the fashion league. The saying ‘what goes around comes around’ – is not only related to your karmas but is also indirectly related to fashion. 

Isn’t this saying very apt for the fashion world as well? The fashion, we as kids experienced, is now back with a bang and some new twists to it. 

Not only hip hop fashion, but fashion also in terms of traditional dresses is the same as it was way back almost two decades ago. But here we will discuss 90s hip hop fashion for both men and women, taking rounds this year in 2020 once again.

Hip Hop during the 90s – 

As 90s hip hop fashion picked up prominence during the 90s, it was clear that another style was rising. This fashion was in full swing if you speak about both men and women. It was building its character through style and the world was inquisitively viewing it as a whole. From the last few years of the 80s and mid-90s, hip-hop fashion was vigorously impacted by information on self. The 90s hip hop fashion around this time was instructive, enabling, and fun with a reflection of conventional culture. 

Singer and rappers were seen shaking the reds, greens and other bright hues with full interest. Following the footprints of the rappers, singers and dancers, the general public started following the trend. Those baggy pants with boot cut flare, embroidered jackets, fitted tees, loosely fitted coats and long boots were the talk of the town. Even fitted pants came in rage during this period. So, half of the population was wearing baggy and flared pants while the other half was crazy about fitted jeans and denim.  

How To Dress 90s:

This was the time when several local and high-end brands came in with new designs every month to embrace 90s hip hop fashion. 

But if you are a millennium kid and you haven’t gotten the chance to follow the 90s fashion until now, here are some basic points that will help you recreate the magic of 90s hip hop fashion even in 2020. 

1. Flared pants/jeans

Likewise, you can still wear flared denim/pants for a casual lunch or even for a night club. To style these jeans, choose a crop top with a baggy jacket. You can also style your crop top with a long scarf draped in a quirky manner. Team it up with high heeled wedges or boots. For men, you can also team it up with a crisp white shirt (fitted or loose). 

2. Long baggy and oversized coats/jackets

This is another trendy attire that is suitable for both men and women. Generally, females are seen teaming up either their brother’s or boyfriend’s long overcoat or jacket for that typical baggy look.

In the case of men, you can just go hopping around your cozy sweatshirt. 

3. Chokers
