From glam to grunge!
Fashion in the 1990s was defined by a return to minimalism. In contrast to the extremely flashy trends of the 1980s, the popularity of alternative rock music helped bring the simple, unkempt grunge look to the mainstream. But it wasn’t just acid-wash jeans, hoodies, and plaid shirts— 90s fashion had plenty of other trends and styles— from baggy jeans to sporty neon color tracksuits; classic leather jackets, and everything in between.
