Now I have a question...

tigeranneWhy does the entire Internet seem to think that the 90s ended in 1992?
If you google "90s fashion," all you get is images of stuff that carried over from the 80s, and disappeared quickly as grunge took over casual fashion. It's like no one remembers the last 7 years of the decade, for some reason.
When I think of 90s fashion, the first thing that comes to mind is earth colours and muted palettes. Olive green, grey, brown, beige, baby blue, off-white and mustard yellow. Orange actually being the new black, for a periode between 93-95. Pink being outlawed, along with belts. Dark denim. Extremely fine-wale cordury. Un-bleached linen. Low-rise, bootcut jeans. Button fly or laces instead of zippers. Plaid flannel shirts. Striped, rib-knit henleys and t-shirts. Spaghetti strap tops. Biker and combat boots. Floral button-down dresses worn with big shoes. Thin, cropped cardigans. Layered polo-shirts. Bucket hats. Everyone cutting their hair in layered styles like Jennifer Aniston, and/or dyeing it red like Claire Danes.
Anyone else remember this?

Guys, they don't wash off. In 10 years time, when the next generation makes a rebellion, having plain, untattooed skin is probably going to be a beauty ideal.
Pants are now tied with a belt around the top of the thighs, with the underwear proudly displayed in full. I wonder what the next stage will be. Knees?
