Whether you lived it the first time round, or reference the decade subconsciously via your square-toed footwear and minimal leather blazers, the ’90s continues to bear stylish fruit. And the latest item of clothing to ripen in front of our eyes? ’90s tops.
Kate Moss’s muscle tees, Jennifer Lopez’s boob tubes, Amber Valletta’s tailored shirts – ’90s tops come in many guises, but they share a few vital stats. The majority of styles are quite fitted, and they often become the focal point of an outfit. This might sound antithetical to what you know about the decade’s approach to dress – compared to what came before, the ’90s were altogether more pared-back and quiet. But on the red carpets, celebrities’ top halves told another story: one of fun and fabulousness. Of course, it was era of “jeans and a nice top”, a style mantra that still resonates to this day.
From strappy tops with a whisper of lace and adjustable straps, to long-sleeved bodysuits, these five ’90s tops are worth resurrecting.
