Why did fashion in the '90s mean an addiction to ANYTHING with a smiley face on it? Literally anything. These 90s outfits we're all guilty of wearing...
1. Tartan ruffle skirts
And sometimes, they even came with a matching tie. Cool.
2. Flares
Bonus points if they had diamantes on them, too...
3. Dolphin jewellery
Why? No idea.
4. Boob tubes
Shiny, pink and preferably worn with hip-hugger cargo trousers.
5. Hip-huggers
Obviously worn with the aforementioned boob tube.
6. Jumpers or shirts tied round the waist
Just in case you got cold. But you never did.
7. Kickers
Anyone who was anyone wore these bad boys to school - now so 'retro', they cost a stonking £75.
8. Popper joggers
Easy to take off AND great to look at. What's not to love?
9. Studded belts
And studded chokers, studded headbands and studded ANYTHING YOU COULD FIND.
10. Gap hoodies
About four sizes too big.
11. Platform trainers
We blame this one entirely on the Spice Girls.
12. Denim everything
Preferably in sleeveless jacket form.
13. Butterfly clips
Preferably in a pastel shade and covered in glitter.
14. Sarongs as skirts
Because skirts as skirts is just boring.
15. Mood rings
Because how else would you know how you were feeling?
16. Shag bands
There were basically NO secrets.
17. Baggy jeans
Not really boyfriend, not really girlfriend, just sorta fit-less.
18. Anything from Tammy Girl
Now called HASHTAG Tammy Girl, and still full of awesome slogan T-shirts.
19. Handkerchief tops
With hip-huggers. Natch.
20. Ying and yang jewellery
Preferably in matching BFF form.
21. Cargo trousers
If you still had room in your wardrobe among all of the baggy jeans, bellbottoms and jogging bottoms.
22. Any jewellery with smiley faces
Seriously, anything.
23. Velvet
And bell sleeves
