Check out the “Dr. Who” crew at the San Diego Comic Con. If I had amnesia, woke up 20 years later and saw this picture, I’d swear it was still 1992.

Its official: from the street styles of our favorite “hipster” celebs to the runways (check out the baggy looks at Celine, Miu Miu’s Cher Horowitz-inspired ensembles and the grunge-y/prim vibe at Carven), the ‘90s are officially back.
As a ‘90s teen, I look fondly upon this resurgence, because this was the decade when I had my sartorial awakening. (My mom, who remembers our shopping fights, would probably say I was a downright pain in the ass.)
Here’s what I’m looking forward to:
- Parted-down-the-middle mussy hair (Have gotten on this train right after finally getting my ombre makeover!). Aside from ensuring hair is healthy and well-conditioned, just comb and leave alone.
- Graphic tees and band shirts! I’m no longer sloppy; I’m on-trend.
- Funky eyewear. Aviators, cat’s eyes, horn-rimmed, wayferers and John Lennon tinted granny glasses, oh my!
- Boots and ratty sneakers.
- More reason to arm and neck party.
- Matte make up and dark lips.
- Just that all-over layered, imperfect, slightly disheveled vibe. I’m tired of glossy, well-styled perfection!
Alas, the ‘90s was not all MTV Alternative Nation and My So-Called Life coolness. Some of the trends I’m not too excited about:
- Baby barrettes and those sunflower hair clips everybody wore in 1994.
- Crop-tops (known as “hanging” tees in high school). They’re already back, boohoo.
- Badly-fitted pants. Yeah I know, boyfriend jeans are so comfy, but I don’t want to remember how I used to swan around in giant pants, fabric puddling over the ankles.
- Birkenstocks with socks.
- Heroin chic.
- Chokers. Specifically, those fake henna tattoo ones.
