11 90s films to get outfit ideas from

There's no denying that the '90s was a real golden age for movies. I can only talk for myself, but as a teenager during that time, there were quite a few films that had an impact on me. Of course, a lot to do with that is whether Leonardo di Caprio was starring, but there was also another reason why I still love these films today: the fashion. While Clueless is always the most often referred to there are so many other movies that should be celebrated too.

Right now, thanks to our continuing obsession with nostalgia and the '90s being a major trend for spring/summer 2020 (not to mention our love of '80s and '70s fashion), I'm turning to those classic movies more and more for wardrobe inspiration. Keep scrolling for the 11 films I'm re-watching to help get dressed right now.

The Craft

Were you even a teenage girl in the '90s if you didn't do "light as a feather, stiff as a board" with your mates at a sleepover? The Craft is one of those films that will remain as one of my favourites of all time. While levitation attempts might have been a dud, the goth-meets-school-girl is one I will always try to replicate. Cardigans worn over white shirts is what I'm loving here. 

10 Things I Hate About You

Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You was so refreshing. She didn't try to be popular—she didn't care. Her outfits were a mix of hoodies, long-sleeved T-shirts and combat trousers. A look I happily wear today. 

Cruel Intentions

Sarah Michelle Gellar's day job might have meant wearing leather to fight off vampires (Buffy forever), she also starred in one of the coolest films during that era: Cruel Intentions. As the manipulative Kathryn, she was all about revealing slips and figure-hugging dresses. Sassy. 

 

Now and Then

I almost forgot about this film, but how could I? While Now and Then film was set in the '90s, there are flashbacks to the '70s. Christina Ricci's character Roberta was the tomboy and I loved her for it. No frilly dresses, but T-shirts and flared jeans.

Forrest Gump

There's is no denying that when Jenny gets older (played by the incomparable Robin Wright), she had an incredible wardrobe.
