Denim tends to never get out of trend. According to vivamanchester.co.uk, denim has become a new smart dress code at work, as well as other, casual places, but, here, we are talking about jackets. The patchy, oversized denim jackets are back in town and we have seen several singers and celebrities wearing these 90s jackets in music videos or casual outwear.

Patches on denim jackets and denim pants were a cool thing, especially since it was believed to be a famous way of expressing a person’s personality. But, with the beginning of the new century, this trend seemed to be lost in the cloud, however, this trend is now coming back.

2. High Waist Pants

The 90s were literally the era of high-waist lovers and new fashion gurus make sure that the new decade also becomes an era for high-waist pants. The contemporary high-waist jeans have had some major modifications over the years. Add-ons with several buttons in the place of the zipper, these jeans are perfect for wearing anytime and anywhere.

3. Bum Bags

With the latest upgrade, this 90s fashion really looks appealing on the waist.

4. Chain Belts

If you are a millennial then you might remember the days when we used to wear chain belts on a casual dress day at school or at someone’s party – and they are even cooler with the denim jeans. Of course, not all people are fans of this accessory trend, but, they were a huge hit in the 90s and they are probably going to be a hit trend in 2024 as well. Chain belts can easily be combined with ripped jeans, one-piece (LBD), or even the latest pinstripes pants.

5. Velvet

Some major Hollywood celebrities have been spotted wearing velvet dresses and blazers, and needless to say, they rocked the style flawlessly.

6. Chunky Trainers

Back in that era, chunky trainers were used to be called “ugly” or “dad” trainers.

Colorful chunky trainers are being offered by all the big footwear brands and celebrities such as Kendal Jenner and Bella Hadid have been seen killing this retro style.

7. Scrunchies
