What To Wear To A 90s Fancy Dress Party

Alright party people! So, you've been invited to a 90s fancy dress party? Awesome! Get ready to unleash your inner Spice Girl or grunge rocker. But, uh oh, what exactly are you going to wear?

Let's Get Jiggy With It: 90s Outfit Ideas

Fear not! Dressing for a 90s bash is easier than remembering the Macarena (and arguably more fun). Think bright colors, bold patterns, and a healthy dose of "I don't care what anyone thinks" attitude.

Girl Power!

For the ladies, channeling your inner Spice Girl is always a winner. Whether you're Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger or Posh, find your fit! Think mini skirts, platform shoes, and a whole lot of girl power attitude.

Or, if you’re feeling more laid-back, grab your favorite ripped jeans, a baby tee, and a flannel shirt tied around your waist. Hello grunge queen!

Don't forget the accessories! Chokers, scrunchies, and butterfly clips are your best friends here. Think your outfit is missing that special "somethin' somethin'?" Add another scrunchie!

Boy Bands and Bad Boys

Guys, the 90s offered plenty of iconic looks for you too. Embrace the boy band era with baggy jeans, a tucked-in tee, and a perfectly coiffed hairstyle (gel is your friend!).

Alternatively, go grunge with ripped jeans, a band tee (Nirvana or Pearl Jam, anyone?), and a beanie. Smells like teen spirit indeed.

Want something a bit more…out there? Consider the “Saved by the Bell” look: brightly colored geometric patterns, high-top sneakers, and a confident swagger.

The Must-Have 90s Accessory: Attitude

No 90s outfit is complete without the right attitude. This is all about owning your look and having fun. Don't be afraid to be a little silly or over the top!

Whether you're rocking a full-on Britney Spears schoolgirl outfit or a head-to-toe neon tracksuit, wear it with confidence. Because let's be real, the 90s were all about self-expression.

And most importantly, remember to bring your best 90s dance moves. Get ready to do the running man!

Where to Find Your 90s Threads

The good news is that 90s fashion is back (sort of!). Thrift stores are your secret weapon here. You'll be amazed at the treasures you can unearth for a fraction of the price.

Alternatively, raid your parents' attic! You might just stumble upon some vintage gems that will make you the envy of the party.

Online retailers are also a great option, especially for specific items like chokers or platform shoes. Just be sure to check the sizing before you buy!

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

Ultimately, the most important thing is to have fun and embrace the spirit of the 90s. Don't stress too much about getting every detail perfect.

A simple outfit with a few key accessories can be just as effective as a meticulously recreated Courtney Love look. It's about celebrating a decade of bold fashion and iconic pop culture.

So, dust off your dancing shoes, grab your favorite scrunchie, and get ready to party like it's 1999! You go, Glen Coco!
