Female fashion in the 1990s is often remembered for its grunge-inspired style. This was a time when many young women rebelled against traditional femininity, opting instead for a more relaxed and tomboyish look.
Plaid flannel shirts, ripped jeans, and Doc Martens were all popular items in a 90s grunge wardrobe. Other iconic 90s styles include slip dresses (worn over t-shirts), crop tops, and tracksuits.
While the grunge look dominated female fashion in the early 1990s, by the mid-90s there was also a strong influence from hip hop culture. This is evident in the popularity of oversized sweatshirts, basketball jerseys, and baseball caps worn backwards.
Whatever their style, most women in the 1990s favored comfort over fashion. This was a decade before athleisure became popular, so women simply wore what they felt comfortable in – whether that was grunge-inspired clothing or more casual sportswear.
