The 90s: Grunge and Denim 👖

The 90s were a time of grunge and alternative culture. Flannel shirts, oversized denim jackets, and combat boots were staples of the grunge wardrobe. The hip-hop culture also gained momentum in the 90s, with baggy pants, bomber jackets, and snapback hats becoming popular.

The most iconic denim trend of the 90s was the denim-on-denim look, also known as the Canadian tuxedo. Celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears were famous for rocking this trend.
