90s Nostalgia: Fashion Inspiration From "Hindsight"

By Katherine Hupp on February 26, 2015

“Hindsight” is a new show on VH1 that takes viewers back to the 90s, which allows for viewers to remember the fads of the past. The show follows the story of Becca, who miraculously gets transported to the past and is given the opportunity to relive her mid-20s.

It’s a great new show full of nostalgia for the 90s, a time when cell phones and the internet didn’t exist. One of the first things which Becca noticed when she woke up in the 90s were her old clothes. “Hindsight” is full of 90s fashion which can be used as fashion inspiration for modern styles with a twist from the past.

Doc Martens

A staple boot of the 90s, Doc Martens were a shoe paired with any clothing at the time. They coincided with the grunge fashion and were paired frequently with flannels.

Nowadays, the color options for the boots are endless, which allows for the boots to be worn year round. From pastels to classic black, the boots are a timeless classic and pair well with jeans, leggings and tights.

The plastic necklaces children and young adults wore in the 90s have been upgraded to high-fashion this spring. Choker necklaces are back and better than ever.

No longer plastic bands that give the appearance of neck tattoos, chokers are statement pieces which pair well with dressy outfits. They have undergone a makeover and stand out especially when paired with understated clothing.

Knee-High Socks

Socks have become an accessory in recent years, specifically boot socks. Imagine wearing those same boot socks, but ditching the boots, and you have knee-high socks.

Knee-high socks are super cute when paired with circle skirts and sweaters in the winter. They can also be worn with dresses and make for a unique look when paired with high waisted shorts.

Oversized Flannels

Oversized flannel was another staple of the 90s and was associated with the grunge fashion of the time.

Oversized flannels can be worn with high waisted shorts in the winter, and wrapped around those shorts in the spring and summer. Now, flannel is back in style and it is really comfy too!

Fashion goes through cycles in which past fashion trends are recycled and renewed to fit modern sensibilities. “Hindsight” is a great TV show to watch for both fashion inspiration and a weekly, nostalgic reminder of what life was like in the 90s!
