Nineties pop icon, 46, hasn’t aged a day in 25 years since huge hit – and going viral on TikTok
NINETIES and noughties trends especially have become a hit with Gen Z - most likely because they didn’t wear them the first time round. Here, Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale gives the rundown of some of the trends that have made a comeback that we wish did not.
Disc belts
"A hit with celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Blake Lively, the belt itself did nothing that a belt should actually do - it was a mere fashion statement, not a piece to actually hold anything up.
"And it seems it’s not just me who is enraged by its return, with many taking to TikTok to give their views, saying: 'Oh no not the disc belt! I don’t think I have the energy for it a 2nd time around' - I feel you."
Jelly shoes
"After not being seen on shelves for decades, they’ve made a reappearance and this time they’re not just for kids.
"Coming in a range of colourful patterns, you can get them all over the high street in either flat or heeled versions.
"Not only will you look very childish wearing such shoes, but people will also need to learn that they aren’t the comfiest - blister plasters will come in handy."
Pedal pushers
"The cropped knee-grazing trouser were all the rage in the 1990s and 2000s, but this time the model fash pack are all over them - with both Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski wearing them out recently.
"The original IT girls, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot helped make the trousers - also called Capri pants - look effortlessly cool and glam.
"Somehow this time round they don’t seem to be having that same effect."
