We might scoff at the ridiculous style of the 90's, but in truth, are we really all that different today? Here are 12 reasons that we as college students are still living in the 90's.
1. We're still wearing high-top converse.
The 90's:
Today:
Those white high-tops you slide on every morning? Those have actually been popular since the late 80’s. Back then, they were called Chuck Taylor's.
2. The hair scrunchie and high-ponytail sorority trend looks just like a 90's Barbie doll.
The 90's:
Today:
Minus the outfit.
3. Birkenstocks have been a thing for forever.
The 90's:
Today:
4. Crop tops were taken very, very seriously in the 90’s.
The 90's:
Today:
What was once a casual everyday look is now Coachella vogue!
5. In the 90’s, “mom” jeans were just called high-rises.
The 90's:
Today:
Once again, from casual to couture!
The 90's:
Today:
7. And the games on our phones, like Flappy Bird or Candy Crush?
The 90's:
Today:
They’re strikingly similar to these old Atari and arcade games, straight out of the early 90’s.
8. Boy bands never die.
The 90's:
Today:
Okay, so this one goes way back before the 90’s to like the Beatles era, but still, the popularity of One Direction and 5SOS today looks conspicuously like the same passion we once had for NSync and the Backstreet Boys.
9. Plaid, plaid, and more plaid.
The 90's:
Today:
Seriously, it’s hard to find a 90’s picture where somebody isn’t wearing plaid of some kind, and now the signature flannel is a staple of outfits from the everyday to the grunge-fashionable.
10. Chokers? Again?
The 90's:
Major jewelry stores are presenting chokers like some big, new style icon, but they’re actually just making a surprise comeback.
11. And those “Chubbies” shorts?
The 90's:
Today:
12. The leggings with fuzzy socks trend looks suspiciously similar to leg warmers.
The 90's:
Today:
The warmth and comfort of the legging is simply too great to let go of.
No matter how you feel about it, it’s hard to deny that in some ways, the 1990s never died.
