Today the pants that are in fashion literally squeeze our legs and make them hurt. It would be a heaven if we can wear pants that are extremely comfortable and can still be called fashionable. 90’s fashion permits one to be fashionable yet be comfortable in their pants because of the trendy cargo pants, wide-legged pants and mom jeans.

Visors are accessories that protect our eyes from the sun. but the 90’s trend of wearing visors upside down defeats its whole purpose.

Beehive hairdos might have been considered classic by the 90’s standard but in present times, it looks simply funny. Moreover, carrying such a huge hairdo on one’s head is very inconvenient.

If there ever existed an innerwear that was ridiculous, it is bullet bras. Wearing bullet bras is like wearing inverted ice cream cones on one’s chest and the trend better stays in the 90’s.
