Twenty years later, 'optimum cultural retrospection' has passed, and the fashions of the nineties are now officially vintage. Fear not, girlies, I'm not going to start preaching you into wearing Doc Martens, skater-girl-style clothing complete with gothic makeup or hundreds of weird hair clips - believe it or not, its easier than you think to incorporate the best of the 90's into your wardrobe, you probably already are without even realising it . . .
1. Printed Dresses - Not so much Gwen Stafani in her No Doubt years, more chic tailoring and cleverly designed, flattering prints from Diane Von Furstenberg (DVF Dot Print Wrap Dress £220). Like the Supers of the nineties, I'm going crazy for throw-on print dresses. 2. Silk Trousers - Team these silk D&G printed trousers (£100) with a white t-shirt, cropped jacket and some simple sandals and you're doing the original 90210, but better. 3. Shorts Suit - A little but clueless, a little bit Carol Smillie on daytime TV, matching pastel suits are huge this summer. I adore this Topshop version. 4. Leather Jackets - Admittedly, leather jackets didn't really go anywhere. This Moschino version is reduced in the .... sale from £399 to £199, wear it over a black bodycon dress for supermodel glamour. 5. Ankle Boots - Avoid smelling like teen spirit & pair these amazing Chloe boots with florals, rather than Dr Martens with flannel. . .

Glad to read that 90s fashion,etc is now considered retro - it's the only decade I'm old enough to reminisce about!
