‘90s fashion is back in full swing! Witness the return of the plaid mini skirt, the denim overalls, the ridiculously cropped top, and a whole lot more iconic pieces from this era.
Yes, plenty of our ‘90s fashion is a bit too skin-baring for women who like more conservative or relaxed fit clothing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t jump on the ‘90s bandwagon, right? All you have to do is to create your own conservative spin on this old-school trend. Read on below for more inspiration!
- Plaid is Rad

One of the patterns that were prevalent in the '90s fashion scene was plaid. It's comfortable, casual, and flexible—you can wear it as an outer layer or as a button-down top, and it works like a charm.
A plaid top is also an excellent piece to work with if you're going for a conservative outfit. Most ‘90s-inspired outfits feature a long-sleeved plaid button-down, so you’ll definitely be on trend.

If you want to go casual and grunge, layer your plaid top with another shirt underneath. Make sure to keep it unbuttoned for that baggy, effortless, easy-breezy look.
To make your outfit a little bit dressier, keep your plaid top buttoned and pair it with some classic trousers that you can rock from office hours to after hours.
- Classically Denim

It doesn’t matter what the era is—denim just never seems to go out of style. It’s an extremely versatile trend that transcends time. In fact, one of the most famous fashion statements during the ‘90s was denim on denim, and fashionistas everywhere were wearing them from morning ‘til night.
To go for a classier and more updated look, why not switch it up with some long, denim skirts? Sophisticated, trendy, and totally stress-free, this look adds a splash of personality to your city chic outfit.

While loose fitted jeans made from denim are also in style today, you can always choose to go down the more feminine and refined route with a denim skirt.
In true ‘90s fashion, you can pair your denim skirt with a loose-fitting crop top, or with a simple button-down top for a relaxed, semi-formal look. Whatever you choose, a denim skirt paired with a nice top makes for cute, conservative clothes that ooze vitality and glamour everywhere you go.

There were many prevalent styles during the 1990s, and all of them shared a slice of the fame pie. One such trend was the edgier style of Goth. All-black ensembles became a common thing, whether they’re for looking fierce and fab or for adding a hint of elegance and sophistication to any look.
From black modest dresses to black loose fitting tops, there are so many gothic pieces to choose from. Since black is such a staple colour to have in a wardrobe, you can easily channel your inner Goth by selecting pieces from INNERMOD!

Nothing says trendy modest clothing than silky silhouettes that flatter at every angle.
