After the explosion of outrageous trends throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s, ‘90s saw a shift toward minimalism, and who can forget, GRUNGE – ah yes, Kurt Cobain-esque, unkempt hair, flannel, ripped jeans, combat boots, oversized sweaters, Doc Martens, Soundgarden, Nirvana, doesn’t it just scream nostalgia!
While some trends came and went, others had a far deeper impact on contemporary fashion. Fashion jewelry was no exception.
CHOKERS
Yes, chokers. Chokers were hot in the ‘90s. Although the trend has come a long way and you have way more options today than you did in the ‘90s, there is no denying that ‘90s gave this Victorian-era style the push into modernity.
BRACELETS
Bracelets were the charm of nineties’ fashion. From punk-inspired to bondage-inspired fashion bracelets to ID bracelets, everybody had a favorite and we all loved it!
MOOD RINGS
Here is an old trend that is thoroughly ‘90s’. Mood rings contain liquid crystal that reacts to the changes in skin temperature to change its color. Different colors indicate different moods and hence the name. The idea sounds as ‘90s’ as it can get! Although synonymous with 90s fashion, mood rings were not created in the ‘90s. In fact, it was a trend carried on from the ‘70s. But well, the ‘90s are notorious for an obsession with ‘70s pop culture.
ANKLETS
Anklets are way more popular in the orient, so to speak, than in the rest of the world. In the US, the trend began in the 1930s but didn’t quite become the rage it did in the nineties. Last we heard, anklets were making a comeback in more sophisticated and glamorous avatars (read fine jewelry).
TOE RINGS
Toe rings, like anklets, are oriental in origin. Think royalty of the past, important figures too glamorous to not adorn their feet. While the trend picked up steam in the nineties, we vote it the least likely to make a comeback, unless paired with anklets.
