90’s Hair is all that: Deep side parts, side bangs, and volume galore! 90’s hairstyle is back and making waves across the runways and into street style for the biggest change to hair that we have seen in a long time. Although the side part specifically has been knocked by Gen Z as “millennial” and “dated”, what’s old is new again as we start to see more swoopy side bangs and parts than ever.

If you still love the burst of color, you can definitely pair chromatic your outfit with a neon bag, nails, or even makeup and shoes in order to add some visual interest to your attire.

90’s Makeup: This can really be whatever 90’s makeup means to you, but many of the trends “IT” celebrities of the time used to rock, are back in a fresh new way (minus the pencil thin eyebrows, but if that’s your thing go for it). The most notable changes are matte makeup, brown tones, and going much heavier on the eyeliner.
