Autumn attire from '90s romcoms

Ahh the nineties. This golden decade not only gave us the best romantic comedies, but also defined our wardrobe to this day. Waving goodbye to the eighties’ sharp shoulders and baggy trousers, welcoming platform shoes, dress shorts and crop tops. Discover down below how fashion icons on the ‘90s silver screen still influence today’s autumn attire.

Clueless

“Do you prefer fashion victim or ensembly challenged?” Cher might’ve been clueless when it came to love, but picking out her daily spot-on outfit came naturally to her. The iconic yellow plaid separates have stood the test of time: Iggy Azalea is shining bright in this tartan school uniform in her music video Fancy.

Notting Hill

"I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." Anna, looking into Hugh Grant’s droopy eyes, we totally feel you. We certainly hope to look as flawless as you do, bumping into the love of your life. The perfect white t-shirt tucked into a pair of black trousers, a boxy leather jacket, a pair of cat-eye sunglasses and – of course – her signature beret. This attire still feels relevant today.

Pretty Woman

“Welcome to Hollywood! What’s your dream?” The charming, down-on-her-luck prostitute Vivian meets Prince Charming who sweeps her of her cynical feet, tucked into her knee-high boots. The evergreen before-and-after, transformational story never bores. Oh how we love her radiant confidence and sassy lingerie. Spoiler alert: she rescues him right back.

You've Got Mail

“I wanted it to be you so badly.” Running an independent bookstore, Kathleen tends to dress a little bit conservatively. Make no mistake, she’s no Plain Jane. With her khaki slacks and white T-shirt, she’s rocking the New York look while falling madly in love with her pen pal. Even more than 20 years later, her minimal looks and classic aesthetics still rule today’s wardrobe.
