Love The '90s? The Best Throwback Fashion Pieces On POPSUGAR's October Wishlist

01/10/2019 - 08:01 AM

Fashion's romance with nostalgia [1] continues with POPSUGAR's must have pieces for October. This month, our editors are spotlighting throwback fashion with our top picks from the '70s, '80s, and '90s that are still defining the most popular trends of 2019.

First off, we can't get enough of a throwback graphic t-shirt. Whether with our favourite '90s boy band on the front, an edgy band tee from the '70s, or a supercute Hello Kitty t-shirt that reminds us of sweet moments in primary school, this easy fashion piece quickly adds major personality to any outfit. We (and everyone else) are collecting designer baguette bags, especially logo-printed pieces [2] from Louis Vuitton and Fendi. Right now we're in a peak throwback fashion moment, so grab a used vintage luxury mini bag under £200 from Vestiaire Collective [3] or Ebay, before the best ones are all gone.

Another essential from our team is a classic pair of white trainers for the Autumn months. We're especially eyeing the simple '90s designs from Superga and Keds that are always in style. If you're looking for footwear with a bit more edge, we've got some gorgeous jewelled snakeskin boots that will have you feeling like a '90s pop star. Read ahead for everything team POPSUGAR is loving this October, and keep the change ya filthy animal!

Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires

"While all the influencers are attending fashion week with the elevated 2019 version of this bag (aka the Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette), I'm still lusting after the original. Lusting hard. The Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires [5] (£375) was first released in 1992, and ugh, it's perfection. I'll also be buying the matching Bandoulière Monogram Strap [6] (£315) because I don't care what Marilyn Monroe says — options are a girl's best friend." — Ange Law, assistant editor

Noisy May Led Zepplin Graphic Band T-Shirt

"Led Zeppelin is basically the music of my childhood. I'm a baby of a '70s hippie, so of course I have to rep one of the most iconic rock bands of all time with this Noisy May Led Zepplin Graphic Band T-Shirt [7] (£18)." — Kara Kia, assistant editor

Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth

"I wanted a pair of these Dr. Martens 1460 Smooth [8] (£139) when I was 11 and I still want a pair of them at 33. They still look just as cool as they did when I was a kid.I love that they're both utilitarian and fashionable, and can be worn with everything from skinny jeans to a short dress with black tights." — Sophia Panych, content director

Converse x Hello Kitty White Back Print Long Sleeve T-shirt

"Hello Kitty was my first love. When I found out that Converse was doing a Hello Kitty collection, I had the entire line on my wish list within a matter of minutes. This Converse x Hello Kitty White Back Print Long Sleeve T-shirt [9] (£17.50, originally £35) is perfect for the cooler months and looks adorable with a simple pair of mom jeans." — Tori Crowther, assistant editor

Asos Design Empire Embellished Western Boots in Pink Snake

"In my 6th Form days, I owned a pair of purple snakeskin ankle boots with a mid heel that I was convinced transformed me from student to popstar-in-the-making. I wore them until the soles wore out (probably from dancing to Steps too often). These more modern Asos Design Empire Embellished Western Boots in Pink Snake [10] (£45) feel a bit more up to date, but the jewelled decoration still appeals to my inner 17-year-old." — Gemma Cartwright, senior editor

Christian Dior Cloth Handbag

"Mini sized anything makes me absolutely mental. I love that you can now get genuine designer baguette bags from the '90s, like this Christian Dior Cloth Handbag [11] (£202), while supporting fashion's move towards upcycling." — KK

Asos Design Curve Super Fluffy Crop Jumper

"I am obsessed with all of the fleece, fluffy, and teddy winter clothes coming through this year, and this lilac Asos Design Curve Super Fluffy Crop Jumper [12] (£26) reminds me fuzzy blue cropped knit Liv Tyler [13] wears in Empire Records. Needless to say, I want it." — AL

estherdobsonart 18K Gold Dipped Real Leaf Earrings

"My mum had a necklace made from a leaf skeleton dipped in gold that came out for all big occasions in the '90s. I was obsessed with it — in my head it was worth thousands of pounds, so imagine my surprise to find that similar styles are under £30. This time around, I'll be opting for these estherdobsonart 18K Gold Dipped Real Leaf Earrings [14] (£22): if they're good enough for Meghan, they're good enough for me!" — GC

The North Face Women's 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

"Growing up in New York state, every single person in my school had one of these The North Face Women's 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket [15] (£230) — except for me. Now that they're back in style, I'm finally going to buy myself one. I like that I can wear it to and from the gym but also pair it with jeans and either trainers or black ankle boots." — SP

Keds Champion Core Trainers

"These Keds Champion Core Trainers [16] (£35) are my favourite trainers of all time. They have this gorgeous slim designer which gained them cult status in the '90s, plus the flexible canvas fabric is so comfy." — KK

White Take That T-Shirt

"I'm pretty sure I had this exact White Take That T-Shirt [17] (£20) when I was a tween (I definitely had the poster on my wall) so I can think of no better reason to wear it again now, though perhaps not with the exact same Mad House jeans and Caterpillar boots I probably wore back then." — GC

Zara Knit Sweater with Ruffle Trims

"This Zara Knit Sweater with Ruffle Trims [18] (£30) makes me think of jumpers I wore when I was a little kid in the late '80s/early '90s and I can't wait to relive my childhood wearing this — maybe minus the acid wash jeans and stirrup leggings, though." — SP

Liars & Lovers Multi Sequin Hair Scrunchie

"What could be more nostalgic than a sequin scrunchie? Nothing, that's what. Accessorise a high ponytail with this Liars & Lovers Multi Sequin Hair Scrunchie [19] (£6) and it will flash you straight back to being at the school disco." — TC

Disney License Cruella De Vil PJ Short Set

"101 Dalmatians was the first ever film I went to see at the cinema aged 3, and I'm still totally in love with it. These Disney License Cruella De Vil PJ Short Set [20] (£16) are straight into my nostalgic shopping basket and you can bet I'll wear them both in bed and out and about." — TC

Superga 2790 Linea Up Down White Trainers

"When I was a kid, in the peak of the Spice Girls era, my sister had a pair of black platform shoes that I was insanely jealous of. In 2019, now an adult, I bought myself a pair of these Superga 2790 Linea Up Down White Trainers [21] (£60) and feel like I'm living out a childhood dream every time I wear them." — AL
