By

We've got some cute outfits based on your favourite female star from the 1990s.

Trust us, we're not about to go on one of those annoying "I was born in the wrong decade" spiels, but we have to admit that the ’90s was a pretty stellar era for music.

If you're like us, we reckon that your daily playlist features the likes of Fiona Apple, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and other ’90s legends. So, in honour of these iconic ladies, we scoured the web for some of the spiffiest outfits that match their musical vibes. Peep our list of recommendations below. 

 

Follow the number guide in above image. 

1. If you like Fiona Apple or Mazzy Star... then we suggest keeping a reliable pair of lace-up boots and minimal jewellery close by. Whether you're a big fan of Fiona Apple's introspective songwriting or Hope Sandoval's haunting vocals, there's no harm in sporting some pieces inspired by the two musos. Below, we've jotted down a couple of essentials that would fit right at home in any fan's wardrobe. 

Midsummer Star – Tarot Locket Necklace in Gold. ($200)

ROC Boots – CADET Boots in Black Distress. ($280)

Par-moi – Belle Singlet. ($189)

Lioness – Hamptons Mini Skirt in Onyx. ($59)

Tree of Life – Elysium Top. ($60)

 

2. If you like Salt-N-Pepa or Aaliyah... We reckon that you're big fans of baggy jeans, sport jerseys and practically anything that features a primary colour scheme. The late RnB star and the powerhouse hip hop group were known for their penchant for streetwear, which is why we plucked some rad-looking wares down below. 

RIXX – Cap in Red/White. ($45)

Tild – 13 T-Tank. ($85)

AFENDS – Bella Denim Wide Leg Baggy Jean in Authentic Blue. ($150)

Neovision – Spirit Number V Neck Jersey in Pink. ($80)

NAJO – La Dolce Vita Hoop Earrings in Gold. ($199)

 

3. If you like Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey... There are arguably no other pop divas who offer the same kind of impressive vocals as these two – OK, Adele and Beyoncé are up there, but come on! Chuck on "I Will Always Love You" or "Fantasy" just to be reminded of their massive talent. Both singers are known for their casual-chic affinity for jeans and leather jackets as well as super-glam gowns that would make Elizabeth Taylor blush, so check out our picks below. 

Bronze Snake – Jorja Bomber Jacket in Charcoal Brown. ($139)

Dyspnea – Ècharpe Scarf in Rose. ($29)

VRG GRL – Isle of Paradise Maxi Dress in Black. ($105)

Lucy and Yak – Straight Leg Denim Jeans in Light Blue. ($115)

EL&RO – Caria Butterfly Necklace in Silver. ($109)

 

4. If you like Björk or Sinead O'Connor... You might not consider these two musos as being all that similar at first glance, but remember that these two were not only avant-garde trailblazers in the alternative genre but also outspoken activists (even if it hurt their careers). If you fancy dressing up in duds inspired by the musicians, spy our list of picks below. 

alix higgins – Top in Lilac Grey. ($209)

CFIERCE – Digi-Dragon Bag in Black. ($196)

WAH-WAH  LSD-25 Sweatpants. ($275)

5. If you like Britney Spears or The Spice Girls... We'll tell you what we really, really want: adorable fits that look like they belong on the front cover of a glossy ’90s teen magazine. Both Britney and each member of The Spice Girls represent the exact type of hyper-girly garms that we'll always be nostalgic for, so get a load of our choices just below. 

Pit Viper – The Moontower Admirer Shades. ($55)

Dangerfield – Teddy Cross Body Bag in Pink. ($35)

Emma Mulholland on Holiday – Heart Tank Top in Pink/Red. ($100)
