Were the 90s the worst decade for fashion?

I hope there's more than nothing, but nah. Don't mind it too much.

How about you post the pics instead? Also no not at all, 60s and 70s was much much worse.
I actually like 90s style.
Just admit you were wrong and that's why you want the thread closed.
I bet your sat there in your Ellesse shell suit and rebook classics

As someone who was a teenager in the nineties, unequivocally yes. Oversized sweaters with ugly prints, garish tracksuits, mom pants, dungarees, everything was godawful and unflattering, and to this day I envy younger generations. The only saving grace was the boob tube and the thongs that came in vogue at the end of it.
Today's fashion isn't really good if you have a few extra pounds.
Skinny jeans, tattoo sleeves,fake tans, tight huging shirts, jeans that's are torn to fuck and short shorts.
At least the 90s had comfortable clothing and people were less body conscious.

It's being repeated right now. 80s out, 90s in. Seen loads of fashion articles about 90s style ressurection.
You know, I thought about that moments after I posted, but then I remembered: Stranger Things, an 80s-fest, is insanely popular and still going strong. But that 90s inspired Netflix show Everything Sucks got cancelled after 1 season.
That says it all. The 90s sucked, nobody wants to look at that ghastly fashion.
(90s cinema was awesome though, especially 1999 The Greatest Year In Cinema)
Sick, time to bust out my Bart Simpson Butterfingers shirt and pump sneakers again!
I too, lament the fact that I couldn't witness a man's bulge through his skinny jeans during this period of gross uncouthness
Spread your feet, pac.
Nah, I don't wanna.
Spread your feet, man. People gotta see the merchandise.
Ugh, fine.
Sadly the 90s are also when consumerism in fashion kicked into high gear. And a lot of it is due to hip-hop and r&b music becoming more popular. Streetwear et al.
I guess we have to thank Run DMC for that who started it all with Adidas.
Lo-Lifes, polo is were it blew the hell up in the late 80's into the 90'sSpread your feet, pac.

The 90's is back actually. I've seen more, and more kids dress like they walked off the set of Airheads.
Not at all. 90s fashion was fine tbh. The flannel thing was a reaction against 80s preppiness and hair metal cheese.
The baggy clothes were in part inspired by prison wear, and representative of hip hop influence and guys trying to look big and tough. It was a reaction against uncomfortable 70s/early 80s tight everything, which came to seem effeminate.
That last thing is important - this was an era before the gender revolution. So much conversation around that has changed in the last 10 years, the semiotics of the body are radically different right now.
The 70s were hideous, but decades of period pieces have rescued that tacky fashion and remade it to look wild and fun.
If you ask me what the ugliest era was, it's the one we just finished, hands down. Hipsterism was all about knowing self-mockery and challenging expectations of attractiveness in an attempt to reclaim a lost sense of authenticity in a world utterly coopted by media and advertising. It was deliberately awful.

Yeah I've gotta go with this.
The 80s and 90s stylings were fine (with some exceptions).
