Pretty Flies: The 1990s
You’ve seen evidence of the 90s’ ubiquity over the past year – and these trends haven’t gone away. Baby T-shirts, combat boots and faux leather pieces will continue to dominate women’s fashion trends in 2023. Straight-leg jeans have become the standard for silhouettes, and light denim washes are slowly replacing traditional dark washes. Another vintage staple left behind in the New Year is the quintessential halter dress. Throw on a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater for more ’90s style points. You’ll appreciate our tips when you’re wondering how to wear this dress in the winter. For the finishing touch, go all out with a colorful butterfly hair clip.

Y2K: Early August
The latest era of women’s fashion trends in 2023? You guessed it. The early 2000s are often referred to as Y2K. Maybe you’ve only heard of this decade, or maybe you distinctly remember wearing your velvet sweatshirt and lambswool-lined boots. In case you’re wondering, we’re the latter. Either way, the best of the best is back and ready to be celebrated by a new generation. We’re talking baggy bottoms, shrunken tops and sweaters, denim skirts, embossed pumps and, of course, low-rise jeans. The styles that defined the decade are reigning over the fashion world.

It’s safe to say that this era redefined the fashion world, with bold prints and vibrant colors having a major impact on it. And, of course, we can’t forget to credit the 60s for short hemlines and the iconic mini skirt. So next time you’re getting dressed, reach for that denim mini skirt.
