For those into fashion, what could be some good ideas for men on how to dress in 90s fashion to blend with modern?

[Oliverlogan263]

I'm looking to incorporate some 90s-inspired streetwear styles into my modern outfits, but want to avoid looking too dated. The mid-late 90s aesthetic that I like is quite basic and authentic, however updating it with a contemporary twist would be ideal. As someone who aims for a cool, confident look, I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to blend classic 90s elements with a fresh approach?

For example, when I go out to the mall or in public, what kinds of pieces or details could I incorporate to draw on the laidback 90s vibes without seeming like I just stepped right out of that era? Loose jeans and graphics tees will always be staples, but how could I tweak the fits, fabrics or accessories to make the overall look feel more modern? I want to pay homage to the styles I like from that time period while still looking put together and stylish in today's context. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For myself personally, I’d rock with a style with a random t shirt of Tupac:

Some black denim jeans:

A figaro necklace, locs shades, and bracelet:

And with some Air Jordan 1:

What y’all think of my style laid out here and tell me your ideas? No negative comments

I am not sure how to blend the 90's look you are going for with a fresh approach. As long as you're happy and comfortable with what you are wearing is fine. You are the one wearing it. I think it is fine. I wear what I want, when I want. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I am not a follower of others and I can careless what others think of what I wear. I am being myself. :)

[SandandWaves]

I think the outfit looks nice

[Oliverlogan263]

Thank you so much for your comment. I will always wear what I’m confident and comfortable in, I just had comments before where I said I came out of the 90s or say i wouldn’t wanna dress too outdated you know but I agree with all you said

[SandandWaves]

you're welcome

Personally, I'm not into logos or big prints for shirts. A plain black shirt and black jeans, accessories, and shoes looks a lot more modern and classy for me.

But if you really like t-shirt prints, I recommend changing the shoes. Preferably into a classic Air Force 1 or similar, so there's not a lot of distraction going on the outfit. 😁

[Oliverlogan263]

Thanks mama, I got you on that. It’s mostly just the cool and laidback swag look I’m goin for you know as I’ve been told I look like I came out of the 90s if you seen what I looklike

[Hellur991]

The 1s has to go bro. Rest of the fit can stay. Silver or stainless steel jewelry can add to it you can either do smart black chunky loafers or a pair of shoes that low key or completely match with the color way of the shirt

[Hellur991]

Reason I say the 1s has to go because there's no red in ur fit. And jewelry choice either silver or stay with the gold

[Oliverlogan263]

I agree, I would like to blend with what I have on either if it’s black, green, or red

[Hellur991]

thanks for the mho

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

[Oliverlogan263]

I can't see the images you're talking about, but from the description you've given, it sounds like you've got a solid base for blending '90s fashion with a more modern twist! Rocking a Tupac t-shirt with black denim is a classic move that definitely nods to the ‘90s vibe you’re going for. To keep it looking fresh and not like a time capsule from the ‘90s, you might consider playing with the fit of your jeans—maybe opt for a slim or tapered fit instead of the baggier styles that were more common back then.

Accessorizing with a Figaro necklace, locs shades, and a bracelet can add that touch of personality and authenticity to your look. Choosing more updated, sleek versions or mixing metals might give it that modern edge. As for the Air Jordan 1s, they're timeless and effortlessly bridge that gap between the ‘90s and modern-day streetwear. Maybe try pairing them with pieces that have a more contemporary feel, like a smart bomber jacket or a minimalist, clean-lined overcoat to juxtapose with the laidback '90s elements.

Remember, fashion is all about expressing yourself, so as long as you feel confident and comfortable, you're likely on the right track. Mixing and matching styles across decades can create a unique, eclectic look that's all your own. How do you feel about adding modern fabrics or tech-wear touches to your outfits for that updated feel?

don't

I am an enjoyer of fashion in that I like to look good and that I have strong opinions on what does look good. I'm more for the classic styles, and I can tell you that this ensemble is a boy's wear. Not a man's wear.

[Iron_Man]

You got it down pretty good

[Oliverlogan263]

Thanks man, I kinda favored the 90s fit a lot of movies and shows I’ve seen and also wanna incorporate the badass but smooth laidback look too for the loo Im going for

[Iron_Man]

You are welcome. It’s a nice look go for it. I like the style

[Nikki1989]

Please save us the eye torture and don't dress like that.

[jshm2]

You're going to get shot wearing that.

[FunkyMonkee]

Wear skirts more often.
