I just watched "The Player" and now I am obsessed with the fashions of the early 1990s!

The billowy neutral suits! The day glo blouses! The high waisted jeans worn with belt and tucked in shirt!

What are some other good movies for crazy turn of the decade fashion?

Tim Robbins naked in a mudbath was sexy.

Any soap from the era will be enlightening.

Ahem * The same way* I feel so enthused by this subject I typed too fast.

The haircuts too!

I preferred this look of the early 90s.

Rob Morrow on 'Northern Exposure' epitomized early 90's pleated dweeby hotness. (Accessorized with a parka.)

Here's the whole cast. Even for a show set in Alaska, everyone looks like they're drowning in fabric!

Many of the American TV movies of that era - they repeat them a lot here in England - and I've noticed the ties and the jackets.

Ugh...Double breasted suits and printed silk shirts for men.

I was in high school about to leave for college - we really were drowning in fabric...the return of high waisted jeans for women doesn’t portend well for fashion in the next few.

R22 I'm about the same age as you, and you're right. We didn't know it at the time, but when I watch these old shows the sheer VOLUME of the clothes are really striking. And not only are women's high-waisted jeans making a comeback, but a few weeks ago we had a thread about pleated men's pants!

Well, we tried to warn them...

At least they replaced the acid wash jeans of the 80s.

Actually, the high waist was around in the 80s, it seems

early 90s I switched from Converse All Stars - that I'd been wearing since about 1977, to Doc Martens. Time to grow up.

Like this, but nicer, they no longer make the ones I wore.... that were slight more classic in shape and more pointed.

For women it was all about vests.

For men - the Levi jacket with the corduroy collar.

R 26, I still have my wingtip Docs from '94. Aside from needing moleskin on the heel lining, they're in great shape. It's such a shame they don't make then in England any more.

Such a shame to hide John Wesley Shipp's body under those baggy clothes.

I never put it together before, but this must be why the costuming on ST:TNG was almost always form fitting. It was different from the fashions of the day.
