1995: Plaid
1994 was actually a good year in fashion, compared to the years to come. Some of the best trends we’re trying to revive today originated in the beginning of the nineties, including crop-tops, bike shorts, baby doll dresses and chokers. Unfortunately, some of these were either forgotten or pushed aside by the plaid pattern.
Plaid was over everything: jackets, shirts, skirts and dresses. A T.V show that was particularly influential (fashion-wise and otherwise) in the mid-nineties was the popular sitcom Friends, where the spoiled Rachel Green, portrayed by Jennifer Aniston, was considered somewhat of a fashion icon. She did wear everything that was trendy at the time, including denim on denim, baby doll dresses and shirts, and of course, plenty of plaid.
