Overalls were a big hit in the 90s! Here's a picture of boy band 'N Sync, who formed back in 1995:

Overalls were also popular among women, as is evident by this photograph of R&B group TLC:



The grunge fashion style rose to prominence in 1992. It was aided and inspired by bands such as Nirvana. Note the ripped jeans and flannel shirts!

Who could forget the colorful bomber jackets?

Bomber Jacket

This is from the 1991 Spring Neiman Marcus catalog. The text beside it reads: "In lagoon-blue fugi silk: The unconstructed two-button blazer, and trousers with double-reverse front pleats. Pivotal short-sleeved T-shirt is black silk knit."

Blazer

Adidas tracksuit pants that had buttons along the side of the legs. You could open these up on a warm day and the end of your pants would swing around awkwardly. These things were extremely sore if your leg happened to press up against a hard surface while you were sitting down. Wearing these also left you open to the possibility that somebody would tug at them and open all of the buttons:

Remember having these trainers / runners / sneakers as a kid? It didn't matter if they weren't stylish or whatever. They had lights!

Tinted sunglasses were also pretty big in the 90s:
