The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Costume
Pay homage to one of the most iconic sitcoms of the 90s with a Fresh Prince-inspired costume. Channel your inner Will Smith with a colorful patterned shirt, baggy jeans, and high-top sneakers. Don’t forget to accessorize with a backwards baseball cap and a gold chain. Bonus points if you can find a friend to dress up as Carlton!
Clueless Costume
As if! The 90s classic Clueless is a treasure trove of costume inspiration. For the quintessential Cher Horowitz look, opt for a plaid mini skirt and matching blazer, paired with a white button-up shirt. Finish the look with knee-high socks and Mary Janes. And if you want to take your costume to the next level, add in some classic Cher phrases like “whatever” and “as if” throughout the night.
Spice Girls Costume
Girl power! The Spice Girls were one of the biggest pop culture phenomena of the 90s, and their colorful costumes make for great party attire. Whether you want to dress up as Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger, or Posh, there’s a Spice Girls costume for everyone. To complete the look, add in some platform shoes, bright lipstick, and a statement-making accessory.
Titanic Costume
If you want to go for a more dramatic 90s-inspired look, why not channel the iconic characters from Titanic? For Rose’s famous “flying” scene, opt for a floaty blue dress and a faux fur stole. For Jack’s look, go for a simple white shirt and suspenders. And don’t forget to strike a romantic pose on the dance floor!
Nirvana Costume
If you want to go for a more grunge-inspired look, why not dress up as the iconic 90s band Nirvana? For Kurt Cobain’s look, opt for a plaid shirt, ripped jeans, and Converse sneakers. And don’t forget to add in some of his signature accessories, like a beanie and sunglasses.
Friends Costume
Could we be any more excited about this costume idea? Friends was one of the most beloved sitcoms of the 90s, and the characters’ distinct styles make for great costume inspiration. Dress up as Rachel with a chic slip dress and layered necklaces, or go for Joey’s look with a leather jacket and aviator sunglasses. And if you really want to commit to the theme, reenact some classic Friends moments throughout the night.
90s Raver Costume
For a more abstract take on the 90s theme, why not go for a rave-inspired costume? Opt for neon colors, metallics, and bold patterns. Accessorize with glow sticks, fuzzy boots, and a funky hat. And don’t forget to dance the night away to some classic 90s techno beats.
No matter which 90s-inspired costume you choose, the most important thing is to have fun and embrace the nostalgia of the era. So break out your scrunchies, dig out your Doc Martens, and get ready to party like it’s 1999!
