1990s fashion

Want to look the part at Pitchfork? Snap into a bodysuit or don other back-in-fashion '90s duds.

If you were a young girl in the early 1990s (like, you could’ve played Stephanie Tanner on Full House), chances are you owned a 1 bodysuit. Believe it or not, the bathing suit–like top is back—and now available in loud, floral prints. $25 at H&M (locations around the city, hm.com).

Sure, U couldn’t touch MC Hammer’s parachute pants back in 1990, but these days, Hammer-inspired 2 harem pants are all the rage at shops such as Eskell (1509 N Milwaukee Ave, 773-486-0830). $246.

We’d like to forget about the pink and black minidress with 3 side cutouts that Julia Roberts wore on the Pretty Woman poster. But the new modern versions (the cutouts aren’t as drastic, thank God) won’t let us. $42 at Urban Outfitters (locations around the city).

Even though The Nanny sucked the cool out of 4 animal-print minidresses at the end of the decade, Urban Outfitters found a way to bring them back—this time in a flowy version. $58 at Urban Outfitters.
