All of this talk about back-to-school shopping has made me think about what school clothes shopping was like when I was younger. I still remember all of the years I spent getting ready for the first day of school - but instead of trying to find the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans or knee-high boots, I was searching for stone-washed denim overalls and platform sneakers.

Even though some '90s trends have come back in style in a major way (hello, crop tops!), many of them have stayed just where they should... in the '90s. There is no reason platform sneakers or flip flops need to be popular again, I promise. Regardless of how cringe-inducing these items might seem now, it's still fun to look back on the clothes every true '90s girl had on her wishlist to make a good impression on her first day of school. Here are 18 old fashion trends you'll only remember if you truly loved the '90s:
1. Platform sneakers
Because I was obsessed with Baby Spice, and the Spice Girls in general, I had more than a few pairs of these. I promise you, these are not comfortable. They are clunky.
2. Big, goofy hats
I literally had this exact hat. I still have it, actually, because I can't bear to throw it out. Hats like these became popular because of the show Blossom... but bucket hats? No one will ever know why they were popular.
3. Popcorn shirts
REMEMBER THESE?! These ridiculous, one-size-fits-all shirts? What a gem.
4. Platform flip-flops
WHYYYY. Someone please tell me why.
5. Bandanas
Wearing a bandana on your head was all the rage. Please don't make this one of these trends that come back.
6. Overalls
Overalls have made a comeback, but today they don't look quite as clunky and baggy as they did back then.
7. Denim shortalls
I guess these have made a comeback as well, but again, not exactly the same look.
8. Jeans with no waistband
You can thank Mariah Carey for this one.
9. Tommy Hilfiger everything
Tommy Hilfiger is obviously still a popular designer, but his clothes will never be the way they were in the '90s.
10. Crushed velvet
I still have an old crushed velvet dress in my closet from middle school that I can't bear to get rid of. It was my favorite thing!!!
11. Plaid skirts
I still see people wear plaid skirts today, but let's be real: you think of Clueless when you think of them.
12. Blousy peasant tops
I'm not sure if these were late '90s or early 2000's or both. All I know is that I owned a million of them.
13. Little fuzzy sweaters
These were my favorite things ever. #Embarrassing
14. Halter tops
Halter tops really enjoyed a moment in the '90s. They're still around, but not nearly as popular.
15. Bell bottoms/flared jeans
Bell bottoms were a '70s trend that came back in the '90s. Flared jeans were basically the same thing, except not as big. I miss these sometimes.
16. Handkercheif tops
OMG. Why. Why. Why.
17. Crazy colorful anorak jackets or windbreakers
If there were one trend that defined the '90s... I think this would be it.
18. Vests of all kinds and lengths
Vests are obviously still a thing, but they were a much bigger thing once upon time.

90s hairstyles in general were much simpler and more natural and far less likely to cause future embarrassment than those of the previous decade. Of course, the most famous hairstyle of the 90s was the Rachel cut and everybody wanted to copy it.

If you weren't there you're going to have to trust us on this one, but the 90s was pretty much the best decade of all time. Britney and the Spice Girls ruled the world, Sabrina The Teenage Witch was every girl's dream BFF and the Backstreet Boys were the only cassette single you needed (99p from Woolworths, kids) - but best of all, the 90's style and fashion was categorically awesome.

While we're pretty glad that a lot of things have moved on since then (y'know, like the invention of the internet), the high street is currently all kinds of obsessed with 90s fashion, and we could not be more excited about it.

Ok so maybe the Baby Space platform trainers and dark brown lip liner belong firmly in the past, but here's a whole heap of style proof that you need to take things back to the 90s in your own 2010s wardrobe. Girl powerrr *peace sign*.

Scrunchies

AKA, the coolest uncool hair accessory ever created. They used to strictly belong on a scraped back, school-ready ponytails, but these days celebs like Selena Gomez and big designers like Marc Jacobs have brought them back in the best, edgiest way possible.

The only accessory you needed in the 90s made a mega comeback at last year's Coachella festival, and isn't disappearing any time soon. It's officially the new flower crown, don'tcha know. For extra cool points, layer up and mix and match your chockers with different materials, sizes and pendants (or you could even make your own).

Slip dresses

Slip dresses are actually a genius invention. Not only are they super cute when layered over a t-shirt and trainers for ultimate 90s vibes, but you can also wear them on their own for a more party-ready look. Effortless.

For some reason, the 90s was aaall about taking inspiration from your Nan's best armchair and adding a bit of crushed velvet into your wardrobe - and now it's back in a big way. All your favourite high street shops are swimming in velvet tees, velvet dresses and velvet jackets right now, so prepare to not be able to stop stroking your own arms when you get dressed.

Legs fed up of being trapped in a skinny denim prison? That's lucky, 'cos you can swap them out for mom jeans according to the 90s style bible. They were the jean of choice for middle aged women back in the day, but the super comfy, high waisted, flat-bum shape suddenly looks amazing in 2017, paired with a slogan tee.

And once you've sorted yourself out with some mom jeans, try pairing the high waisted shape with a cropped tee. It's a look that's relaxed, comfy and casual, but still somehow manages to be super edgy and stylish. Plus now the temperature's in double figures, you don't need to worry about keeping your kidneys warm. Result.

Baseball caps

We're partially gonna blame Kylie Jenner for this one, but thanks to her and the Kardashians never being seen without one these days, baseball caps are literally everywhere again. Suits us nicely, because it means just shoving a hat on instead of actually doing your hair. No batting practice required.

Double denim

Maybe the most iconic 90s fashion moment saw Britney Spears and then-bae Justin Timberlake arriving on the red carpet in matching, head-to-toe double (maybe even quadruple?) denim outfits. If you've never seen it, Google it and marvel. It took a while for the trend to recover after that, but doubling up your denim is officially cool again now - as long as, top tip, they're slightly different shades.

What are you waiting for? Time to make your wardrobe a 90s time machine.

Who remembers pegging Skidz pants bought from Merry Go Round? We had to wear Air Jordans, too. Our t-shirts were big and our shorts were extra long.Tapered pants were a big deal. If they weren’t tapered, then you had to taper them yourself with a fold and a couple flips.Boys and girls both wore baseball caps in many different ways. Mullets were stylish for a couple years and every sweater had a turtleneck under it.But then grunge happened. Suddenly every thrift store in town couldn’t keep a flannel shirt in stock to save their backs. Teens were digging through dad’s box of old clothes to get their hands on some authentic hole-ridden jeans to wear over top of their long john stockings.

Plaid flannel - Grunge hit in full force. Pair this with some baggy jeans and you've captured the look.

Sweats - The '90s look was pretty relaxed.

Baseball caps - Pretty much everyone was wearing a ball cap, any which way a ball cap can go.

Sneakers - Opt for some Jordans!

T-shirts - Oversized, like three sizes too big.

Crop tops - Let your belly button be free!
