1990s inspired outfits range from slay to throw away. Cargo pants, crop tops, low-rise jeans, khaki chinos, navy blue blazers, Keds, oversized sweatshirts, boat shoes, ballet flats, baseball jackets and mom jeans are just some of the trends that have lasted the test of time. This 1998 spring break dELiA*s catalogue has all of those and more. It was named the favorite fashion brand for American girls in the 1990s. It's filled with oddly poignant sayings, randomly capitalized letters, and a bunch of hip, slightly-angsty 'cool girls.' Some styles are hard to look at now, the cringe is palpable. But looking back brings a smile regardless. Take a look at this mix of iconic and dead looks.
