40 Portraits Capture Young Women’s Real-Life Styles From the 1990s

When we look back at the past, it's easy to imagine entire decades as one giant aesthetic. The 60s? Hippies. The 80s? Neon spandex. The 90s? Grunge and scrunchies. But the truth is always more interesting - and more human.

These portraits of young women from the 1990s show exactly that. Real people, real outfits, real hair. Some went full glam with teased bangs and glossy lipstick, others rocked the timeless jeans-and-T-shirt combo that will never go out of style. You can practically feel the mix of mall culture, MTV influence, and "just rolled out of bed but make it cute" energy that defined the decade.

It's a reminder that the 90s weren't just one look - they were hundreds of them. And every photo here captures a small, perfect piece of that chaos.
