Clogs and claw clips. Chokers and metallics. Once more, everything old is new again in fashion—this time, 1990s styles (a few extending into the aughts). And while the return of some things—namely, low-rise pants and pencil-thin eyebrows—has sparked much debate (many women are simply not willing to over-pluck again), plenty of the former trends are worth embracing. We asked four stylists what they’re most excited to see return, and all said the same thing: non-skinny pants. In the following pages, these experts show how they’d update the throwback silhouettes—with some other ’90s inspo included.
The revival of ’90s fashion has brought back four styles of pants. Embrace the nostalgia—but with these expert tips.

Catherine Bushera of the personal-styling company Style by Rachel says fashion in the ’90s was about cool, edgy simplicity and oversizing. One of her favorite trends: wide-leg pants worn by such icons as Princess Diana and Julia Roberts—back this year but with more structure and shape.
How to wear them: Bushera says it’s important to create balance up top—say, a blazer over a ’90s-inspired graphic tee or, as pictured, a tucked loose blouse. For the most updated style, add a belt with bold hardware. For a dressier outfit, pair wide-leg trousers with a tucked loose blouse and colorful slingback heels. For denim, dark and navy washes, Bushera says, will go more easily with your existing wardrobe. Pair those with a cropped sweater and tank along with a fun sneaker.
