Just like how history repeats itself, don’t you think so does fashion? Haven’t the bell-bottoms and the hoop earrings made a comeback from the past? Fashion trends keep resurfacing in spite of the fact that they belonged to a different era altogether. Well, according to us, it was during the 90s that fashion was recognized the most and was taken to be a serious deal. From celebrities to the common man, everyone started to follow fashion trends. In fact, the 90s trends were so phenomenal that even to this day they are still considered to be a rage in the fashion industry.
Even our humble Indian ethnic wear like the saree got a facelift during the 90s. Bollywood has always played an important role in influencing fashion styles in every era. So, when we mention the 90s times, which heroine’s name comes to your mind in terms of fashion? For us, we think of Urmila, Preity Zinta, Juhi Chawla, Karishma Kapoor, Kajol, etc. They have all been the trendsetters. And the present fashion influencers like Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhat, Sonam Kapoor, etc., are seen adopting some of the 90s fashion elements in their own personal styles, especially with the sarees.
The 90s were when the puff-sleeved saree blouses came into the limelight. We were even introduced to chiffon and satin sarees back then. And some of these 90s saree trends seem to have returned now. Let’s take a look at these trends.
1. The High Neck Blouse
From Sridevi to Madhuri, we have seen the Bollywood queens of the nineties wearing high neck blouses with their designer sarees. They’ve worn it in films and while making public appearances. And, now we can see fashionistas like Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone wearing them too. The high neck blouse, apart from being a fashion statement, has a number of added advantages too. One such is that we need not wear any neck jewelry here. Just a pair of statement earrings is enough to finish the look. Also, high neck blouses can be worn with any type of saree, be it chiffon or silk. This pattern goes well for a traditional look or a party wear look. The high neck blouses can be customized according to your saree needs — it can be collared, or it can be a polo neck. Whatever way you chose to wear it, remember that the style is here to stay.
2. The Satin Saree
How many of y’all are DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge) fans? Do you remember how Kajol wore a satin saree in the movie and swayed to the songs of love? It left the entire nation admiring her. And it also left all the women out there wanting to own a similar saree. Satin sarees are back in trend now, a lot of celebrities have been spotted wearing them. The shiny look of the saree is enough to leave you party-ready. You don’t need any sparkling jewelry to look gorgeous. Just pair it up with a fancy blouse and you are good to go, right? You will look classy and sophisticated.
3. The Puffed Sleeve Blouse
This fashion statement from the nineties is back! If you’re someone who has slender arms, a puff-sleeved blouse will make you look sleek, chic, and traditional. Women generally opt for a puffed sleeve blouse when it comes to the traditional silk sarees. No wonder we have spotted quite a number of South Indian actresses sporting it with their pretty Kanchipuram weaves. Gold jewelry is best suitable while wearing a silk saree with a blouse of this style. You can go creative with the puff by layering it or going for a smaller and shorter puff in the sleeve.
4. The Chiffon Saree
During the nineties, no Bollywood movie was complete without the heroine dancing away in a chiffon saree on the Swiss Alps. Did you just feel nostalgic right now? We feel you!
Guess what? These chiffon sarees are back and popular once again. The very feel of such a saree is so smooth and comfortable. Pair it up with a sleeveless blouse and watch heads turn as you walk down the carpet in an event.
5. The Lace Saree
Karishma wore it and so did Madhuri. And it made them look like princesses on the silver screen, such as the effect of a lace saree. It’s sophisticated, it’s über cool, and it’s modern. We suggest you pair it up with an off-shoulder blouse or some pearl jewelry and we’re sure you’ll feel the sass almost instantly.
These were some of the saree trends from the nineties that are back with a bang in 2018. Do you know of any such 90s trend that is back in rage? Let us know in the comments below.
