I can’t scroll through my work email without seeing hundreds of pitches highlighting a certain iconic New York couple from the ’90s. This has made it clear that, no matter how many maximalist moments enter the trend cycle, ’90s minimalism will always be the blueprint. Simplicity is at the heart of that decade, and lately, that’s become synonymous with looking polished. If you want to embody this effortless style as we move into spring, I recommend starting with these 16 arrivals from NET-A-PORTER. This is a collection of dresses, bags, footwear, and accessories that ’90s fashion icons would certainly purchase today.
’90s-Inspired Apparel
If you have neutral basics and straight-leg blue jeans, you’re off to a good start. Complement those staples with a pinstripe or satin slip dress, a lace-trim skirt, or white tapered jeans for spring.
