The dot com boom in the late 90s to the early 2000s brought with it a distinctive fashion aesthetic that combined a futuristic vibe with retro elements. Today, fashion lovers are circling back to that experimental era although, with a modern twist, explains media educator Sthitipragnya Dash. “Some of the biggest fashion influences were Carrie Bradshaw and Britney Spears, and movies like The Matrix and Mean Girls,” she recalls.

Baby tees
Tiny t-shirts were worn extensively by girl bands in the late 90s, from their music videos to red carpets. They are now being spotted on the likes of model Bella Hadid. “These tees are cropped above the belly button and often come in quirky patterns. Pair them with loose jeans, pleated skirts, or denim cut-offs,” says Dash.
