i.e. denim, lots of brown, sleeveless-ness, top ponytails, clashing prints, bagginess, moodiness, quirkiness: see how the latter abounds in the inimitable ricky (bottom left), purveyor of fun blazers and brooches galore (seriously, at one point he's homeless and still pulls off fingerless tramp gloves with aplomb...)
yet, while my love for this show knows no bounds, i think that until topshop have a collection called 'uh, like, clothes or whatever', perhaps the full-on 90s teen revival will remain a slow-burner. still not sure you want to revisit the decade without the high-street safety cushions of body-con items and clean hair and all that?
i have one word for you - plaid. i have never seen so much plaid. the girls wear plaid, the boys wear plaid, the kids wear plaid, the mum wears plaid, the dad wears plaid. the teachers, they like plaid. i have even seen cases of plaid on plaid (on plaid).
so, to conclude: you want to bring a bit of my so called life into your so called life? begins with p, ends in add...
ps. i'm actually gonna let that other purveyor of 90s television chic, daria, have the last word on this one. sarcastic fantastic.
