Summer often arrives unexpectedly. Just yesterday, the wardrobe was built around light cardigans, closed shoes, and items for cooler weather, and today one wants to put away jackets and finally think about summer looks. The best solution this season is not to overcomplicate and seek inspiration in the outfits of the most fashionable women of the 1990s. Light monochrome items, sandals with thin straps, simple tops, denim shorts, linen trousers, and slip dresses are easily combined and do not require complex styling. Such a summer wardrobe leaves more time for truly important seasonal rituals: drinking Aperol Spritz and complaining about the heat. Below is a brief guide on how to replicate the style of the most talked-about stars of the 1990s.
Flip-flops + denim shorts
Jennifer Aniston
Over the past few years, Havaianas flip-flops have gone from being a favorite tourist shoe to a recognized fashion item. You can choose a simple black model or opt for bold red flip-flops. In both cases, they pair best with raw-hem denim shorts and a shoulder bag. This is exactly how Jennifer Aniston dressed.

Midi skirt + tank top
In the 1990s, few people wore simple items as well as Gwyneth Paltrow. Even before the advent of Goop and its associated clothing lines, she had perfected the combination of a spaghetti strap top and a slip skirt. Today, this formula looks very relevant again. Add heeled sandals with thin straps, light makeup, and a small beaded bag.
Ballet flats + three-quarter sleeve top
The three-quarter sleeve top has already become one of the most trending items in this season’s summer wardrobe. Its popularity is easily explained by nostalgia for the 1990s. Kate Moss showed how to wear such a top simply and effortlessly: with a mini skirt and ballet flats. The result is a light summer look that can be quickly put together and immediately worn out of the house.
Sheer slip dress + tank top
This is an option for those who are not afraid of daring looks. “Naked” dresses in the 1990s style look simpler and less theatrical than many modern versions of this trend. If you want to show some skin this summer, take a cue from Sofia Coppola: a bright vintage slip dress over black lingerie and a tank top looks bold but very interesting.
Cropped cardigan + Mary Jane shoes
A restrained version of a summer outfit is a look in the spirit of Liv Tyler. A cropped cardigan and Mary Jane shoes evoke a librarian’s style. This is an elegant, feminine, and very wearable look in the style of the 1990s.
Bandeau top + linen trousers
A summer wardrobe is often built on the right balance between openness and comfort. That’s why a bandeau top is one of the best items in hot weather. The reference is Sarah Jessica Parker in a grey strapless top and wide linen trousers. The perfect complement is Manolo Blahnik slingbacks. It’s a subtle nod to Carrie Bradshaw’s style and her ability to transform a simple summer look into the most fashionable ensemble.
