Fashion experts give a nod to classic ’90s designs that are crowned favourites
It’s always a great time to wear blouses from the ‘90s again. Certain designs from that decade never go out of style and every year they seem to have more popularity and impact. This is not a new trend, as it comes from nostalgia and the “FOMO” culture, two elements that have been key to the return and obsession with the garments of the past. Simply put, classics never die and ’90s blouses are one of them worth updating.
Spring-summer 2026 fashion trends gave way to blouses that come back from the ‘90s in brands like Toteme, Bevza, Khaite and The Row, brands that continue to revive the ’90s aesthetic, confirming that it still evokes elegance, glamour and a natural style that doesn’t require much to stand out. From minimalist blouses, to bohemian, to grunge aesthetic designs, the catwalks and street style make it clear which are the infallible designs to dominate the proposal like an expert.
Which ’90s blouses will be in fashion in February 2026?
Halter tops
On-trend spring-summer 2026 blouses will sweep through the month; therefore, it would be a mistake not to consider them in your seasonal favourites. Right in the era of minimalism, icons of the decade like Amber Valletta were among the pioneers in viralising the aesthetic before social media arrived. Just think back to one of her archival photographs in 1996, when she sheathed a monochromatic look with one of the most seductive and distinctive pieces of 2026 halter tops.
Now, brands like Prada, Miu Miu, Alberta Ferretti and Isabel Marant have a myriad of options, from minimalist to bohemian garments, ideal to give prominence to the shoulders and look sensual without falling into the provocative.
White boho blouse
In the ’90s there was also space for interesting proposals such as grunge fashion, the antithesis of minimalism and classic fashion. Marc Jacobs dared to break the style codes of Perry Ellis in the spring 1993 fashion show, one of the most memorable catwalks that marked a before and after in the clothing of the time. Christy Turlington inspired more than one alternative girl to go for blue-collar booties and white boho blouses with worn-out fabrics that to this day continue to appear on street style and catwalks. A nod to the edgy boho that we will see sweeping throughout the month of February 2026.
Polo neck blouse
Tenniscore, office siren or old money are part of the trends that connect with the ’90s and bring a lot to current styles. As you know, Miu Miu is one of the fashion houses that managed to make it viral, this time not only presented in sober tones, but also with striped motifs that bring a touch of cool kid in any outfit, or seductive executive as Shalom Harlow in 1997.
Short blouse
Of course, the baby tee of the ‘90s and ’2000s is an infallible basic for February and soon to be spring 2026. Kate Moss is one of the muses of the era, the top model who wore them with straight jeans and strappy heeled sandals, a minimalist and sexy look that we still see in major fashion capitals. It girls like Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, Rosalia and Charli XCX have put them on the scene once again. The best way to identify them is by their fit neither too short to be a top, nor too long to be considered a blouse, just below the navel, perfect for wearing jeans or hip-length garments.
Sheer boho blouse
Those ethereal blouses, in sheer fabric and with a bohemian accent, come back from the past to monopolise the closets of fashion experts. Opt for designs with this aesthetic that will be present, according to brands such as Chloé, Etro and Isabel Marant. Whether they are made of lace, sheer silk, mesh or even tulle, a brown or dark shade will be ideal to ensure versatility and a distinctive pop of colour. We’ll see them with jeans, skirts and pants.
Tank Top or thick strappy blouse
Tank tops are one of the iconic garments of the ’90s, as they defined the era of minimalism or quiet luxury. Nowadays, they are a basic to lower the formality of a style and give it a much cooler and relaxed twist; however, brands like Toteme, The Row and Khaite have elegant options that elevate basic looks to another level. Proof of the above is how street style gives a nod to the style lessons of the past from stars of the decade like Jennifer Aniston.
