As you stroll through campus on a Saturday night, you'll probably notice a mass amount of chokers, "party ponies" (pictured below) and high-waisted jeans.

No, you're not time traveling back to the 90's, you're simply just experiencing the rebirth of the classic, angsty, '90s style that girls today are finessing. It started off with the emergence of crop tops and high-waisted shorts in the summer, and has now moved to turtle necks and Keds being all the rage when paired with the right pair of torn up boyfriend jeans. So whether or not your '90s revolution has stopped with your hight-top converse or has made it all the way to the wonderful half-bun, you can see that this trend isn't coming to a stop anytime soon.

The '90s were full of teen-angst and grunge, but it also was a time of extremely functional and fun looks. It takes the average days wardrobe and adds an element of edge to it in a way that doesn't come off like you're trying too hard.
A key component to honing in on your inner 90's gal is owning a button-front skirt. These can be styled in two very distinct, different ways.

By pairing the skirt with a cute crop top, fun jewelry and some great converse, you automatically portray the fun-loving '90s girl who's ready to take on any sort of adventure.
If that's not quite your style, grab your favorite oversized, plain-colored v-neck and tuck it in just the right amount to give a comfy, effortless looks. Pair it with some simple flats, and if you really want to hit a '90s style home-run, throw on your favorite pair of Keds and you've got all you need to conquer the day.
Another '90s element that's trending right now is the choker. This is something that can make or break a look, but can also add the perfect amount of accessories in a low-key way.
A choker is something that can add the ultimate final element to any outfit. Adding something tighter around the neck can give your messy up-do or curled hair the perfect accentuation and edgy look. It can also easily replace the structure that a high neckline shirt has to offer, not to mention you can find any color or style of choker to go with your outfit of choice.
One fashion element that is basically the choker's best friend is bomber jacket. This pair is the ultimate '90s duo and can be done in thousands of different ways. A bright bomber jacket with a chic pair of Adidas sneaker, denim high-waisted shorts, and a funky choker is a casual outfit that has the perfect amount of fun undertone.

So whether or not *NSYNC is your favorite band or The Spice Girls are your idols, the 90's style trend is something that brings an element of party to the normal day-to-day lifestyle. And, if you begin to receive some back last for your angsty '90s style choices as I once did (one time my older brother told me he would disown me if I went out in public in a choker), please disregard, buy another choker and rock on.
