It's no secret that the '90s are back. Maybe it's because "Friends" is so widely loved that trying to emulate Monica and Rachel's styles was inevitable, or maybe it's because people actually think that bike shorts, mini dresses and crop tops are new trends.
Regardless of where it started, we're seeing a surge in a number of old trends — namely chunky white kicks that go with pretty much everything.
So, If you're in need of some '90s "dad sneakers" to go with your vintage mom jeans or are looking for a way to modernize a classic, here are seven different ways to wear your new favorite shoes every day of the week.
1. Paired with a feminine mini dress
Adding a more athletic-looking shoe to feminine piece is a great way to add a fun edge to softer look. It also adds an aspect of functionality to the look, giving you versatility.
2. With a slouchy sweater and un-hemmed baggy jeans
Honestly this will probably be my go-to look. Your favorite sweater and mom jeans combo with the addition of your new sneakers is a timeless, yet tried and true style that anyone can pull off.
3. Adding dimension to the layered slip dress
Another take on 'the tennis shoes with a dress' look, try a pairing a longer dress with your sneaks to give the illusion of added height. Add a loose-fitting T-shirt underneath or a cami on top for added dimension.
4. With your favorite over-sized T-shirt and shorts
Obviously the big shirt and short, shorts look is not a new invention, but it's easy to modernize just so much that it looks effortless and carefree instead of careless. Adding the chunky sneakers gives you a throwback vibe that's sure to add interest.
5. With a spaghetti strap tank and baggy jeans
Another look that both Rachel and Monica would definitely approve of. The tank and jeans combo is a great way to flatter your natural shape, and the shoes enhance it with a little extra height.
6. For dressing down your favorite slip skirt
Another style that I'll be attempting to replicate soon. Pair your favorite slip skirt with some chunky sneakers to take this outfit from dressy to eye-catchingly casual.
7. With an over-sized sweatshirt and chunky sneaks
A much-loved variation of look no. 4. Seriously, if you feel like channeling total '90s vibes, grab your most trusted sweatshirt, a pair of bike shorts and a scrunchie and just go with it. If Princess Diana wore it, you know it's a look.
