Step back in time to the 90s this summer

It seems that every past decade has seen a fashion revival in recent years and now it seems it is the turn of the 1990s that is in the spotlight. With the likes of Henry Holland and Topshop as well as bands like Little Mix championing the 90s look never has the decade been more in style.

In fact the band have said in interviews that the characters like Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell and Hillary Banks from the Fresh Prince of Bell-Air were all style icons of theirs – a glowing endorsement of 90s fashion if ever there were.  But what looks should you take from the 90s to make your own?

Tie-dye and neon brights

Anyone who lived through the 90s will remember global hypercolour t-shirts, tie-dye and neon brights (you only have to look at Saved by the Bell to see how popular neon's were). However, the look now is some what more pared down but that said bright colours are definitely having a fashion moment. If you want to wear the look though make sure that you don't go for head to toe tie-dye or neon brights as it can be a little overpowering.  However, a graphic print tee or tie-dye tee in neon colours will be a perfect way of getting that 90s feel into your outfit.

However, one great way to channel the trend is with great accessories so think bright and bold fashion and costume jewellery with big and bright stones. Or why not try women's scarves in a bright colour – and by wearing it as a hair band you will look perfect for the summer and channel the 90s trend.  Because scarves for women are so versatile you will have a nod to the trend without going over the top – what's not to love!

Acid and stonewash jeans

Another key 90s trend is acid and stonewash jeans and in fact in some ways the paler the better. So now is the time to put those dark wash jeans to the back of the wardrobe and get out the lighter style jeans and they are perfect to pair with neon brights. Better still get some ripped jeans and you will look like you have come straight out if the 90s.

Crop tops

OK this may be only for those with the flattest stomach but crop tops are certainly having a bit of a fashion moment, especially with the likes of Rihanna, Jessie J and Little Mix all wearing crop tops if you can pull it off it is definitely the perfect look to go for.

Grunge

Think Johnny Depp and Kate Moss from their 90s heyday – so go for slightly big and baggy looks with a slight unkempt feel to it but still uber stylish.
