As the fashion world continues to evolve, there seems to be a simultaneous push for innovation and all things retro. Over the last few years this juxtaposition has, for the most part, been beneficial (hello chokers, hello platforms). The arrival of the Nike Mag has only proven that the world’s nostalgic tendencies have, and will continue to, lead us to great innovations. Yet, as we keep evolving, Fashionistas/os will continue to remind us of the reasons why we’ll never fully leave the pre-2000s decades. While some hairstyles should remain in the past, this Fashionista shows us why there are certain “do’s” that will continue to make appearances throughout the years.
Buns of all kinds are the perfect way to keep hair up and out of the way, while also adding a touch of sophistication. This Fashionista’s messy bun does a good job of this, allowing the focus to be on the edge of the outfit, but it’s the loose ’90s strands that complete the look. By framing her face and extending to her shoulders, the strands elongate her neck. In addition, along with the her wispy straight-across bangs, they add a more feminine feel to her serious outfit. In a way, this Fashionista’s hairdo overall gives off a Sailor Moon vibe, once again, taking us back to the ’90s.
Of course, in order for a look to feel complete with any hairstyle, it’s important that it be paired with the right outfit. As mentioned, this Fashionista’s outfit is on the edgy side. The all-black ensemble does a good job of playing with proportions, while the backpack serves as a great statement piece, and the combat boots create an effective contrast to her hair. That contrast is what makes this look stand out.
