Styling bright 90s-inspired mini dresses with pop colours can be a fun and vibrant way to create a unique look for summers. Actress Kriti Sanon recently posted a bright 90s-inspired retroverse look for her online campaign in a bright blue short dress with matching blue shoes to make a bold statement. The Crew actress picked a sporty sleeveless body-hugging dress with graphic prints to show her take on street wear, and show her young and carefree style.
A perfect look for fans, who aren’t afraid to play with bright shades and quirky prints, the 90s fashion makes a perfect choice for casual get-togethers and shopping sprees. For fans of easy street style, this is the best time to pick a mini dress and get creative with some fun looks.
Here are some tips to help you create some statement worthy looks with mini dresses:
Mix and match patterns: Don’t be afraid to mix patterns and textures. Pair your mini dress with a brightly coloured plaid shirt tied around the waist or a patterned jacket for a playful look. Mix different textures within your outfit to add visual interest. For example, pair a satin mini dress with a fuzzy or faux fur coat in a bright color for a fun contrast.
Add retro elements: Complete the 90s-inspired ensemble with platform sneakers, chunky boots, or strappy sandals in bold hues that contrast or coordinate with the colours in your dress. One can also add a cool jacket; especially denim jackets or vests are quintessentially 90s and can add a casual-cool vibe to your outfit while also providing a pop of colour if you opt for a brightly coloured denim piece.
Go bold with colours: If the weather calls for it, layer your mini dress with a brightly coloured coat or jacket. Opt for a trench coat, bomber jacket, or faux fur coat in a vibrant hue to make a bold statement. Layer with bold accessories and add statement pieces like chunky necklaces, hoop earrings, or colourful belts to enhance the 90s vibe and add pops of colour that complement the dress.
Mix neon with neutrals: Balance out the brightness of your mini dress by pairing it with neutral pieces like a denim skirt or white sneakers, then add pops of neon accessories like a neon belt or bag for a modern twist. You can also experiment with hair and makeup, and choose bold makeup looks such as vibrant eyeshadows, graphic eyeliner, or bold lipstick shades that complement the colours of your dress. For fun hairstyles, opt for space buns, high ponytails, or half-up/half-down styles. Complete your look with a colourful bag that adds a pop of contrasting or complementary color. Whether it’s a bright crossbody bag, a neon clutch, or a patterned backpack, the right bag can tie your whole look together.
