Girls fashion accessories of the nineties

So back to the fashion of the 90s. We previously spoke about the clothing but we didn’t discuss the accessories that were fashionable at the time. Firstly, something that many girls, from primary school girls to high school girls, had was tattoo chokers, arm bands and anklets.  These were plastic, elastic-like bands that would in effect look like a tattoo.  They were originally released in black and later came in many different colours.  



Another accessory of the time was these plastic bands that could be tied together in different ways to look like different bracelets but they could also be worn just as it was. They were also commonly known as shag bands, which meant if you broke one you had to... I don’t need to finish it off, I’m sure you get the picture. It went around that different colours meant different things that had to be done.



In the 90s scrunchies were a popular accessory to wear in your hair. You could get srunchies in all different colours and patterns.


Hair ties that were made of fake hair, followed the scrunchy phase. Girls could tie their hair in a bun or a pony tail and tie this around to look as though it was there real hair just in a fancy up style. These came in multiple different hair colour tones.


Other hair accessories included butterfly clips. There were two different types of butterfly clips; the ones that had a fake butterfly attached ontop of a clip which would allow the butterfly to flutter when you moved and the other type was just a plastic clip which was made in the shape of a butterfly.


Little coil clips were also in. These came in different sizes and colours and some had flower, some had diamontes and some were just plain. They were to add a little bit of spunk to your hair style but they were a pain to get out at times!!


And what every girl had was a fluffy pen, just like Cher from Clueless.
