A Mood, An Aesthetic: Spice Up Your Fashion Wardrobe With These Spice Girls Inspired Looks

Everyone knows that fashion trends change but style is eternal. And somehow, the fun, eccentric, and brazen style of the 1990s outlived many of the trends that came and went before and after. Why? It might just be pure nostalgia on the part of ‘90s kids, or maybe there truly was something special about the fashion of this time. 

Honestly, no other celebrity could have pulled off the attention-seeking latex, ridiculous amounts of neon, and towering shoes the Spice Girls were famous for. However, if you know you’ve got what it takes, we’ve put together five Spice Girls-inspired ensembles that will make you look fashion-forward while still flashing that '90s flair!

No Spice Girl-inspired look would be complete without trainers that could beat any stiletto in height! Here's how to perfect this look:

1. Saks Potts, shearling-trimmed leather jacket

2. Junya Watanabe x Buffalo, platform sneakers

3. Agolde, '90s mid-rise straight jeans

4. Zara, Textured geometric earrings

5. Calvin Klein printed stretch sports bra

It's a look that blends '90s charm with contemporary fashion, all designed around these epic Buffalo platforms. Pair them with some straight-leg jeans and slim-fitting T-shirts to make this Spice Girl ensemble street-ready. 

The great sartorial minds of the '90s were into glossy fabrics and metallic tones. Translating this inspiration with contemporary eyes means piecing together a look that incorporates unlikely bedfellows while using the metallic theme to draw it all together. Just look at this ensemble:

1. Realization Par, The Naomi

2. Misho, Chunky chain necklace

3. Timberland, Premium boots

4. Charlotte Simone, Lil pop bag

5. Ganni, Printed jersey T-shirt

All the color and fun style of the Spice Girls meets the chicness of the modern era in this pink and playful ensemble.

Small shoulder bags were all the rage in the 1990s. Geri Halliwell loved wearing them as much as Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker. And they are making a comeback thanks to another '90s fashion lover: Hadid. A similar option with a contemporary touch comes in the form of saddlebags. 

The Dior saddlebag shown above can be a great option if shoulder bags don't work for you. 

A self-respecting '90s fashionista wouldn't be caught dead without tinted sunglasses in their wardrobe. These were must-haves, with different colors for all occasions. Of course, the slimmer, the better. While they don’t block as much sun, you've already sacrificed practicality with those platform shoes. Fashion over comfort, honey!

1. Arket, ReDown puffer jacket

2. Maison Margiela, Retrofit patent-leather sneakers

3. MAC, Retro matte lipstick

4. Le Specs x Adam Selman, The Coupe cat-eye metal sunglasses

5. H&M, short jersey unitard

Good thing tinted glasses are making a comeback, so we now have an excuse to own a pair in every color!

Today's streetwear fashion scene is full of style moguls combining tracksuit bottoms and cargo trousers and other unique ensembles. But did you know that this style originated from the Spice Girls? Mel C's go-to combos were utility trousers and a sports bra.

Today, flare pants have made a comeback, so we suggest you wear them like a true ‘90s legend. Dazzle everyone with a gold metallic sports bra and flared pants combo!
