Brace yourself, bike shorts are making a comeback
It's no secret that the 1990s have been responsible for some pretty interesting trends. Extremely low rise pants, scrunchies, tube tops... those were just a couple of items that we would rather not be in trend again. But because fashion is cyclical, inspirations from that decade have been cropping up in various street wear and runway looks for a few years now, causing us to feel—dare we say it—nostalgia for fashion from that era? Like it or not, the movement is set to continue in 2019, and may even intensify, with more vivid colors, acid wash jeans, crop tops, and even a major comeback for... wait for it, cycling shorts.
Here are four trends to look out for.
1. Fluorescent colours
With the exception of grunge, the '90s were dominated by flashy, fluorescent hues. Think highlighter-esque hues of pink, yellow and green that could stop traffic—perfect for the "look at me" attitude of our social media-obsessed generation. Expect a major comeback for this trend in 2019, whether it be in the form of small touches or more daring total looks. It's this season's standout trend, literally.
