After the “pale” 80s came the “bright” 90s, and although we could not boast of particularly beautiful and high-quality clothes, not only young ladies, but also men “disappeared” in the pursuit of fashionable things. Young people, fathers, grandfathers of Russia also wanted to dress “fashionably”. But in those days this concept was interpreted somewhat differently than it is now.
Style features, if any
Men's clothing of the 90s is a cry from the soul of someone drowning in dirt, routine and lack of money. The poorer the people became, the more they wanted to stand out from the gray mass and attract attention.. There were no stylish “fashion setters” for mere mortals at that time, so bright clothes were considered the most “in” acid and leather clothing and shoes.
Everything “American” was valued”, although, of course, the real brand still had to be found. were considered USA things with foreign inscriptions and labels. Even jeans that had been boiled in vinegar or bleach were then neatly trimmed with “brand” logos.
Clothes sewn with one’s own hands were not particularly valued; one wanted to “look like everyone else.”That is Having a jacket, jeans or a hat, which every third person had, meant a real “cool”.
Overall this is incredible the era will forever remain under the auspices of the slogan “we survived as best we could,” and this also applied to clothing. They didn’t know about any style laws; they wore what they managed to “catch” and what they could earn money on.
Sweaters and jumpers
The brightest representative of the 90s was Romanian sweater "Boys" and similar knitted items. Almost every self-respecting teenager had such a “friend” in his wardrobe. It looked great against jeans (the most “tasty” outfit), and with sweatpants, and with green slacks with pleats in the front. You could put a shirt under it - warm and cozy, fashionable and relevant!
Older men wore warm knitted sweaters with zippers or buttons. The color is predominantly olive or gray-green, the patterns are varied, most often geometric.
Black and gray striped raglan with a round neck and textured finish, it was considered a fashionable lining for leather jackets and an addition to sports pants. The “cool” guys in the area sometimes added black caps with a lapel for a serious look.
Sports items
These clothes were a priority among local fashionistas and the “cool”. First, bright eye-catching combinations came into fashion suits made from smooth raincoat fabric, then from matte reaper. The Olympic shorts were separated from the pants and worn to discos, studies, shooters, fights... These were Truly versatile items! They went well with trousers, jeans, and other sweatpants.
Hats
There wasn't much choice. In winter, wealthier men sported fur hats made from muskrat, honorik and other fur-bearing animals. Periodically they became victims of thieves and hooligans. They were considered cool leather caps (in another way - “Luzhkovsky”). The less wealthy layer of the male population moved in the cold to black elastic hats and cockerels. By the end of the 90s, they were in fashion hats with buboes on top.
Came into fashion again Sunglasses like a Ray-Ban, round ones in a thin metal frame looked no less stylish. Frameless glasses of different colors were sold on every corner.
Orient watches were valued for their stylish design by the standards of the 90s, excellent “old-fashioned” quality, and ideal appearance.

I remember they bought slacks for my brother, circa 94-95, the size didn’t fit. They gave me... Winter, an ice slide... I erased them in an hour... Then for about another week I received bream from my dad... I was 8 years old???
Down jackets Diadora, green)))
And my mother from Poland brought me a two-cassette tape recorder with flashing lights on the speakers. The speakers came unfastened. And a Polaroid with an instant photo. She also brought lemonade in a one and a half liter bottle, and I drank it for 2 weeks, one sip at a time, and kept the bottle in the sideboard for a couple of years.
My coolness knew no bounds.
Raspberry jacket - “Not everyone was allowed to wear such clothes.” Blocher, where does such knowledge of 90s fashion come from? The crimson jacket is not the tattoo you were responsible for. They wore whatever they had enough money for, and no one asked anyone whether or not to wear a crimson jacket.
Did you recognize two of our bandits in the photo????
Where is Alaska?
Eh, the first photo is against the backdrop of the SKK...
Demolished
I liked it, but it feels like the author describes everything 10 years earlier, that is, the years he describes are minus 10 years.
I still wear a raincoat tracksuit from the 90s at the dacha)) An indestructible thing!
I remembered, I even shed tears, in the 90s I was 20 and it seemed like the whole world was at your feet
How does this bother you?
And in 1993 I was a metalhead and my fashion was unique. By the way, much cooler than many in the photos. Even now I think so. Let's start: high-top sneakers must be black, camouflage breeches sewn by my mother, a black RDP hoodie (Ratos de porao) and, like, a metallica baseball cap. No rivets or other bullshit. The “native” hoodie was bought for crazy money on the “gorbushka”. In general, the whole style was in the spirit of the Sepultura group. And of course, long hair.
Oh yeah! I have such a leather raincoat from those times! Yes, with a fur lining to boot! But it’s heavy, damn it...
Yeees.It’s funny to look at celebrities... Urgant and Malakhov, I probably can’t look at photos of those years without tears...
The girl doesn't seem to know at all. Anyone who lived and dressed up at that time will probably remember that the 80s were the heyday of the Disco style. In addition, the 80s began with the Moscow Olympics. Jeans became available, including washed and non-classical cut (pyramids, bananas), bright T-shirts, multi-colored jackets, women's jackets with shoulders, light men's slacks, etc. And the 90s began with dark events and corresponding clothing - black and brown leather, shapeless down jackets, etc. Crimson jackets, of course, were found, but this was rather the exception...
Where are the famous “Telaga” padded jacket and “Dutik” winter boots)))!?
Where are the down jackets, Alaska, the sheepskin coat?
There are some lessons in the photo!
As for shoes, it seems to me that Salamander was held in high esteem among both young and older people
“By the end of the 90s, hats with buboes on the top were in fashion”
Author, with what other BUBONS?
From the bubonic plague, or what?
A ball of thread is called a POMPON.
Yes..... Now you look, laughter and sin! But it was, it was…..
Jeans were valued in a loose style. They were called by manufacturer - Malvinas, Pyramids, Levis. There were “bananas” and “pipes”.
Dear author. You mixed three periods that succeeded each other.
Let me explain: bananas - early to mid 80s. Pyramids - 89-91. Malvina 90-93Levi's 501 is a classic. They have always been worn, including now. Pipes - (usually checkered) 89-91 g.
A little later, wrangler jeans loved skins. Bomber jacket and boots from camelot and grinders. However, not only skins, but also representatives of other subcultures wore heavy boots. For example, punks and metalheads. Then the youth, except for the Gopniks, were divided into various subcultural movements.
Watch “Montana” 16 melodies. In winter - boots on the feet
The “ancestor” of the fashion for crimson jackets was the well-known Sergei Mavrodi, who spoke with New Year’s greetings on one of the main channels in the 90s (now I don’t remember exactly what year)
Shirts made of boiled silk, mostly side and marsh. Jackets made of “crack” - well, the leather is so shiny. Sheepskin coats are washed or impregnated, hats are mink and cooler, if not blende. Yes, the men looked like men (despite the fact that now the photos cause a smile and even laughter). What about the current ones??
Sometimes I dress like this even now: sweatpants, sneakers, a sweatshirt and a cotton jacket on top. My wife swears: 40 years, but you can’t get out of the 90s. But I like it, the main thing is that it’s convenient for me. How do young people dress now? You look, it’s not clear what gender.
The second photo is Vladivostok, 95-97, there really were a lot of jeans, there were a lot of bandits, showdowns, who are you, who is the roof, how many can come to the arrow of the roof gang, who is dad and mom, gopats darkness... And yet they lived, they dressed according to the brand in the markets and didn’t roll cotton wool, didn’t fall on the wing in any mess... Jeans, Adidas, Reebok, Mantana were in fashion, clothes aroused respect... Now it’s not like that, of course, everything is more primitive, the police are the protector of all suckers and lawless people, an incident in general... .
Around 1995, skinny straight jeans were already in fashion, but not loose-fitting ones. As a rule, they were either black or ink, and cockerel hats were worn either by pensioners or very young children. By this time, there were no longer Malvinas, much less pyramids, the fashion for which ended in the year 1992, or even in 1991, as well as baseball caps with the inscription USA. Slacks lasted a little longer - somewhere until 95-97, but either pensioners or Caucasians wore them in the markets.
How have Alaskan jackets, Chinese down jackets and Montana electronic watches been forgotten?
Those were hard times)) girls, crimson penzhak)) white nine)) gold chain as thick as an arm...)) I remembered, shed a tear... eh...
What about the Montana watch?
Boilers: Komandirskie, Polyot, CITIZEN, CASIO.
Clothes for the summer: Adiki on the legs, Reebok on the body - an option in the area. Inspectors, white slacks, dark silk shirt showing off.
jackets: Leather bomber with a collar, klubnyak (bike bomber), pilot.
bOrsetka! ?
And no one seemed to notice Seryoga Bodrov... Rest in peace, great actor
in the 90s things were even better quality than today's branded crap in boutiques!!!!
As for sneakers: black adidas superstar and gray-green adidas equipment were popular on the market. Reebok, even among Pali, was the lowest quality. Adidas and Chicago Bulls tracksuits, which were almost identical. There was also a reversible adidas originals elongated jumper. Like a light jacket - dark blue on one side, gray on the other. Adidas was generally one of the most striking symbols of that time.
And in the 5th photo, Malakhov, in this outfit, apparently just got off the train, which arrived from the city of Apatity. Urgant too, apparently, only from the Leningradsky station
I remember slacks, inspector boots, high-top Reebok sneakers, winter down jackets from Vietnam, Malvina jeans also from Vietnam, winter Pilot jackets. Well, yes – the tracksuits were wrinkled, it was very cool. And at the end of the 90s I remember that pipe trousers came into fashion (these are straight, narrow trousers), they could be bought at the Sash store.
Alaska (jacket), zimaki (winter sneakers), denim skirt and dumpling skirt with buttons on the front, white loose-fitting T-shirt, leggings, black leather jacket, sports. costume.
