Reclaiming 90s Fashion – Plus Size Style

Plus Size 90s Outfit Inspiration

I am a 90s kid so the resurgence of 90s fashion is not only nostalgic, it’s also cathartic for me. As a “chubby” teen, a lot of the fashions weren’t available in my size and/or my own body confidence was so nonexistent that I never would have dreamed of trying these outfits.

Now as an adult and with the world of fashion at my fingertips through the internet and the ability to purchase online from anywhere in the world, it’s been like a scavenger hunt mixing and matching pieces to create the looks that teenage Tara drooled over.

Outfit 1: Alicia Silverstone

The white tee under black dress is so quintessentially 90s. It was hard to assign a person to it, but I always visualize Cher Horowitz in her gym class outfit so Alicia it is!

This is very Liv Tyler in Empire Records. If you haven’t seen that movie you absolutely must.

Outfit 3: Gwen Stefani

To be fair, this isn’t exactly Gwen Stefani. She would have had a lot more going on, but a cropped top and plaid is very on brand for 90s her so here we are!
