One of the more popular and widely discussed 1994 fashion trends was the tie-dyed style. Ties were always a popular fashion accessory, and with this year’s style, tie dye was made into a full style with solid colors and intricate designs in every color imaginable. Ties were also a part of the 1994 music and dance selections, as well as print designs. Print and solid colors mixed with patterns were common, and most often bold block colors were used. The look was similar to that of the old “dotty” ties, but with a twist.
Another one of the more interesting 1994 fashion trends was the use of oversized clothing. This year, designers took advantage of the popularity of oversized clothing by making them into both evening and daytime wears. This included such pieces as tunics and Bohemian dresses as well as hooded sweatshirts and jackets. The addition of such large pieces in one fashion show meant that the overall look was more outlandish than ever before, and designers had no difficulty pulling off outrageous concepts.
A look that didn’t come to fashion until the mid-nineties was the baggy clothing style that involved a wide variety of colors, patterns, and prints. As these fashions became less of a fad and more of a trend, they began to fade out of fashion entirely. However, in 1994 it seemed as if everyone was back to their baggy hippie days, and fashions with bright colors were back on the charts. 1994 was also the year when grunge hit the scene, and elements of rock and roll were revitalized. This new style became more popular than ever, and is still a staple of fashion trends today.
