Looking Back At 1993 Fashion Trends
One of the most popular fashion trends in the year 1993 was a complete overhaul of women’s clothing. Women were no longer shying away from wearing long dresses or evening gowns, but instead they dressed comfortably and confidently in everyday apparel. The color palette for the women of this year was as diverse as it was, offering an array of colors and styles that ranged from bright oranges, vivid pinks, rich browns to softer pastels. Fashion designers also combined red and yellow in unique ways, giving it a totally new meaning.
Another important trend was the use of embellishments such as sequins and rhinestones. This became popular on bracelets and earrings, but also became a signature accessory for pants and jackets. Bracelets were seen as a way to accessorize clothing and give them sparkle, but some of the more eccentric pieces of jewelry like skull rings and diamond studded necklaces were also becoming more commonplace. Rhinestone pins were also a sight on many wardrobes, adding to the bold fashion statements made by women in this year.
The year ended with a fashion parade taking place in New York City. Fashion designers opened their doors to the public and offered previews of their latest creations, much to the delight of fashionistas everywhere. It was a chance for them to display their wares and gain the interest of a general audience. These days, these fashion parades are often looked upon as fashion weeks, but back then they were just shown.
