Difficulty:

Moderate

Instructions

1. Wear a pair of relaxed jeans with a very brightly colored shirt for a casual 1990s dance party. This goes for males as well as females. If you are a girl with long hair, don't forget the scrunchie to match your shirt.

2. Bring back the longest-lived style of the 1990s by going grunge. This way of dress is typified by plaid flannel shirts, dark colors and the always popular Doc Marten shoes. Think Nirvana for the music at a 1990s grunge dance party.

3. Make a statement with retro clothes for a hippie look. Tie-dyed T-shirts and rose colored wireless frame glasses made a resurgence in the 90s. For a 1990s retro hippie dance party, you would have to listen to the Grateful Dead.

4. Dance to the rap stylings of Run DMC to get the feeling of another part of the 1990s. If this is the type of 1990s dance party you are attending, you will want to wear a backwards baseball cap, saggy jeans that are four sizes too large and a huge basketball jersey depicting your favorite team. Don't forget to wear the high top Nikes that were so popular in the 90s.

5. Dye your hair pink, blue or green to really get punk for the style that was all the rage in the late 90s. If you wear all black clothing you will have the perfect look while dancing to the Sex Pistols.

Tips & Warnings

• Any item of clothing that was fluorescent was popular in the 1990s.

• Don't make the mistake of wearing denim with an acid wash to a 1990s dance party. This fashion style was popular in the 1980s but was not favorable in the 90s.
