Spice Girls reunion first. Then the return of Britney Spears , chosen by Kenzo as the face of the Memento N°2 collection. And now the appearance of the cast of Dawson's Creek on the cover of Entertainment Weekly to celebrate twenty years since the release of the cult series that made an entire generation of teenagers dream.

In short, if there were still skepticisms about the comeback of the 90s , the latest events are able to dispel any doubts. And if that weren't enough, to reaffirm the concept there are stylists and brands who for spring-summer 2018 have chosen to draw inspiration from the legendary Nineties , proposing garments and accessories destined to become the undisputed must-haves of the season, today as then.

From Friends' "Rachel" crop tops to Dr. Martens - a transgenerational fetish worn by numerous rock stars and influencers - we have selected 15 key pieces that will delight the most nostalgic.

The denim jacket

Raise your hand if you don't have at least one. The denim jacket is a true 90s wardrobe staple. Among its fans there are Rihanna - just take a look at her instagram profile to realize it - and Kaia Gerber, who wears it for work (she is testimonial of the Calvin Klein jeans line) and not.

The plaid shirt

Impossible to wear a plaid shirt without thinking about the grunge style. It is no coincidence that rock star Kurt Cobain made the success of this garment, who made it iconic by combining it with simple white t-shirts. The rest is history.

The Dr. Martens

Punk soul, super cool attitude. The famous amphibians with rubber soles and intense yellow visible stitching are an integral part of the Nineties phenomenon and have hordes of admirers all over the world. If at the time the trends were dictated by stars like Wynona Rider and Gwen Stefani, today the strongest inspirations come from social networks.

The velvet choker

Ubiquitous in 90s TV series and films - from Léon to Pulp Fiction - the velvet choker embodies the essence of the decade's iconic style. Today we find it in most of the fashion collections, including those of Dolce & Gabbana and Miu Miu, which re-propose it in a contemporary key.

The chenille top

We all had a chenille top and paired it with high-waisted jeans or long skirts, as well as the ever-present Dr. Martens. Today the diktat consists in combining it with essential and sophisticated garments, such as pied-de-poule motif trousers or coulottes models.

The maxi-wedges

Geri Halliwell made school with her very high and hyper-coloured wedges . Don't be scared though. The models proposed for spring-summer are decidedly more discreet and wearable than those worn with ease by the singer in the heyday of the Spice Girls .

The all logo bag

Logos on sweatshirts, logos on jackets, logos on accessories. Logo-mania returns to contaminate the wardrobe, bags included. A striking example is the legendary Saddle bag by Christian Dior , designed in the 90s by John Galliano (the original models are highly sought after) and re-proposed in the collection for autumn-winter 2018/19.

The crop top

Very short and form-fitting: these are the features of the crop top , the standard uniform of the characters from our favorite TV series, such as Rachel Green in Friends or Donna Martin in Beverly Hills 902010 . A trendy garment that takes us straight back to school and can be transformed into an interesting style complement. Just combine it with a pencil skirt and very high-waisted palazzo pants to obtain a refined and bon ton effect.

Sunglasses with round lenses

They are reminiscent of flower children and were probably one of the most coveted objects of desire of the time. If you haven't managed to grab them then, now is the time to do it again. The most popular frames of summer 2018 are in fact round, as are the lenses, shaded or mirrored.

The overalls

Nostalgics will particularly love this super versatile garment that seems to resist the passage of time very well. To show off during the day - with sneakers and flat shoes - and in the evening - with sandals or pumps - dungarees represent an excellent investment for the summer.

The flower dress

How can we not remember this type of dress? Long or short, they were worn alone or with a t-shirt. Among the many admirers of the genre are Alexa Chung, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Bosworth and Emma Watson.

The leotard

After 20 years, the leotard is once again the protagonist, taking us back in time. Once again Beverly Hills 90210 teaches: Brenda Walsh, Donna Martin and Kelly Taylor made extensive use of them, combining them with very high-waisted mom jeans.

The strap top with t-shirt

A cross between a tank top and a t-shirt that we liked so much and that we reserved for parties or important occasions. To be updated with masculine-cut trousers and a blazer.

The fanny pack

Incredible but true, among the must-haves of the season inspired by the 90s there is also the pouch. The good news is that the designers have really worked to update it in an ultra-chic key. Among the most coveted models is that of Miu Miu - in matelassé leather with a color block effect - spotted on the instagram feed of the new mother Chiara Ferragni .

The high waisted jeans

Our selection could only end with mom jeans , the high-waisted jeans often and willingly worn by our 90s idols. Do you remember the gorgeous Cindy Crawford immortalized by Jaques Ol in the 1998 Swish Jeans campaign?
