The 90s hold incredible memories for those of us who are in our mid to late 20s. In fact, we'll defend this era to death if we have to.

Skinny jeans were created as a form of revenge on Rave and JNCO jeans...

But, despite all the fashion missteps of the 90s, we wouldn't trade it for the world, honey!
