The most significant event was the rise of grunge fashion in 1992. [1]Grunge fashion consisted of both sexes wearing flannel shirts and other typical outdoor clothing, often bought in thrift shops. The general appearance was unkempt and androgynous. This fashion was made popular by Seattle-based band Nirvana and its lead singer Kurt Cobain. The grunge look lasted until the end of the decade.[citation needed] Retro clothing inspired by the 1960s and 1970s was also popular for much of the 1990s.[citation needed] Navel piercing became a trend in the early 1990s, this was followed by other types of body piercing

In the early 1990s, as an alternative to grunge, the tight lycra or black leather mini skirt, also known as a tube skirt, which began as a trend in the mid-1980s, continued to be popular. This was especially so in Europe. These skirts were often paired with long blazers, which would continue to be worn throughout the decade. Tank tops, often of silk or synthetic silk were in style. The cinch-belt was a trendy accessory. Mini dresses in Lycra were also worn, and these often featured built-in bra cups. Sequined and lace cocktail dresses were also briefly popular in 1990-1991. Inspired by Michelle Pfeiffer's performance of Catwoman in the 1992 film Batman Returns, the catsuit enjoyed popularity. British singer Victoria Beckham would later be seen wearing a black catsuit in several Spice Girls videos. These were usually made of latex, PVC, or Spandex and often worn with high-heeled boots. From the beginning of the decade, boots were to be popular winter footwear throughout the 1990s. The black leather jacket for men and women was a popular trend. As in the previous decade, the American singer Madonna continued to be a fashion inspiration for girls and young women. Belly button piercing became a hit in 1991 among teenage girls, young women, and was even briefly present among young men. This led to the introduction of belly shirts that left the belly uncovered to expose the belly button. Other types of body piercing became popular later in the decade, and lasted into the 2000s.Stüssy, Mambo and The Custard Shop were prominent sports fashion labels during the mid-nineties.
