Now that boot weather is in full swing, I've noticed that many of the trends in the footwear market are inspired by '90s fashion. This isn't a surprise, as a lot of things in

fashion are just throwbacks. Many brands often look toward archived or vintage silhouettes for new market, so it makes sense that you get a little flashback when looking at new trends. Plus, I've found myself on a specific niche of social media (mostly TikTok) of girls thrifting their dream 2021 trends, and '90s boots seem to be a common theme among their finds. I've found that "nostalgic" styles, especially from the '90s, are often timeless, as that period of fashion was the blueprint for minimalistic style. (Think Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy or Jennifer Aniston—they were often seen dressed in the basics.) Even though I consider myself to be on the maximal end of the fashion spectrum, I like to keep my shoes on the simpler side so they can be styled easily.

The nostalgic styles happen to be my favorite of the boot market right now, so I rounded them up for you to sift through. They've been seen on the runways, all over fashion month's street style stars, and on your favorite fashion folks' Instagram feeds. There are six specific '90s styles that have made a comeback for 2021 fashion and have staying power. You can read about and shop them below.
