" The &amp;#039;90s are back. Again. Still! It&amp;#039;s the decade that just won&amp;#039;t die, and thank god for that! But looking &amp;#039;90s-hot doesn&amp;#039;t have to mean dressing like you&amp;#039;ve just stepped out of a time machine. Six of the &amp;#039;90s biggest trends have returned for Spring 2014, and if you wear them right, they&amp;#039;re guaranteed to leave you looking very now. 1.Chokers Chokers were the accessory of choice in the &amp;#039;90s. There were plastic tattoo chokers, neon raver chokers, candy chokers, and if you were Princess Diana, even pearl-and-diamond-encrusted chokers. Well, guess what? They&amp;#039;re back, and they&amp;#039;re so much better this time around. Now chokers often rest at the base of your neck, instead of on your throat, and the pendants that hang from them aren&amp;#039;t just dinky little hearts and &amp;quot;hope&amp;quot; medallions \u2014 they&amp;#039;re bigger, heavier, and more abstract. In a word: badass! They look great with high crew-neck tops, but they work even better with deep plunging Vs. And they&amp;#039;re perfect for bringing a cool, sexy edge to blazer or tuxedo jacket. Also, because they&amp;#039;re so short, they&amp;#039;re great for framing your face, and unlike with longer necklaces, you&amp;#039;ll never have to worry about them getting lost in your cleavage when you wear them with something low-cut.   The future former Mrs. Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis, in 1992. Clockwise from the top left: Choker Pendant Necklace, PAMELA LOVE, $255; Black Blazer, JOHN LEWIS, $200; Silver Ankle Booties, SOLES, $160; Gunmetal Watch, MARC BY MARC JACOBS, $275; Black Asymmetrical Leather Skirt, ALICE &amp;amp;amp; YOU, $45 2. Destroyed, High-Waisted Denim In the &amp;#039;90s jeans were high, tight and often ripped up. I&amp;#039;m not just talking about a little distressing at the knees. These jeans were wrecked, and they looked all the better for it.  Back then it was all about wearing those high, tight jeans with a tight, usually cropped, top, but these days the look is a bit more relaxed. The jeans are boyfriend cut, so they&amp;#039;re a little looser and sit lower on your hips (sort of like sagging \u2014 another oh-so-&amp;#039;90s trend), and you should wear them with something loose and slouchy, like an oversize T-shirt, or stiff and boxy, like a neoprene sweatshirt. Dress them up with high heels and sparkly jewelry, and add a little extra &amp;#039;90s flavor with fun prints and neon.   Halle Berry flashing her booty in LIFE Magazine in 1992. Clockwise from the top left: Stone Statement Necklace, BAR III, $38; Fuchsia Top, J BRAND, $195; Floral Cap, ACCESSORIZE, $23; Black-and-White Pumps, JEFFREY CAMPBELL, $135; Distressed Denim, ONE TEASPOON, $145  3. Baby Tees Back in the &amp;#039;90s it was all about showing off your stomach with low-cut jeans and a high-cut top, but nowadays wearing a tiny tee doesn&amp;#039;t necessarily have to mean flashing your belly button. The chicest crop tops now come with matching skirts that usually sit at or just below your natural waist, so that just a slice of skin is visible instead of your whole stomach. They come in every imaginable color, texture, and shape, and they&amp;#039;re pretty much the sexiest things happening for spring 2014.   Reese Witherspoon just kidding around in her baby tee in 1996. Clockwise from the top left: Mint Jacquard Crop Top, BCBGMAXAZRIA, $198; Mint Jacquard Peplum Skirt, BCBGMAXAZRIA, $198; Cream Biker Jacket, RIVER ISLAND, $120; Gemstone Stacking Rings, ACCESSORIZE, $16; Nude Crossbody Bag, DANIELLE NICOLE, $58; Black Lace-Up Booties, STEVE MADDEN, $139 4. Slip Dresses These barely-there spaghetti-strapped dresses were all over the spring runways, but this time around, you don&amp;#039;t have to be Kate Moss-skinny to pull one off. The new slip dress is softer, less clingy, and sometimes even pleated. You can wear it on its own with a nude strappy shoe, which is also very &amp;#039;90s. Or you can have a little fun with it and go more boho \u2014 a flat leather sandal, some stackable rings, and a jacket or oversize cardigan covered in one of spring&amp;#039;s other major trends: fringe!   Kate Moss \u2014 the everything of everything \u2014 walking the runway for Marc Jacobs in 1996. Clockwise from the top left: Nude Pleated Dress, RIVER ISLAND, $60; Gold Stacking Rings, JULES SMITH, $98; Navy Embroidered Shawl, FREE PEOPLE, $298; Gold Studded Sandals, DUNE, $99  5. Fanny Packs They&amp;#039;re calling them belt bags now, but you get the gist. Karl Lagerfeld sent them down the runway at the spring Chanel Couture show, and Cameron Diaz said she&amp;#039;s designing a few for the next Pour La Victoire collection, so, yes, they&amp;#039;re making a comeback.  It&amp;#039;s not just the name that&amp;#039;s different, though. It&amp;#039;s the styling too. While fanny packs are bulky and usually made of nylon or cotton, belt bags are sleek; they&amp;#039;re leather and they&amp;#039;ve got real metal hardware, not just some big plastic buckle. You can wear them around your waist or across your back like a messenger bag. They also look totally cool with a miniskirt and coordinating accessories.    Tiffani Amber Thiessen looking very Kelly Kapowski in 1990. Clockwise from the top left: Yankees Cap, 59FIFTY, $35; Washed Denim Button Down, AEROPOSTALE, $30; Black Belt Bag, NASTY GAL, $25; White Striped T-Shirt, SANCTUARY, $44; Chain and Stud Earrings, RACHEL RACHEL ROY, $26; Black Open Toe Booties, BCBGENERATION, $83; Red and Blue Floral Skirt, HOUSE OF HOLLAND, $177 6. Overalls You thought you were through with them forever after elementary school, but they&amp;#039;re back with a vengeance \u2014 this time in denim and leather \u2014 and there&amp;#039;s definitely a trick to pulling them off. First, the fit. A good pair of overalls should be a little slouchy, but still skim the body \u2014 none of that TLC-JNCO-jeans nonsense. The shirt, too, should be a little loose, but not so big that it sticks out the sides of the overalls. A cool leather jacket over your shoulders is never a bad idea, and high heels or a dressy pair of flats is a must. And one more thing: One strap undone might have been the thing in the &amp;#039;90s, but in 2014 it&amp;#039;s two straps all the way. Condom pins, however, are still optional.   TLC doing whatever it took to get the word out about safe sex in 1994.
