Topshop Unique Has Reminded Us of So Many Forgotten '90s Trends
Remember when you used to be a hippy and a hot R & B–loving girl at the same time? Or when a rave night in Brighton was just as important as hitting up Camden on a Saturday afternoon to stock up on the world-traveller pieces you couldn't secure before your long-awaited gap year arrived? Yes, that was my '90s teenage routine, and if Topshop Unique has anything to do with our current shopping habits (obviously!), then it's time to revisit the looks that came with it.
Think cargo pants worn with going-out tops. Asymmetric, bias-cut floral slip dresses that have torn away from the body after a wild night. The kind of vintage-look shearling coats that you wanted after you watched Almost Famous for the first time. Baja surfer-girl pullovers that work just as easily with a skirt as they do with a bikini come beach season. Keep scrolling to see the runway looks, and shop some of the key pieces available to buy right now.

Whether your spiritual home is London, Goa or Ibiza, the dress code has the same vibe. Make it eclectic. Throw it on. "Live in the moment," says the Topshop Unique press release. Go forth, and have fun! And you know what's fun? The fact that you can shop the collection from the runway without delay. First dibs on the new tricolour clubbing handbags and the sloppy daisy intarsia sweater. Keep scrolling to shop the Topshop Unique collection straight from the runway.
