Hi everyone. I’m looking to develop a wardrobe inspired by early 90s youthful high school/college California style — think Saved by the Bell, but I want it to feel authentic and wearable in real life, not like a costume. I’d like the overall vibe to be colorful and fresh, avoiding dark or bleak colors, with minimal black.
I’m hoping to start with the essential pieces — the foundational items that really define the style. It would also be really helpful if anyone could share online stores or links to specific clothing items that fit this aesthetic, so I can make sure the pieces work together without clashing.
Additionally, I’d love advice for shopping: what to look for in terms of sizing, colors, patterns, or cuts to get that early 90s California look without it feeling over-the-top or inauthentic. Thanks in advance for any guidance!
