When we launched our Rad in Plaid lookbook this week I immediately thought of My So Called Life. There is no question that it is the TV show I have related to the most and it may have only lasted one season, but that one season was good enough to still stand out in my mind as one of the best shows of all time. Angela Chase and Rayanne Graff were the epitome of 90’s fashion, wearing plaid mixed with florals, mis-matched prints, layers upon layers and pulling it off with an effortlessness that was always so inspiring. I always admired Rayanne’s free spirit and wild attitude, but I think deep down I related much more to Angela. I see elements of both in our Rad In Plaid lookbook and I’m excited that this trend is having a moment again, because it has always been a favorite of mine. See how to get Angela and Rayanne’s looks below with some of our current product!

Im in high school right now, so it’s crazy to think people dressed like this back then! i like it though :)
I love the 90’s! The grunge look appeals to me very much! I also love the outfits Britney & The Spice Girls wore during their performances ( bandana shaped tops, wide leg pants, chunky platform shoes). I think it was a transitional decade fashion-wise, because the 80’s styles were definitely in the mix, but new silhouettes and ideas came about as well. I like seeing these trends come back!
