===Fashion and body modification=== {{Main|1990s in fashion}} Significant fashion trends of the 1990s include: *Earth and jewel tones, as well as an array of minimalist style and design influences, characterize the 1990s, a stark contrast to the camp and bombast seen in the brightly colored fashion and design trends of the [[1980s in fashion|1980s]]. *[[Rachel haircut|The Rachel]], [[Jennifer Aniston]]'s hairstyle on the hit TV show ''[[Friends]]'', became a cultural phenomenon, with millions of women copying it worldwide. *The [[Hi-top fade]] was trendy among [[African-Americans]] in the early 1990s. *The [[Curtained hair|Curtained Haircut]] increased in popularity in fashion and culture among teenage boys and young men in the 1990s, mainly after it was popularized in the film ''[[Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]'' by the actor [[Edward Furlong]]. *The model 1300 [[Wonderbra]] style has a resurgence of popularity in Europe in 1992, which kicks off an international media sensation, the 1994 return of "The Wonderbra" brand, and a spike in the push-up, plunge bras around the world. *Additional fashion trends of the 1990s include the [[Tamagotchi]], [[Inline skates|Rollerblades]], [[Pogs]] and [[Dr. Martens]] shoes. *Bleached-blond hair became very popular in the late 1990s, as were men with short hair with the bangs "flipped up." *The 1990s also saw the return of the 1970s teenage female fashion with long, straight hair and denim [[Hotpants|hot pants]]. *''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'' sideburns also became popular in the early and mid-1990s. *[[Slap bracelet]]s were a popular fad among children, preteens, and teenagers in the early 1990s and were available in a wide variety of patterns and colors. Also popular among children were light-up sneakers, [[jelly shoes]], and shoelace hair clips. *The [[Grunge]] hype at the beginning of the decade popularized [[flannel]] shirts among both genders during the 1990s. *[[Heroin chic]] appeared sporadically across film, fashion models and grunge music, but gave way by end of the US recession and the emergence of internet "geek" culture (a sassy tech-literate style centered on web searching and drinking coffee). *Grunge- and [[hip-hop]]-inspired anti-fashion saw an expansion of the slouchy, casual styles of past decades, mostly seen in baggy and distressed jeans, cargo shorts and pants, baseball caps (often worn backward), chunky sneakers, oversized sweatshirts, and loose-fitting tees with [[Grandiloquence|grandiloquent]] [[graphics]] and [[logos]]. *[[2000s in fashion|Svelte fashion]] was also popular from the beginning of the 1990s and into the 2000s, as the new millennium began. The rivalry of sloppy grunge fashion versus more expensive clothing made for fitter bodies was a repeat of the rock versus disco rivalry of a decade ago. Nineties fashion became darker, slinkier, and more [[Science fiction|futuristic-looking]] clothing in the late 1990s, with Keanu Reeves in The Matrix as a style icon. *[[Tattoo]]s and [[Body piercing|piercings]] became part of the [[wikt:mainstream|mainstream]] aesthetic. American model [[Christy Turlington]] revealed her [[Navel piercing|belly button piercing]] at a fashion show in London in 1993. In the late 1990s, some females got [[Lower-back tattoo|lower back tattoos]] and men opted for tribal style arm bands or back pieces. <gallery widths="190" perrow="5"> File:Tamagotchi_0124_ubt.jpeg|[[Tamagotchi]] and [[Furby]] were popular iconic toys among children around the world in the 1990s, also in the 2000s File:Kids playing pogs.jpeg|[[Pogs]] was a popular street game among children around the world during the decade File:Jonathan Brandis Wiki.jpg|[[Grunge]]-style fashion became a trend in the 1990s, modeled here by teen actor [[Jonathan Brandis]] File:Dr Martens, black, old.jpg|Boots like [[Timberland (company)|Timberlands]] and [[Dr. Martens]] became popular.
