For youth, the fashion of the decade began with Grunge on
one hand and preppie on the other. Hip Hop style was
popular. Boys' jeans have grown bigger and bigger, worn
low on the hips, and girls are wearing bellbottoms and poor
boy tops reminiscent of the 70's. Over $6 billion was spent
by fast food places on uniforms. Designers included Liz
Claiborne, DKNY,and Tommy Hilfinger. Dress down Fridays
became commonplace and gradually developed into a more
casual work dress code altogether, with 53% of companies
allowing casual dress in 1998, up from 7 % in 1992. Khaki
pants and polo shirts or denim shirts were the work-place
norm. New fabrics such as microfiber and tencel competed
with the ever-popular cotton and linen. Consumer spending
on clothing dropped from 4.6% in 1990 to 1% in 1995. While
interest in health and nutrition has increased, obesity was at
a record high. Fads include Tae-bo, in-line skates, beanie
babies, Furby, Tickle Me Elmo, WWJD, Yo-yos, tattoos and
body piercing, and the video games.
