From corduroy jackets, oversized suits, and tinted sunglasses, these 90's men's fashion icons rocked it all.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/kenzo-dome-nigo-sneaker-info" target="_blank" title="Introducing Kenzo-Dome, the Mid-90s Skater-Inspired Shoe by Nigo" rel="noopener">'90s</a> brought us many things, movies, music, and celebrity drama among them, but the unforgettable fashion is at the top of our list. Whether you picture grunge &agrave; la Kurt Cobain, Justin Timberlake-style <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/take-a-closer-look-at-the-first-wave-of-the-louis-vuitton-x-nigo-lv-collection" target="_blank" title="Take A Closer Look At The First Wave Of The Louis Vuitton x Nigo LV&sup2; Collection" rel="noopener">double denim</a>, or Britpop-inspired <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/sportswear-meets-couture-for-dior-mens-fall-2022" target="_blank" title="Sportswear Meets Couture for Dior Men&rsquo;s Fall 2022" rel="noopener">sportswear</a>, it's undeniable that '90s men's fashion was not only an era to celebrate, but perhaps one to channel in your own looks every now and again.
'90s men's fashion is all about nonchalance and effortless swagger. The simplicity of many iconic looks from '90s men's fashion is the key to their power. For example, take the humble t-shirt and blazer combination. Nothing about that look screams elevated high fashion, but for some reason, it just works&mdash;take it from <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/culture/keanu-reeves-best-moments-young-photos-the-matrix-90s" target="_blank" title="A Look Back at Young Keanu Reeves' Best Moments" rel="noopener">Keanu Reeves</a>.&nbsp;
We've seen a resurgence in '90s men's fashion countless times in the past few years, mainly by way of <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/best-cargo-pants-for-women-to-shop-style-fashion" target="_blank" title="15 Unique Cargo Pants to Upgrade Your Street Style" rel="noopener">cargo pants</a>, baggy dad-style jeans, and abstract patterns, both on the runway and in <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/best-mens-street-style-copenhagen-fashion-week-spring-summer-2024" target="_blank" title="The Best Men's Street Style Moments From Copenhagen Fashion Week SS24" rel="noopener">street style</a> looks.&nbsp;

Arguably, <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/culture/f1-british-grand-prix-2023-celebrities-brad-pitt-cara-delevigne" target="_blank" title="All the Celebrities Spotted at Formula One British Grand Prix 2023" rel="noopener">Brad Pitt</a> is the '90s men's fashion icon. He seems to have tried out every trend, from sweater vests to oval-shaped glasses to leather jackets, and they worked for him every time without fail.&nbsp;

Yet another big name in '90s men's fashion is <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/culture/a-look-back-at-leonardo-dicaprio-best-90s-moments" target="_blank" title="A Look Back At Leonardo DiCaprio's Best '90s Moments" rel="noopener">Leonardo DiCaprio</a>. The actor was at the very beginning of his career during the decade, and made a name for himself, both for his work, as well as for his dedication to his effortlessly stylish fashion choices.

Paul Rudd's breakout role in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/culture/we-re-totally-buggin-because-a-clueless-reboot-is-on-the-way" target="_blank" title="We're Totally Buggin' Because A 'Clueless' Reboot Is On The Way" rel="noopener">Clueless</a>&nbsp;(1995) was full of scenes of the actor in plaid shirts, graphic tees, and leather jackets, with some of the pieces coming from his own wardrobe.&nbsp;Clueless&nbsp;is famous for its quintessential '90s fashion, but the male lead is a '90s men's fashion icon in his own right, rocking classic, unforgettable looks like oversized <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/best-mens-fall-autumn-coats-shopping-menswear-fashion-trends" target="_blank" title="The Best Men's Fall Coats to Stay Cozy all Season Long" rel="noopener">wool coats</a>, corduroy jackets, and thick-framed glasses.

When we think of classic casual '90s men's fashion, our minds go straight to Keanu Reeves. The actor is famous for his hipster-<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/blackpink-jennie-bts-jungkook-alexa-demie-calvin-klein-fall-2023-campaign" target="_blank" title="Blackpink's Jennie, BTS' Jungkook &amp; More Go Grungey In Calvin Klein's Fall 2023 Campaign" rel="noopener">grunge</a> style, perfectly capturing that '90s nonchalance we can't get enough of.&nbsp;

No, Hugh Grant doesn't quite fit into that edgy, grungy category like some other 9'0s men's fashion icons, but he rocks the era's style in his own way, adding a touch of classic English elegance to the decade's trends.

Ethan Hawke rose to fame in the '90s for his breakout roles in Dead Poets Society (1989)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Before Sunrise&nbsp;(1995), but he was also well-known for his casual artsy aesthetic. The actor was often seen wearing corduroy jackets and baggy sweaters and rocking whatever facial hair trend was popular at the moment.&nbsp;

When you think of <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/hip-hop-most-iconic-shoes-adidas-nike-airjordan-clarks" target="_blank" title="8 Sneaker Trends that Started with Hip Hop" rel="noopener">Michael Jordan</a>, naturally, you probably think of basketball. Much less recognized however is the legendary athlete's mastery of that quintessential '90s men's fashion. Often photographed wearing oversized suits, funky abstract patterns, and simple casual outfits, Jordan became well-known for the effortless style he exuded.&nbsp;

Daniel Day-Lewis has become a style icon in recent years, often photographed in <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/top-5-mens-fashion-trends-fall-winter-2023-runway-menswear-wardrobe" target="_blank" title="Top 5 Men's Fashion Trends for Your Fall/Winter 2023 Wardrobe" rel="noopener">trendy workwear outfits</a> and chunky knitwear, but back in the '90s, he was regarded for his fashion in a completely different way. Day-Lewis mastered the elegance of the suit and was often seen on the red carpet in a sleek suit with unconventional accessories, like a silk scarf or even a velvet ribbon.&nbsp;
