Nineties nostalgia
60 things we loved about the 1990s
Gary Barlow, grunge and light-wash denim are back - proving the nineties are now officially retro. In this week's issue of Stylist, we explore why the decade that brought us the 'Rachel' haircut is suddenly cool again - meaning it's high time we indulged in a heady dose of 1990s nostalgia. We all know Friends, Britpop and the Spice Girls defined the era, so we've revisited those other nineties fads we knew and loved from the world of food, fashion and culture. In the world of PJ and Duncan, let's get ready to 'Rhumble'...

Adidas shell suits
As this picture of Mel 'Sporty Spice' C shows, Adidas sportswear was the height of nineties fashion. The cool kids at school had one with poppers down the side - everyone else settled for the cheap two-stripe knockoffs.

The Babysitter's Club
If you were a pre-teen girl in the 1990s, The Babysitter's Club series were the only books to borrow from your School Library. How we lusted after Claudia's wardrobe and private telephone, sympathized with Stacey's plight with diabetes, and attempted (poorly) to set up a Babysitter's Club of our own.

So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle,

Clarissa Explains It All
Melissa Joan Hart stole our hearts as plucky teenager with the. coolest. room. ever. We could totally relate to her annoying brother Ferguson, and cute best friend/neighbour Sam, who had no qualms about climbing into her room on a regular basis.
