From chunky footwear that boosts one's height to minimal staples that can be mixed and matched with ease, it's clear that the '90s never left designers' mood boards. Take Stella McCartney, whose sock-style platform boot is reminiscent of a similar (less bulky) boot worn by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy—a true style icon of the time. Or emerging label Calle Del Mar. Known among the style set on Instagram for its fitted knitwear, the brand created one particular knit that resembles a top worn by Gwyneth Paltrow on the set of the classic '90s film Great Expectations. And then there's Princess Diana. The late royal's viral off-duty style has inspired many a designer to consider a more practical approach. Investing in an oversized puffer coat or a pair of bold biker shorts inspired by the princess is a no-brainer this season.

Regardless of your personal style, there is a variety of looks worth bookmarking for inspiration before doing your fall shopping. Just ahead, the 26 best fashion moments from the '90s and the key pieces you need to get the looks.
