Yeah, The mid-late 90s look is in vogue now.

Thought that look died in 2016 lol. I remember seeing it in 2014. It's not something that will age well imo so I avoided it.

Seems to want to be a bizarre combination of tie-dye (60s) and acid washed (80s). Doesn't work.  8-P

Okay, so somebody else thinks there's something none 90s about these shirts. They seem way more early 90s than mid or late. But I was very young in the early 90s and as I said before, the early 90s to me was like a completely different world compared to the rest of my life.

I really don't care for the first shirt. But more because of the logo, not the washed out look.

I would say this recent catalog from Pac Sun is a good representation of Late 2010s fashion:

As you could tell it takes influence from many fashion trends from the mid-late 90s. Between the emphasis on denim, the more darker templates, minimalist influences, and a return in fashion to a more looser fit feel in clothing (of course, not as loose fit/baggy as the 90s & 00s, but is still relatively more 'relaxed' than the skinny jean/jogger and tight V-Neck shirt trends of the early-mid 10s).

What we have here is a syllogism. Basically, it's pure logic.

Here is an example of a syllogism:

1) Peter is taller than Paul
2) Paul is taller than Parker
3) Therefore, Peter is taller than Parker

Our shirt syllogism might look like this:

1) 60s/80s style shirts begat 90s shirt
2) 90s shirt begat 2018 shirt
3) Therefore 60s/80s style shirts begat 2018 shirt

How do I access the rest of the catalog? That picture looks like it could've been taken anywhere between the second half of 1995 and the first half of 1998 rather than now. That's not even 90s inspired, that's straight up 90s

I honestly just found it online ;D. Just search up any popular brand clothing brand of today on Google Images (like Pac Sun, Champion, Gucci, etc.) and you'd see relatively similar trends in fashion. Heck, I see girls on my college campus wearing jean skirts again, something I haven't seen in years!

I dunno. Their clothes aren't baggy enough to be considered "straight-up '90s."  :D

True. 90s inspired, but you could definitely tell its from the modern era. Similar to how during the actual 90s many fashion trends incorporated elements from the 60s/70s (the Grunge movement with the emphasis on Flannel being a perfect example).
