90s Fancy Dress Ideas for Men & Women

90s fancy dress covers shell suits, hip-hop tracksuits and grunge, so a group can raid the whole decade and still look like they planned it. These are our favourite ready-to-wear 90s costumes for men and women, sorted by the look you are after.

How we chose: we favour complete outfits, one-glance recognisable 90s detail like shell-suit stripes and gold chains, and looks you can wear over your own clothes. Each pick links to its product page and shows what it is best for and a rough price band, so you can choose fast.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good 90s costume for a group?

Matching shell suits work for a crew, and each person can pick a different colour so no two look the same. A shared hip-hop theme with tracksuits and gold chains also ties a group together.

What is the easiest last-minute 90s outfit?

A gold chain and a tracksuit you already own read as 90s in minutes. Add a fanny pack and trainers and the look is done.

How do I dress for a 90s theme if I hate dressing up?

Keep it simple with a grunge look. A striped baggy shirt over a band tee with ripped jeans passes for 90s without a full costume.
