The decade of the 1990s is making a major fashion comeback in styles from slip dresses to grunge-inspired plaid flannel. Another throwback Nineties trend we love is the return of lush, touchable fabrics like velvet and corduroy in everything from dresses to jumpsuits.
Nineties nostalgia is set to continue for seasons to come if the cool runway looks from top labels at Fashion Week are anything to go by. Fall and winter is the perfect time to rock the velvet and corduroy fashion trend which is practical, warm and wearable.
Scroll through to see the elegant, sensual pieces from the catwalk and get inspired for your own '90s-inspired outfits.
A velvet pantsuit
Perfect for evening, this deep blue velvet pantsuit by Elie Saab is as fashion-forward as it is elegant, with slim-cut pants and a tuxedo jacket with contrasting black lapels.

A corduroy jumpsuit
A corduroy jumpsuit like this utilitarian version in grey by Búl is an instant wardrobe updater. On the catwalk, it was styled with brogues, but you can also slip into some cool platforms to complete the look.
Thigh-high velvet boots
Nicolas Jebran's haute couture show featured a dramatic burgundy cape dress that sparkled on the catwalk. The look was set off with another '90s trend, thigh-high velvet boots to match.
A velvet cape
An LBD goes next-level when teamed with a black velvet cape, like in this look from Miu Miu. Semi-sheer black tights and a pop of color with hot pink shoes are the finishing touches for the perfect winter going-out look.
High-waisted corduroy pants
The vintage charm of corduroy appeared in paper bag waisted pants during the Cyclas show at Paris Fashion Week. It's a great look to go day to night, from the office to happy hour.
A velvet coat dress
Chanel is always a runway to watch for the latest trends filtered through a timeless lens. At the French fashion house's Haute Couture Week show, velvet took center stage in statement dresses like this bright fuchsia double-breasted coat dress.
A crushed velvet trench
Liu Chao gave a nod to the '90s with a crushed velvet trench dress worn over matching trousers. Even the color gives a throwback vibe, in one of the hottest shades of the decade, forest green.
A pea coat
The pea coat is back and better than ever, updated for the 2020s. A.W.A.K.E. MODE presented this version with oversized lapels and a midi skirt during London Fashion Week.
A little Black Dress
MSGM's LBD in black velvet featured a boat neck and statement sleeves (another must-wear trend!). The '90s-inspired outfit was accessorized with more retro pieces: stirrup tights and two-toned shoes.
