Devotees of throwback fashion, rejoice: ‘90s and early aughts trends continue to make their presence known on runways and celebs alike, which means your favorite yesteryear styles aren’t going anywhere just yet. If you’re ready to double-down on the revival — I know I certainly am — this curated shopping guide has rounded up 10 of the best pieces for a welcome dose of nostalgia.

Whether you’re shopping for effortless daywear or evening-worthy attire, accessories or statement pieces, there’s bound to be something retro here that you can’t resist.

For something with year-round staying power, consider a timeless minimalist black slip dress that you’ll wear long after the seasons have changed.
