The Best Kelly Kapowski Outfits That Are So 2018
Are you ready for some serious '90s fashion and television nostalgia? Because today we're honing in on bombshell Saved by the Bell character Kelly Kapowski, taking you on a trip down memory lane as we highlight some of her best outfits from 20-plus years ago that are, you guessed it, still so on-trend today—proof, yet again, that everything in fashion cycles back around again at some point—and it makes it easy with all-things '90s being the current style obsession.
Now if you're unfamiliar with Kelly Kapowski, played by Tiffani Thiessen, there are two things you certainly need to know: she had the coolest clothes (the proof is in the picture below) and she was every teenage girl's style icon in the '90s—and it's easy to see why. With a wardrobe chock-full of high-waisted jeans, an endless supply of crop tops, and the cutest matching floral sets, Kapowski embraced every trend imaginable and rocked it with serious confidence. Ahead, see the best Kelly Kapowski outfits that are still so relevant today.
Floral Minidress
You can never go wrong with a floral print minidress, especially in the summertime.
High-Waisted Shorts + Button-Down Shirt + Slip-On Sneakers
A classic outfit combo that we'll never tire of? Denim shorts paired with a gingham button-down. Tie the top for a more casual feel.
Printed Two-Piece Sets + Keds
Fun printed two-piece sets are so on-trend for summer 2018, and we love how Kapowski paired hers with crisp white Keds.
Floral-Print Pants + Pastel Crop Top
Floral print has been having a serious moment as of late. Try a pair of flower-print pants, as Kapowski did, teaming them with a pastel-hued top.
Bodysuits + Funky Jackets
We can certainly picture Kim Kardashian West rocking this Kelly Kapowski outfit.
Printed Sports Bra + Leggings
The athleisure trend is still going strong, and we can't resist a good sports bra–and-leggings look.
Minidress + Dr. Martens
You can always turn to this outfit combo.
Suede Jacket + High-Waisted Jeans
The ultimate cool-girl uniform? A suede jacket and a classic pair of jeans.
Maxi Dress + Moto Jacket
Throw a cool moto jacket over a simple maxi dress for an easy but cool ensemble.
White Tee + Suspender Pants
Now this is '90s fashion in a nutshell, and we're fairly certain Rachel Green rocked a similar look too.
Crop Top + Floral Midi Skirt
Another outfit we guarantee you'll spot everywhere this summer.
Next up, check out all the pieces Rachel Green would wear today.
