When I tell you that ’90s Prada has a hold on me, I can’t even begin to explain how strong that hold is. The ’90s heavily impact my personal style, but Prada’s specific take on pared-back minimalism is something that I think about a lot. Pieces like simple strappy dresses, ribbed-knit polos, maxi skirts, and inventive nylon designs are hallmarks of Prada’s collections from the decade that feel just as relevant now as they did when they originally debuted on the runways.

With Prada’s collection of re-edition pieces bringing back iconic designs, including the 1995 bag that Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy famously carried, I’ve been thinking even more about ’90s Prada and how I can tap into it now. If you similarly subscribe to the aesthetic, I’ve hunted down pieces to add to your closet. Here, you’ll find everything from Prada pieces that take inspiration from the original ’90s items to designs that are influenced by the styles that originally debuted decades earlier.
