Fashion works within cycles. Celebrities bring some obscure style to life, it trickles down to the common folk, then it quickly dies away. All too often, the trend was uncomfortable, impractical, or even an abomination on the eyes, and its death is a welcome casualty.

But sometimes, terrible styles take on a second life, refusing to stay in the grave where they belong. Trendy youngsters rejuvenate the fads of old, deeming them "vintage" or "retro."

Yet another resurgence of tragic trends is now unfolding before us, bringing the unsightly attire of our adolescence back into our catalogs and onto our streets. The fashions popularized by Fresh Prince, Saved by the Bell, and countless more 90s style icons are now making a comeback. Below, we compile these returning trends as a cautionary tale to the teens — they shouldn’t have to make these same mistakes.
