There's no doubt that '90s nostalgia is at a high point―especially in fashion, which often reflects deeper cultural trends. In the spirit of the current '90s revival, we're ranking the most stylish movies of the decade (that look more relevant than ever now).
13. Clueless
"You don't understand, this is an Alaïa," famously pleads Cher Horowitz when held up at gunpoint in the 1995 film that made a case for everything from yellow plaid skirt suits to simple silk slip dresses.
12. Boogie Nights
OK, it's a bit of a cheat because it's set in yet another decade. But Paul Thomas Anderson's take on '70s sleaze is about as good-humored in its approach to the fashion of the era as you'd expect, which may account for its uneasy but stylish characters, who retain their appeal even at their most ludicrous. Bring back these collars, please.
11. Reservoir Dogs
The charismatic antiheroes of Reservoir Dogs are draped in all-black suits for much of the movie, rendering the gang's stylish, slo-mo saunter from diner to cars instantly iconic.
10. White Men Can't Jump
Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes are the street style heroes we need.
9. The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski is a touchstone for every man who's ever worn a robe outdoors and that's enough for us. The Dude never wore a tailored suit or slick designer threads but he embodied the spirit of athleisure before that was even a word. Also: that sweater.
8. Fight Club
Fight Club proves itself eminently stylish, playing Brad Pitt's sleezy, '90s post-rave look against Ed Norton's drab office drone uniform. The red leather jacket really says it all.
7. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
This is the most iconic bucket hat since Gilligan's Island. Plus, camp-collar shirts have yet to meet their maker.
6. Empire Records
Don't record store employees always seem to have the best style? Just look at that cardigan layering game.
5. Romeo and Juliet
It's Leo as Romeo skulking around floral-print shirts and, when the occasion calls for it, suits with floral-print ties. Basically a crystal-ball look at how guys dress in 2017. Need we say more?
4. Juice
This is a movie with some of the most influential style of the decade, setting the template for hip-hop and street fashion for years to come.
3. The Talented Mr. Ripley
In The Talented Mr. Ripley, Jude Law confirmed himself as one of Hollywood's most fashionable actors, traipsing through Italy with effortless panache. (Yes, it's set in the '50s. And yes, we're still including it on this list because it's so damn good.) But Matt Damon's dorky sociopath, Tom Ripley, is no sartorial slouch himself, and soon learns the rules of the high-fashion game.
2. Dazed and Confused
Another cheat from the '70s but still—so good. Tucked in graphic tees. Weed leaves. Matthew McConaughey. Everything about this movie's costume design was impeccable. Alright, alright, alright.
1. Trainspotting
Every single guy in this photo would look right at home in the current era. And not just at home, but really damn cool. If there's anything better than '90s style, it's British '90s style. These are exhibits A through D.
