This rigid style from Agolde is the, well, gold standard when it comes to '90s denim with a modern feel. (Just ask BAZAAR.com digital fashion director Kerry Pieri, who swears by this pair.) Wear yours with a lived-in tee and boots to complete the look.

This distressed pair from Good American feels both nostalgic and modern at once. A pair of thong sandals and a band tee offer the same feel—but we'd opt for chunky clogs and an open-front cardigan instead.

Heavyweight, non-stretch denim was a paragon of 1990s fashion, and the faded taper just adds to the allure. Update the look with square-toe mules and a cropped jacket.
