There's no denying that '90s and '80s-era culture is back in full force, which is why we've compiled a list of gift ideas for retro fashion lovers. While retro-themed releases have spanned several industries, 2021 saw a notable uptick in the launch of old-school apparel items targeting nostalgic millennials and fashion-forward Gen Zer's.
In terms of footwear, this list delivers a variety of gift options for you to choose from, whether the retro lover in your life prefers basketball hightops or punk-inspired silhouettes. For example, Nike released the Air Max Plus 'Reverse Sunset,' inverting the color scheme found on the original model. Meanwhile, Clark's unveiled a pair of Wallbee's that pays tribute to '90s hip-hop legends, including MF Doom and the Wu-Tang Clan.
As for apparel, this list includes items from Dying in Kyoto's retro rave-inspired collection, which features an oversized yellow tee donning a Marlboro cigarette-like graphic. Elsewhere, fashion label Noah released a capsule celebrating art-rock band Roxy Music; a highlight piece being the tiger-print bomber jacket.
