Original Cast of Fresh Prince

Mark your calendars – the reboot of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is officially coming out next month (13th February). 

From the wardrobe of the characters to the general storyline, it seems that this new series is going to go in a completely different direction to the classic 90’s sitcom that helped launch the career of Will Smith. 

With this in mind, the team at Betway have gone down memory lane and looked back on the timeless 90’s fashion trends that were defined by the original show.

If you’ve got a 90’s themed party coming up, you may want to take some inspo from these signature looks!

Move over Molly Mae, it seems that comfy trend started with Ashley Banks back in the 90’s. This blue aesthetic is paired with chunky sneakers and is the perfect look for those loungewear days.

Who knew back to school fashion could be so stylish?! Back in the 90’s, it certainly was! Will’s character certainly knew how to switch up the dull blazer and shirt with this red paisley number.

We can’t forget about the classic turtlenecks and the tartan skirts worn on the show. As sported by Ashley Banks, this signature style evolved in the 90s and grew fast in popularity over the years.

Vibrant, hip, and oh so cool – Will was the pioneer with his neon streetwear style back in the 90s. Nowadays, this type of look is commonly worn in festivals and raves, which just goes to show the momentum that this particular style created.

A classic 90’s fashion trend and one that was much loved by Will, oversized denim jackets are a common staple in today’s spring and summer wardrobes. Whether you’re off on a day out or a night in the town, this versatile piece of clothing has you covered.
