Other nostalgic staples included shell suits, high ponytails, and the iconic little black dress.

Ashley Birch-Ruffell, spokesperson for FUNKIN COCKTAILS, which commissioned the research ahead of the launch of its new 90s classic cocktail, the Apple Sour Martini, said: '90s fashion is very on trend, and it's fun to see what our official favourite styles are.
'There are clearly many iconic hairstyles and memorable moments from this decade that live on in the public consciousness.
'It seems clear that 90s trends aren't going anywhere anytime soon – and why would we want them to.'
Younger generations are leading the revival, with over six in 10 Gen Z (64 per cent) and Millennials (63 per cent) saying the decade's fashion still influences their personal style – compared to just under four in 10 (39 per cent) of the total population.
Ironically, three quarters of Gen Z (75 per cent) and Millennials (76 per cent) feel nostalgic for the 90s, despite many of them being too young to fully experience the decade first-hand.
In contrast, fewer than two in 10 Boomers (19 per cent) say they feel the same, despite living through it as adults.
Almost nine in 10 (87 per cent) Gen Zs and 82 per cent of Millennials would also jump at the chance to revisit the 90s for one night to soak up the fashion and culture.
There were also some key trends that appealed to the younger demographic in particular – with a fifth of Gen Zs big fans of the space buns and the YTK aesthetic (22 per cent).
Whereas Millennials were found to be number one fans of the curtain hairstyle (18 per cent) and rave wear (17 per cent), according to OnePoll.com data.
And despite agreeing Diana's revenge dress couldn't be beaten, other top fashion moments for Gen Zs were Victoria Beckham's little black dress, Kate Moss's grunge look, and Naomi Campbell's metallic mini dress.
When asked who most embodies 90s style today, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, and Rihanna took the top spots as beacons of this iconic decade.
To mark the launch of the Apple Sour Martini, FUNKIN COCKTAILS has teamed up with London based hairdresser, Duck & Dry to offer free 90s hairstyles alongside a trial of the canned Nitro cocktail.
Ashley added: 'It's clear that the whole culture of the 90s is still considered unapologetically iconic and we wanted to deliver the perfect cocktail to match that vibe – as well as helping people level up their 90s aesthetic.'

World's deepest bar to open in the UK as part of huge new £120million attraction
Plus, London's newest tourist town is in a 'forgotten' district and is a £1.3bn attraction with hotels, theatre and rooftop bar DEEP DIVE World's deepest bar to open in the UK as part of huge new £120million attraction Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEW underground attraction is coming to London and it will be home to the world's deepest bar. Set to open by 2028, The London Tunnels will be a mile-long series of tunnels that "have been kept secret for 70 years", according to The London Tunnels website.

Formerly known as The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels, plans include creating a variety of historical heritage experiences and a cultural, multi-sensory, digital experience. In addition to the new exhibits and experiences that immerse visitors in the decades gone by, the destination is due to open the world's deepest bar. The bar is set to be in the deepest part of the tunnels - 30metres below the streets of London - and will have a unique nightlife experience. The bar will aim to attract both tourists and history enthusiasts keen to see one of the most historically significant sites in the capital. In total, the tunnels span 90,000 square foot and stretch deeper than most of the city's tube stations. The tunnels themselves are large - with the height in parts tall enough to fit a double-decker bus - allowing the attraction to restore them as well as create an expansive visitor experience. The cultural exhibition space is expected to have a World War II memorial dedicated to the 40,000 people who lost their lives during the bombings and an immersive experience that combines history and entertainment, according to Tour and Travel World. The British Military Intelligence Museum is also expected to relocate into the tunnels to showcase over 300 years of British Military intelligence including rare artefacts and cases of espionage. By 1942 the construction of the tunnels was complete but the Blitz were no longer occurring and so the tunnels were never used for shelter. World's most luxurious apocalypse-proof bunkers But two years later, in 1944, the tunnels housed spy headquarters when James Bond author Ian Fleming worked in them for naval intelligence. The tunnels are believed to have inspired Q Branch - where 007 goes to get his specialist equipment. They were also home to a special bunker that would protect Government officials in the case of a nuclear attack. Currently the tunnels boast a maze of old generators, pipes, rusty bolts, bundles of cables and switches and levers. 7 Formerly known as The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels, plans include creating a variety of historical heritage experiences and a cultural, multi-sensory, digital experience Credit: Times Newspapers Ltd 7 In addition to the new exhibits and experiences that immerse visitors in the decades gone by, the destination is due to open the world's deepest bar Credit: Getty 7 The bar is set to be in the deepest part of the tunnels - 30metres below the streets of London Credit: PA:Press Association There are also the remains of a staff bar and canteen doe the 200 workers who used the tunnels in the 1950s and 1960s when it was a telephone exchange. The project aims to revitalise the historic spot and hopes that up to three million people will pay over £30 each year to visit the new attraction. The tunnels are located between London's West End and the Square Mile - stretching between Fulwood Place and Furnival Street, deep below Chancery Lane tube station. The team behind the project includes one of the UK's leading architectural firms - WilkonsonEyre - who were also responsible for the major restoration of London's Battersea Power Station. In the mean time, a beautiful new water attraction will also soon open in Europe with lagoons, 40C pools and waterfalls. Plus, London's newest tourist town is in a 'forgotten' district and is a £1.3bn attraction with hotels, theatre and rooftop bar.
