You can see it in the fashion, the music, even the hairstyles: the 90s are back - and with them the legendary Britpop look. This era was characterized by casual cuts, sporty track jackets and cool, calm styles that are now celebrating a fashion revival - and we are so ready for it.
What exactly is Britpop?
First things first: Britpop is a music and cultural phenomenon that reached its peak in the UK in the 1990s. Britpop doesn't take itself too seriously. Rather than trying to appeal to the American mass music market or following in the footsteps of '80s glam rock, Britpop was the British version of American grunge, only more casual and with a cool, effortless charm.
In addition to music, Britpop also encompassed a lifestyle that brought together fashion, art and culture, making the aesthetics of the period particularly influential. And for autumn and winter 2024/2025, this vibe is now evident again: transferred to fashion, particularly diverse and at the same time feasible for anyone who wants to give their wardrobe a classic, modern twist. Is the comeback possibly due to the upcoming Oasis tour? The well-known 90s nostalgia? Or because the look looks so damn cool then as it does now?

The color palette: Neutral tones with color accents
Britpop was never just black and white - instead, the look was dominated by an earthy, neutral color palette complemented by targeted pops of color.

It's about not appearing overloaded or “too styled”, but rather concentrating on the essentials. Just as if you were on your way to a concert. It is precisely this minimalist use of accessories that gives the Britpop style its cool and slightly rebellious character.
