The nineties are back in a big way. It may turn stomachs for those of us who were there the first time round, but there’s no denying it, the British highstreet is packed with blasts for the not-so-distant past. Apparently, the 90s are long enough ago now to be deemed “vintage”.

It might be the grunge look that works for you, or maybe you like to clash your leggings with your headband a la Clarissa Explains it All, or perhaps Alicia Silverstone’s Cher from Clueless is more your thing? Whatever your choice, the place to start is with a mini backpack, and the shops are full of them. Here are the best:
