“Or order this new one and beat it up yourself.” if this lets you know where my brain is, I first read this as “beat yourself up” i.e. for not getting a secondhand shirt 🤣

My favorite 90's outfit was-rugby shirt, frye boots, levis and my grandmother's pearls. Would 100% wear that today...gotta find me a rugby shirt :)

This is a great post.

Those (men's) rollneck sweaters show up at your better goodwills regularly; I don't think the guys that got them as gifts ever wore them (same with the wool)

(Also appreciate your use of the term button-up)

Ty!!! And so true. They’re thrift store gold

I am the aunt who ordered from this catalog in 1992. I had a forest green rollneck sweater and wish it was still around. We also wore lots of button downs in those days and I snagged some old ones from my dad's closet and tied them at the waist. Pretty much only Levi's red tab.

If I wear my 1986 Gap rugby shit, will I look cool or just old?

Also for everyone in Brooklyn the L train has tons of RL rugby shirts. I got 3 for $7 and some 501 authentic jorts? for $9 full 👀

Praying the thrift gods make those red pleated silk pants appear at a thrift store by me this summer! The pleating really helps avoid a pajama vibe 👌🏻 My favorite thrifted 90s J Crew item is a dark gray speckled sweater that is all wool. I thrifted two of their cardigans that were made in Hong Kong like 15 years ago (one in dark green, one in hot pink) last weekend.

The JCrew catalogs from the 90s were chef’s kiss. Such a vibe.

I wasn’t aware I needed a cotton rolled neck sweater - but now I absolutely do!

Such a throwback! I miss '90s styles sometimes because it was so comfy. Quirky, but comfy.

The RUGBY SHIRT, yes!! I used to steal my brother’s actual rugby shirt and wear it for fun. Blast from the past!
