Parkas, bucket hats and union jacks: how the Oasis reunion tour is fuelling a comeback for the Britpop look

The upcoming Oasis reunion has brought back the focus on the 1990s style they popularized. Model and influencer Thomas Meacock, 23, is planning his outfit for the event, aiming to closely replicate Liam Gallagher's look from the "D'You Know What I Mean?" music video. His desired attire includes straight black or indigo jeans, a sage Oakley parka, Adidas trainers, and Ray-Ban wraparound sunglasses. Meacock is not the only one interested in the 1990s fashion; the announcement of the Oasis reunion has led to a surge in interest in Britpop style. This includes elements like bucket hats, parkas, and 1970s suiting. The interest is not just from fans but also from younger people who are looking to understand and adopt the fashion of that era. The event has already caused a 105% increase in searches for "Oasis band" on Pinterest. This revival of 1990s fashion could be significant, especially with the influence of social media platforms like Instagram. The younger generation's take on this style could be quite interesting, given their love for "Insta-fashion." It remains to be seen how they will interpret and update the classic Britpop look. The Oasis reunion is not just about the music; it's also about the cultural and fashion trends that defined a decade.
