Fashion favourite Amber Le Bon stepped out last night wearing a totally amazing Marios Schwab evening dress - complete with a very awesome 90s hankychief hemline, and, well it propelled us back in time.

If the AW14 catwalks are anything to go by, it's not just your hemline that you should be rethinking - it's time to regress back to your inner Spice Girl and re-buy virtually all the things you wore when you were ten. Remember the purple eyeshadow, coffee ice lipstick, boot-cut jeans and crop tops? Well we hope you liked them, 'cause they're back.

Let us narrow down the key bits you should be buying now...

Hanky Hems

Untitled-4
 

Prepare yourself for some confusion when you wear a handkerchief hem - if you pick a skirt then you will undoubtedly spend ten minutes trying to work out which bit is the front. Hankerchief hem tops should also be revisited - wear over pale denim to channel B*Witched. (Say you will...)

Chokers

 

Super swish designers Balmain, Balenciaga, Erdem and Thomas Tait all sent chokers down their AW14 runways. But you can get this fashion fix for cheaper than your morning latte by picking up a plastic wire style like the ones you wore when you thought you were Gwen Staffani.

Platform Trainers

 

Who didn't love platforms? Emma Bunton had some, so did Britney, so frankly what more needs to be said. Take your inspiration from Ashish's netural pair and you will be able to wear them with anything. And surreptitiously be three inches taller.

Boob Tubes

 

Crop it like it hot is the mantra of the season. Now you need a full-on old school boob tube, as seen on the Nazir Mazhar catwalk and on Lily Collins IRL, who manages to somehow make hers look chic. Worth noting - they're no longer called boob tubes, and have been rebranded as bandeau bralets. Classy.
