From the proliferation of oversized sweats to bucket hats and baggy jeans, one glance at MR PORTER’s shelves is enough to tell you that the 1990s are having something of a sartorial renaissance in menswear right now. Beyond these more obvious hallmarks, though, is the quieter re-emergence of the decade’s tailoring – a genre that has been left hanging during the work-from-home solitude of the past two years. But as the world slowly springs back to life, there is once again, the need – and crucially, the desire – to smarten up and take on the world in something that isn’t sweatpants. And in our comfort-conscious new normal, the re-emergence of the slouchy, roomy tailoring blocks of the 1990s couldn’t feel timelier.

From Twin Peaks to Notting Hill, here’s why the on-screen tailoring of the 1990s feels on point again
