'90s Outfit Ideas Inspired By Zoe Kravitz's 'High Fidelity' Wardrobe

Zoë Kravitz is a different kind of style icon. She's one of the few Hollywood elite who can dress in ladylike pearls and a couture gown one day, and an edgy leather jacket and vintage tee the next, and look equally stylish in both. Who else can get married in bike shorts and singlehandedly usher in a new bridal trend? What’s more, her effortless, cool-girl vibe extends to the characters she plays on screen. Whether it’s Bonnie Carlson from HBO’s Big Little Lies or her Robyn Brooks on Hulu’s High Fidelity, the fashion always aligns with Kravitz's one-of-a-kind style aesthetic.

While both characters have covetable wardrobes, there's something about the retro-inspired pieces on High Fidelity that feel so relatable and attainable. In fact, most of the shirts that Kravitz wears throughout the show were thrifted care of the costume designer Sarah Laux.

There was a yellow plaid jumper, layered over a babydoll tee, and combat boots; an oversized Bob Marley top with spandex shorts and ankle booties; and a high-waisted mom jeans and Hawaiian shirt look, complete with Gucci loafers and a scrunchie. In short, it's what every woman with an eye on style wishes she could wear if she would just take the leap of faith. Inspired by Kravitz's character Robyn, you'll want to pull out your thrifted shirts, biker shorts and combat boots next season. Tumultuous love life, thankfully, not included.

Ahead, find the best looks from the first season on High Fidelity and how to shop the style for yourself, right now.

The Hawaiian Shirt

Robyn Brooks loves a Hawaiian shirt. Reportedly, Laux and Kravitz bonded over their mutual love of the colorful vintage style. They mix high and low by styling the shirt with wide-leg jeans, a no-nonsense white tank, and a pair of Gucci loafers.

The T-Shirt And Jeans

Brooks' off-duty look of choice is a T-shirt and jeans, which is apt considering that she works in the world of music. Her wide range of vintage band tees pairs perfectly with her collection of worn-in denim styles.

The Layered Dress

One of the best trends of the late '90s is the layered dress. From the most casual to the most cocktail-ready, every dress style can be layered over a classic white tee to add some edge and grunge to the outfit as a whole.

The Oversized Tee

While Brooks might not look like she’s wearing pants, she’s actually taking a page right out of Kravitz’s own book and pairing her vintage tank with bike shorts. For the ultimate '90s throwback, style the look with a pair of combat-style boots and layered beaded or rubber bracelets.

The Edgy Schoolgirl

While Brooks certainly loves her denim, the character sports her fair share of dresses and mini skirts to switch up the vibe from time to time.

The City Slicker

Brooks' sense of style is perfectly embodied in this singular look: a flirty mini skirt, a vintage Hawaiian shirt, edgy combat boots, and a tailored leather coat on top. After all, why choose one trend when you can wear all four?
