Other nostalgic staples included shell suits, high ponytails, and the iconic little black dress.
The 90s was also voted as the decade with the most influence on today's fashion choices – with top overall trends revealed as Brit-pop, hip-hop, and grunge.
Respondents also voted for their favourite celebrity hairstyles of the era – with Jennifer Aniston's iconic "Rachel" haircut, Johnny Depp's floppy hair, and Victoria Beckham's Posh bob the official winners.
Most iconic UK fashion moments were decided as Princess Diana's revenge dress, Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress at the BRIT Awards, and Liz Hurley's Versace safety pin dress.

Ashley Birch-Ruffell, spokesperson for FUNKIN COCKTAILS, which commissioned the research ahead of the launch of its new 90s classic cocktail, the Apple Sour Martini, said: '90s fashion is very on trend, and it's fun to see what our official favourite styles are.
'There are clearly many iconic hairstyles and memorable moments from this decade that live on in the public consciousness.
'It seems clear that 90s trends aren't going anywhere anytime soon – and why would we want them to.'
Younger generations are leading the revival, with over six in 10 Gen Z (64 per cent) and Millennials (63 per cent) saying the decade's fashion still influences their personal style – compared to just under four in 10 (39 per cent) of the total population.
Ironically, three quarters of Gen Z (75 per cent) and Millennials (76 per cent) feel nostalgic for the 90s, despite many of them being too young to fully experience the decade first-hand.
In contrast, fewer than two in 10 Boomers (19 per cent) say they feel the same, despite living through it as adults.
Almost nine in 10 (87 per cent) Gen Zs and 82 per cent of Millennials would also jump at the chance to revisit the 90s for one night to soak up the fashion and culture.
There were also some key trends that appealed to the younger demographic in particular – with a fifth of Gen Zs big fans of the space buns and the YTK aesthetic (22 per cent).
Whereas Millennials were found to be number one fans of the curtain hairstyle (18 per cent) and rave wear (17 per cent), according to OnePoll.com data.
And despite agreeing Diana's revenge dress couldn't be beaten, other top fashion moments for Gen Zs were Victoria Beckham's little black dress, Kate Moss's grunge look, and Naomi Campbell's metallic mini dress.
When asked who most embodies 90s style today, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, and Rihanna took the top spots as beacons of this iconic decade.
To mark the launch of the Apple Sour Martini, FUNKIN COCKTAILS has teamed up with London based hairdresser, Duck & Dry to offer free 90s hairstyles alongside a trial of the canned Nitro cocktail.
Ashley added: 'It's clear that the whole culture of the 90s is still considered unapologetically iconic and we wanted to deliver the perfect cocktail to match that vibe – as well as helping people level up their 90s aesthetic.'

Pulp takes swipe at Charli XCX during surprise Glastonbury performance – as they return to headline after 30 years
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PULP have finally made their triumphant to Glastonbury's Pyramid stage after 30 years - after being revealed as mystery band 'Patchwork'. The Britpop icons, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, had ramped up speculation for their set by not appearing on the line-up – instead choosing to go by a mystery name for a secret set. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Pulp were finally confirmed as mystery band Patchwork Credit: AFP 5 The band took a jab at Charli XCX by declaring 2025 a 'Pulp Summer' Credit: BBC However, it had long been speculated it was actually Pulp, with piece of their equipment appearing backstage seeming to give the game away. At 6.15pm, the Pyramid stage filled with nearly 100 people dressed in black and white ponchos as the band was finally revealed. Taking a swipe at Charli XCX, who is headlining the Other Stage later tonight, a screen behind the band flashed the words "Are you ready for.... Pulp Summer." The message was a direct reference to the 'Brat Summer' Charli celebrated last year thanks to her smash-hit album. When the message appeared, the crowd parted, revealing the band led by Cocker, who broke out into Sorted for E's and Whizz and Disco 2000 from their iconic album, Different Class. "We're Pulp. Sorry for the people that were expecting Patchwork," Cocker joked after the tracks. "Did you know we were going to play?" he asked, and when the crowd loudly declared "yes" he responded, "How? Psychic? Good." Throughout the set, Pulp joked that it had been '30 Years and Four Days' since they first took to the stage at Glastonbury 1995. At the time, the band were thrust on to the main stage at the last minute when The Stone Roses pulled out of their slot. The performance was just a month after they shot to the top of the charts with their seminal track Common People, cementing them as one of the biggest Britpop bands going. In 2011, the group appeared again, this time on the Park Stage as a surprise set, two years after they had reformed. Glastonbury opening ceremony branded a flop by disappointed revellers as fireworks display 'dogged by sound issues' The band originally split in 2002, with Jarvis saying shortly after that "noone was arsed" about their music anymore. They split again in 2013, before reforming in 2022. Their new album, More, was released on June 5th – just three weeks before the band appeared at Glastonbury and 24 years since their last full release. 5 The band first appeared on the Pyramid Stage 30 years ago almost to the day Credit: Getty 5 Charli XCX is taking to the Pyramid stage today Credit: Getty

Emma Raducanu giggles as she addresses Carlos Alcaraz relationship ahead of Wimbledon
The pair have been the talk of the internet since their US Open announcement earlier this month COURT IN A STORM Emma Raducanu giggles as she addresses Carlos Alcaraz relationship ahead of Wimbledon Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMA RADUCANU has put any rumours of a relationship with Carlos Alcaraz to bed. Raducanu and Alcaraz, both 22, have been subject to swirling rumours about a potential romance after they announced they would be teaming up as doubles partners for the US Open later this summer.

Rumours on social media have suggested that the duo's relationship goes further than the court this week, but Raducanu has been quick to shut down the chatter. When asked about it in her pre-Wimbledon press conference, the British star said while giggling: "We're just good friends". Raducanu is jumping at the idea of teaming up with the World No2, who is hot off the heels of winning the French Open earlier this month.

"But for me, when he asked me, I was going to say yes, I just had to kind of go through the formality of asking my coach, so I didn't just make the decision." On how they became friends, Raducanu added: "I've known him for years. "And actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021. 3 Rumours have begun to swirl about the dynamic between Alcaraz and Raducanu Credit: Getty "And I remember he was always playing the day before me and I was playing like the second day of the round. "And I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too." Further lifting the lid on her connection with Alcaraz, Raducanu went on: "We have a good relationship still. He's obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice that we have that from a while ago. "I think for all of us, we really kind of value those connections that we had from when we were young because when you become a bit more known or a bit more successful, you just find yourself reverting back to people you knew from a young age because you're like, that's a real genuine connection. "Because it becomes very busy and you have a lot more friends but the ones that you've known for a long time mean a lot more to you." Both Raducanu and Alcaraz will have their full focus on Wimbledon for now, with first-round action getting underway at the All England Club on Monday. Raducanu will open her account with a clash against fellow Brit, Mingge Xu. While Alcaraz will launch his defence of his 2024 title against Italian Fabio Fognini.

Darts legend Phil Taylor admits new job ‘like an apprenticeship' and he feels ‘like a fish out of water'
PHIL YOUR BOOTS Darts legend Phil Taylor admits new job 'like an apprenticeship' and he feels 'like a fish out of water' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PHIL TAYLOR has admitted he feels like a "fish out of water" in his new job as a presenter. The record-holding 16-time world champion announced his official retirement from darts in May, after playing on the senior circuit since 2018. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Phil Taylor has admitted he feels like a "fish out of water" in his new job as a presenter Credit: Rex The Power is considered the greatest player to set foot on the oche, also winning 87 major PDC titles and 16 World Matchplay trophies. Seven years ago, at the age of 57, he stepped away from the PDC but continued to grace exhibitions. Four years later, he took part in his first competitive event since retirement, the inaugural World Seniors Darts Championship. Since leaving it all behind him, Taylor has swapped his arrows for a microphone, although admits he isn't as confident in his new gig. READ MORE DARTS NEWS CROWDED OUT Heta wanted to 'run into crowd and do something silly' at US Darts Masters The 64-year-old will take another stab at being a presenter when he joins the team at the World Seniors Darts Champion of Champions on Sunday. He said in the build-up to the tournament, live and free on Pluto TV,: "I'm like a fish out of water at the minute, so I'm still learning. I've got to take my hat off to these commentators. "If it was a football match, I wouldn't have a clue who's passing the ball or playing for which team! I wouldn't even know who's on whose side. It's remarkable what they do. "Every time I present, I'm learning. I will get used to it, but it's like an apprenticeship, I think.

"There's no pressure, obviously. I haven't got to get up and start practising to make sure I'm getting ready for nighttime, so I can just relax and enjoy it." Darts legend Phil Taylor reveals he'd consider buying EFL club with Robbie Williams Taylor appeared briefly on the World Seniors Tour but made the decision to call time on all competitive darts just last month, revealing that he didn't want to disappoint fans. He added: "I was really, really looking forward to it. Loved the idea of the Seniors Darts. Enjoyed playing in it. "But I couldn't perform like Phil Taylor could perform. So it broke my heart a little bit. "My body had changed. I'm 65 this year. It got harder and harder for me, and I couldn't perform. And people were paying money to come and see me. "It broke my heart not to perform like I can. And I thought, 'I can't do this anymore. This is not right. If I do something, I have to do it properly.' I'm a bit of a perfectionist. "I haven't even got a set of darts now. Or a dartboard. I've got a dartboard in the back room. But it's still in the box. I was so dedicated and everything. But I can't do it now. "So, I do other things. I see my grandkids a lot more. And the best thing in the world is staying and sleeping in your own bed. Which I'd not done for 30 years and I love it."
