14 best things about '90s Easter fashion
For many of us, Easter in the '90s meant two things: candy and frilly socks.
As much as we hate to admit it, dressing up for holidays in the between 1990 and 2000 was actually the raddest time of our lives -- depsite the many fights we put up with our moms and dads at the time.

1. Frilly socks
When mom busted out these babies, you knew it was a special occasion.

Perfect fodder for your future modeling career. Obviously.
6. Lacy gloves
Admit it, you felt like Rose from Titanic and you refused to take them off for dinner.

Even the boys were not immune from bright, spring prints.
8. White mini purses (for your Easter candy)
This was pretty much the only way to get you to set down your Easter basket.
9. Big hair bows
If it wasn't a headband, it was a bow. And there was no discussion about it.
10. The dreaded bunny costume
Reserved for the youngest child. We're sorry, youngest child.
11. The frilly, puffy dress
Best moment of the day was the opportunity for a twirl. And the adults were happy to indulge you.
12. Little boy dad fashion
Combine one pastel colored shirt that vaguely resembled an Easter egg, khakis and brown loafers and dad had a little mini-me running around all day.
13. Matching ensembles
Even if you weren't twins, you were wearing the same outfit. How else were the moms and dads supposed to tell their flocks apart?
14. White, chunky mini heels
That moment when mom or dad took you to Payless for Easter shoes was the BEST. DAY. EVER.
