Hello bbs! I finally finished the 1997 video, lol! What do you guys want to see next? I honestly want to do every year of the 90s now... can't wait for '98 and the arrival of Britney/Xtina/dueling pop stars. Which outfit was your fave?
Safiya Nygaard your awesome
Ily ❤️
Safiya Nygaard ❤️❤️
Safiya Nygaard HI
Safiya Nygaard Love from Costa Rica 🙌💚
I feel like Safiya did really well when it came to presentations in school.
i agree
Kine Kvernmoen and writing papers
And explaining what the kid that was absent yesterday missed
Kine Kvernmoen yh
Safiya is a graduate from Stanford and she has an English degree. You can tell she knows what she is doing and how emotive she is... it makes sense she was also working in theater and writing a lot. She's awesome
I refuse to believe that 1997 was 20 years ago
Abby Durant watch my shitty videos
Abby Durant same, i wasn't even born yet but i still feel kinda old.
I refuse to believe I'm turning 20 years old soon
I refuse to believe i was already 16 back then....gosh time....what is your problem???
I was like "SAME" but then I realized that i'm also 20 and uuuuuuhhhh i don't like it
2019: 1990s fashion is back full force
with the scrunchies and sheer in all!
@@zoe4677 I hope it will never happened I hate 2000s fashion
Why did we skip the 80s 😥😥😥😥
cargo pants came back just like saf said, yay
@@octavia88 the 80's wasn't skipped....
Why did her summary of 97 style literally sum up 2020 style so far 😂 the platforms, chokers, crop tops, etc.
cause that's what it is... as someone who was in jr high / high school in the 90s... it's amusing to see the teenagers dressed exactly how I was dressed lol
@@brn2863 plot twist it's back
@@brn2863 Yeah, I remember my mom laughing one day while dropping me off at middle school, about seeing people wearing bell bottoms and platform shoes again just like they had in the '70's.
accurate
I loved loved loved the 90s. Loved sheer, loved minimalism, loved skate style and chinoserie. I'm so gratified to see kids rediscovering these trends.
Cargo pants... I miss you. Come back. So many real pockets for women.
Just wear them anyway? You don't need something to be 'on trend' in order to wear it. :P I wear cargo pants.
Pellinor i want them to be in popular stores though so i can get the variety of choices
I love cargo pants I used to wear them all the time as a kid.. I think I'm gonna go buy me a pair
Just Chilin same
I've been wearing cargo pants forever. I wear what I like!
I cant believe 1997 was 20 YEARS AGO LIKE TF ???
Nothing fucks u harder then time :(
angela farra I can't believe I'm 20 I feel like I'm still 14
Girl Rants same i turned 21 in july and i was like "hold up wasnt i 14 like 6 months ago?!" 😂😂
angela farra kit😂😂
Ikr I'm 31 going on 32 where has time gone
watching this 5 yrs later and realized that Safiya predicted our future lol literally everyone wearing cargo pants and butterfly clips right now haha
LITERALLY
😂😂😂 i hope she kept hers
just imagine in the future they will be doing I dressed like it was 2019
scrunchies, t - shirts, and A LOT of leggings
Street wear
So basically like 1997?
@@isabella_michael that's boring. There's definatly more time defining trends now like chunky sneakers, crop tops, fanny packs/crossbody bags, minimalist earth toned/pastel colored hoodies, etc
@@discomillenium8850 yeah I know, I was was just too lazy to include everything :/
If Safiya was my history teacher I would get straight As lol
Ok but I'm in love with your picture
I would get straight Bs if you know what i mean( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Bitches cause of the dresses k i'll leave
Arooba xxx ur picture I can't my queen Cameron 😭😍
I'm so proud to be your 1k like! It's was my goal!
I can relate!! I literally splurged my knowledge on hippie culture from her 1967 video in our crafts subject and I corrected my teacher in science for saying "haley bopp" instead of "hale bopp" OOPS
I was 17 in 1997 and would say this was pretty spot on. Late 90's is definitely back. I was walking through Primark this past weekend and every other rack I was like "wore that", "had something like that", "remember that sort of fabric". Also the frosted makeup was on point. Icy blues and silvers all the way. I even had a frosted blue lipstick that my mum said made me look like I had a heart condition!
missnotms yay!! i'm glad u liked it!!
missnotms I had a lipstick like that too.. I love what your mom said! 😂
missnotms I agree, those Delias catalogues brought back memories.
missnotms I was 20. She did pretty good
I was 17 too... Loved everything about the 90s
Safiya teaches me more about history than school
TRUE
HA ikr
I interpreted this as Safiya teaches me more about history than she does about school and I was very confused
This is just Sims 2 Fashion: The Video
And like half of sims 3 too tbh
Lol I agree!
OHMYGOD *YES* I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Transparent parts of clothing? The Sims. Is. OBSESSED. With this. It's even all over Sims 4! Basegame, even.
"I was barely a person in 1997" I LOVE IT😂😂
Love ya saf❤️😅
I wasn't even a person lol :p
Omg Sofia!! Hi!! I love your channel so much!!!! 💕💕
I wasn't even an embryo during that time
So Fia I was a infant cause I was born in 1996
When she said 20 years ago, I felt so old damn
Same. I was only 7 years old in 1997, but damn...
Damn I felt so young when she said 20 years ago
Philo Hisham I was only -2 years old
Philo Hisham I was 14... this is my high school wardrobe ... I feel ancient 😂😂😂😂
Don't feel too bad, I graduated in '96.
She looked fantastic in the first outfit, it doesn't look outdated at all, I was 14 or 15 and I saw quite a few girls in high school in the second one in 97.
Why is this all so in style now in 2019???
VSCO girls.
Ikr?
Googoo ga ga it's yo boi Baby Yoda it’s also because of the fashion cycle. Non of these trends were innovative and fashion is recycled
honestly? as pop culture progresses and takes influence and it effects fashion. music and trashy TV shows are super popular and mimic 90's trends, plus theyre super cool so people have adopted them!
I feel like the 90's are so on trend, you could just wear anything you wear today and get away with it
not 90's eyebrows tho
fashion just repeats itself
I miss 90s eyebrows
When can the 20s repeat itself? I wanna wear a flapper dress with out it being hallou
lestrange damn I still got em
"It means toilet!" he sounds so excited
Marveles holt Mood me just mood
Does he speak Chinese?
A T he’s half chinese
Saf: I'm waiting for the cargo pants to come back
Mw watching this in 2020 owning 7 pairs of cargo pants: oh boy they are
I was 15 years old in 1997. And I must say each outfit you dressed in was on point for the fashion of the late 90s. And also brought back some great memories.
I remember when I was little and I saw my older sisters getting ready I would dream of the day that I got to dress like them. Now that these fashions are coming back I have my chance.
Brynley Louise yes!
Same girl same. I was born in the 90s and that is how I thought I would look as a teen. I sadly did not dress like that as the trends changed by the 2000s and 2010s.
Hannah R I just bought a crushed velvet dress and a choker the other day! The hype is real
I'm actually really mad that I was slightly too young for early 2000s teen trends lol. I'm a LATE nineties child, so I literally just became a teen as those early 2000s trends died off.
I did finally get my chokers though, cause those finally became cool again :P
Brynley Louise I bought a Nirvana tee, a black slip dress, and a bunch of chokers recently. I am glad I am not alone haha.
i was a teen in 97 you got most of it right the only thing is your pants were hiked up way to high. it was all about the low rise and showing off your calvin klein underwear.
Honestly, Saf probably didn't wear it that way for "UA-cam Reasons" or some such thing. We can't go around seeing Saf's underwear just because it was "in".
the pants look like they would've been way too long if she didn't wear them like that
@@jaidenkendall266 really ? We see so much more on the rest of UA-cam without age restrictions that I don't think it's a problem... recently I signaled a video saying "relaxation" where there was a girl on transparent lingerie saying she wanted to "blow you dry dirty baby", and UA-cam answered saying that it was not a problem, so... the wide elastic of a calvin klein underwear is really nothing compared to that.
@@bitchette That's your opinion. I have mine.
I was 19 in '97 and can say that the 80's were the time of high rise noisy athletic pants and the 90's were low rise. They wouldn't be so low that she couldn't wear them on UA-cam, but I think they might be hard to find now so maybe that's why they are high...
Everything else on the video looked great and was a great homage the the late 90's. I was all about the minimalist look ha!
I can't wait for 10 years from now when someone dresses like it was 2019, and literally all of the outfits are athleisure and vsco girl outfits.
Don't forget the egirls
no more vsco please😂
@@miafolse8297 that's sooo American.
I don't think Vsco girls represent this time, I don't see Vsco girls going to school and on the streets. It's a subculture more than the standard
@@mai_hai2274 I'm a year late, but you've cLEARLY never been to any elementary/junior school in 2018/2019 if you don't see a sh!t ton of VSCO girls at school. I remembered knowing damn well that I was gonna scream back in 2019 if I heard aNOTHER preteen say "SKSKSKSK AND I OOP" and I ALREADY live in a country where every school required uniforms and everyone was two yeard late to trends (the "vsco girls" at my schools wore too many brightly colored scrunchies, chunky necklaces, had hydroflasks (or bottles similar to those), and fjallraven bags with their uniforms)
"..Titanic,"
Yes!
"..Kylie Jenner,"
Cool!
"Harry Potter,"
Potter Head activated
"And Jake Paul"
**pauses the video and took a deep breath**
Me too
Idah Shukri ME TOO
Yup. Pretty sure that's what we all did.
Idah Shukri boiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Had me laughing out loud bruh 😂😂
"Except for the spice girls who are truly relevant at every place at every time" if that isn't the damn TRUTH
Dominic Ciccarelli 😏😏
I swear i see you EVERYWHERE
I ♡ You Dominic!!!
Dominic, I want you
Dominic Ciccarelli I READ THIS AS SHE SAID IT AHH
I honestly love the way Safiya combines fashion, entertainment and interesting information in these kind of videos!
Sofia Rosel23 f
Sofia Rosel23 Yes tru
She puts in so much work into this kind of video whereas other youtubers film for half an hour, cut the video up quick and dirty then upload. No issue with those youtubers either, but Safiya puts so much thought into each segment and layers it with narration, videos, pictures, history about the era. She's the best
@@Cat-vr8fj that's why she's one of my favorites.
I was born in 97 so I was contractually obligated to watch this.
Same!
I came here for the not drugz
Same
I was 16 in 1997 and this brought back major flashbacks. Bravo! The pants you wore in the second outfit we called cargo pants where I lived at the time. I can’t believe how good you did.
Same. 16 in 97. The 90’s were the best were they not?
Man, I wasn't even born in 1997, feels weird
My mom was 7 :D
@@CYB3RG0THomg me too and i can NOT imagine having a child that is old enough to comment on yt videos 😮😂 ❤
I am 14! :)@@marthamathilda
"Sheer, sheer, sheer, sheer" "I think we get the point" "SHEER"
I feel like you could buy all these outfits in urban outfitters
Scarlett W yup
Scarlett W 90s are in
90s never away
They’re all back on style (: I’m so glad the 90’s fashion is back on trend!
When u said Jake Paul was born in 1997, I was like
don’t remind me of that mistake.
I actually had no idea I shared my year of birth with him, I'm not happy about this 🤣
I HAVE A NEW VIDEO IDEA "I DRESS LIKE MY MOM AT MY AGE" PLEEEEEASE DO THAT
She already did that for a Buzzfeed video, when she was still working there.
kaklantaklan i think her mom is actually dead..
I coincidently dress just like my mom when she was my age lmao, so much so that she gave me a bunch of her old teenage clothes and I wear them all the time.

She's sheer
And she ain't going any wheir
abbie.m442 name twin
Abbie Schrage yessss
Watching this in 2019, and Safiyas dream came true: cargo pants are back! Hallelujah!
Army pants and flip flops
the fact that she sang the song in front of a fountain made my day
i love how every aspect of the outfit relates to 1997. it shows how much research you actually put into the video
Madison V
Ikr!
The third outfit is literally what a trendy modern street wear look would be, with the bold colors, bulky trainers, and track pants, cool to see how trends repeat themselves in different ways through out the years.
Hendrix Mane yes !!! Cringe lol
Hendrix Mane 2
roba alfaham Cringe? I like it.
“Bras and lingerie were very popular”
Me: .....well not for Rachel
I was 15 in 1997 and the last outfit with the silver eyeshadow...i felt that in my soul.
At the age of 13, I use to live in that last outfit. from the butterfly clips to the frosted eyeshadow, the knee length floral dress down to the overly chunky slides. Although, I got my inspiration from Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen that year!
BUTTERFLY CLIPS WERE MY LIFE!!!!! :)
I LIVED for Delia’s catalogues and Steve Madden slides! As a 90s teen, your looks were spot on! Thanks for taking me back to my youth!
I was 11 years old in 1997...I remember seeing these outfits *EVERYWHERE*
Strange how the kids in their 20s are still dressing like this :)
While Saf's videos are entertaining, I actually learn a lot from them. 😛
*Patiently waiting for 1987*
JumpyNugget _ Yesss me too! 😂
87 fam!
Hell yes 1987!
YES
I was 16 in 97 and you basically nailed it. Better than other people ive seen who try to mimic the styles from the decade. Also, the last dress was so spot on. You could also have have added a white baby tee under it and out on some docs and you would have hit the grunge look that I loved so much back then.
The 90's were my teen years graduating in 2000 & you nailed it! I loved that time lol
Follow the mean girls dress code for a week
Layla guttierez YES YES YES
Layla guttierez YAAAAS
Layla guttierez yasss
That would be amazing
Amazing idea!
i'm actually digging all the outfits
HAHAHA same!
I was 12 in 1997 so I have a lot of love/nostalgia for this year. You did an amazing job researching and all of your outfits are very accurate. I remember SO many of the magazine ads that you showed in this video--I pored over teen fashion magazines at this time, especially Seventeen. I loved Delia's but it was pricey. Things I had from this video: sheer clothing, a chinoiserie purse, frosty/glittery makeup, Lip Lix (guurrl did you really apply expired Lip Lix in this vid?!), Doc Martens, a Tommy Hilfiger tee, butterfly clips
Other things that were very in: Fubu, Jnco jeans, glitter gel, Clueless-inspired fashions/accessories, 70's-inspired styles, Abercrombie, the Gap, khakis.
Thank you for this amazing walk down memory lane, even if I'm commenting 6 years late. 😂
“Wheres the RadioShack?” 😂😂😂 You did a 10/10 job on representing 1997! ;)
I'm feeling VERY NOSTALGIC, I totally identify with EVERYTHING IN THIS VID. I was in 7th grade in 1997!!
Keesha Lewis I did not exist in 1997
heidy neither did i
when safiya is more entertaining than my teachers
florα And even more educational 😂
florα YESSSS
You're / did i attack you? did i offend you? sit your salty ass down if you think that you can talk to me that way, honey.
+flora one, amazing profile picture
two, barb
All that clothes are still looking around at 2019 😂, only little things changed
The cargo pants and camo are back in the shops now, in the UK at least. As a teen in the 90's I can tell you that those looks are accurate af 😅
I am having a hard time clothes shopping now as I don't wanna relive my teen years 😂
*immediately feels inspired to go re-watch Buffy*
Jacqueline Dunn omg I feel that
I could probably quote every episode word for word. Made me so happy to see this mention!!
It always reminds me of Phil lol
I'm watching it all the way through for the 3rd time now. I love Buffy so much
Can you dress like it's colonial times😂😂😂 that would be so funny... also, I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
mai skinner PLEASE DO THIS THIS IS GENIUS OMGKBBKUGGHDEATUJNKKIHDZFHT
mai skinner YES
I was a hairdresser in 1997, we ve cut and brushed so many Rachelhairdo s!!!!
I loved the see true look and I still own my chinoisery.
I loved my dresses in the 90 s
Grate video X
2017 Safiya: **Made somewhat serious videos about fashion**
2019 Safiya: LETS MAKE 8 LIPSTICKS OUT OF DRUGSTORE LIPSTICKS BITCHES!!!
LoL
I DEADASS WATCHED THE ENTIRE VIDEO THINKING IT WAS 10 YEARS AGO.
Myla Woodley i thought that till I saw this😂
I can assure you it's not.
Myla Woodley 10 years ago was 2007
Right!? ahahahah.
That's when I graduated. *cries*
U mean 20 yrs ago!!
I can sort of imagine Saf doing this until it reaches like the it reaches the 50s
Gabi sosa that's not what he meant
Same, I'd love to see her do the 1920s though, with all the flapper fashion
piece of garbage I see now its like 1950s not age 50s
I was 18 in 1997, it was a great time. I was a goth and I wore almost exclusively vintage dresses from the 20's up until the 70's and making plastic skirts and shirts. :) I STILL wear a lot of sheer dresses and plastic/vinyl etc..
I fell asleep to your ASMR video and then woke up to Tyler going ‘it means toilet!!’
Its weird to think someone someday could be doing this for our year
well our fashion sense has kinda been reliving the 90s trends so
I think this 24/7
Starry Night
h b
Stephanie Bland no NM
Starry Night that's so weird, time is a crazy thing
when Safiya is more educational than most of my teachers
I graduated from high School in 1997. It's funny I remember the 1980s and the 1990s like it was only yesterday for me. Awesome. I think that's because I still had my younger sister and my grandmother with me. The last 20 years has gone by quickly without them. Thank You for this video 🌹
10:34
WELL THEY CAME BACK IN 2020 AND I AM HYPED
It's awesome how she teaches you things while she entertains you with the style aspect. It's influential and beautiful. Hats off to you Safiya, never stop being amazing!
I see why Saf has all these views. This video was very well made and you could tell that she really put a lot of time into the research. kudos!
here we are in 2020 and cargo pants are backkkkkk
I really want her to dress up like the spice girls for a week
PLEASE make this a series!!!! I'd love to see you do the 80s
Becky Jones we will get to the 80s eventually!! hehe i think i'm gonna do 60s next
Safiya Nygaard yessssss
Can we just admire how well saf is doing for herself since she left buzfeed...
You go girl 👏👏👏
Poppy Chiquita You go Glenn Coco!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Poppy Chiquita why'd she leave?
Juan A. Ortiz four for you!!
Go Saf, go! 😊
The last outfit was basically what I wore to my middle school graduation! Safiya nailed it!!!
Saf teaches me more than my history teacher lmao ❤️
When she says 1997, all that comes to my mind is Sabrina's looks in Sabrina the Tennage Witch. I love the style on the first seasons of Sabrina, the high waisted pants and skirts, flannels and half sheer half solid color blouses, i just loved 'em and if i dressed like the show today no one would noticed.
Naiana de S. Nascimento me too. 😂
Sabrina. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Cher from Clueless. Buffy was it for me though, I legit use to call tank tops "buffy tops" 😂 😂 😂
What comes to my mind is JNCOs, cargo pants, and band graphic T-shirts.
I know because I wore them in 1997, in high school; either that, or I paired my JNCOs with a really cute midriff baring tank.
SAME!!
I like how she does research to make a really high quality videos. And how she includes all these in video. Please keep it up. Do more videos like this.
In 5 years she’ll be making a “I dressed like it was 2017” video and we’ll all cringe at our past teenage fashion choices
The 90’s really brought some amazing fashion to the world🥰
This was great. I love how much research you do into the time period for these ✨
Love seeing you here Ariel! I'm a fan of your videos :)
Ariel Bissett I love your videos Ariel! ❤️
i read the title like "depressed like it was 1997" and it made me sad and then i read it again...
Fandoms have ruined my life your profile pictureeeee
it's dan howell
Gosh, I was seventeen in 97, and the second one was exactly how most of my classmates were looking like.
I was low key hoping for thick box braids, over-sized street clothes, and door knocker earrings 🤣🤣
butterfly clips, chockers, see throughs... I was 17 in 1997... the good times
i wear y butterfly clips to this day
I wasn't born in 1997 :)
Same here :) graduated high school and I'm glad the minimalist chic means my formal pics aren't cringeworthy!
Music & fashion - '97 was a great year!
Tight see throught tops with bohemian or asian prints ❤. I was 11, my sister was 17 like you
I was 2
The slip dress with butterfly cips was spot on and ypu look stunning
hahahahh i love how Tyler wrote bathroom in chinese as the tattoo lolololol
Safiya works so hard on her videos. I have so much respect for her. This is content with *actual* content included.
One thing I will say that was very different in the 90's was eyebrows. I'm lucky my eyebrows survived at all. Over plucking was very much in style. A "History of Eyebrows" video would be cool.
Margaret Murphy yes!
Margaret Murphy lucky! My brows didn't make it through as well! There's still patchy spots 😞
Margaret Murphy yeah! Great idea! I'm so up for the history of eyebrows
Margaret Murphy omg yees
**An "History of Eyebrows"
I was in 8th-9th grade in 1997. Such nostalgia vibes! Love outfit 2!!
Cargo pants and butterfly clips are definitely back in!! 2023 came through 😆
Love this, but oh my lord... I was finishing high school in '97!!! I now officially feel ancient!
(And yes, I wore ALL of those!!!!!)
Vicki Breese me too!
Me three! ;)
The bonus outfit was definitely on point for teens in 97
I agree! But I feel like 97 was more puka shells. The tattoo necklaces were more 99-2000 (at least where I grew up). Dress though- spot on!
I was 14 in 1997 and dressed EXACTLY like in the 2nd outfit. Thanks for the nostalgia:)
In my opinion... You are enlightening young millennials on long forgotten fashion trends and visually demonstrating it so they don't doze off into the void that is their minds.
Outstanding video Safiy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Excuse you, we millenials never forgot these trends, it's why they're resurging now. People will pry our butterfly clips from our cold dead hands.
what do you mean TWENTY YEARS AGO
I remember the 90's weird obsession with Chinese dragons. There was no escape. Omg I can finally say I remember stuff from TWENTY YEARS AGO
deadlyNightshade789 when she went twenty years ago i had to pause the video to get over the confusion. then i remembered i was born in 1997 and turn twenty in less than a month and thought 'yeah, checks out'
I still think it's 2008 so I was really confused when she said 20 years ago.
I was born in 1997. I am 20
I'm 20 , born in 1997 the pictures of my parents as teenagers are pretty hilarious for sure.
Please do a video on the clothing of Rachel, Phoebe and Monica
hell yes!
Yasss
Neha Biswas YES
I haven't seen friends so all i think of is ddlc
Phoebeeee yessssss. She was such a blend of 60s-80s
I think this year many people want to wear vintage fashion or wearing 90's fashion. I agree 90's fashion is great. Jennifer Anniston (Rachel Green) is also my inspiration for my clothes that I wear. Many people also use VHS, Vaporwave, Vintage Cam for their Instagram feed. I love how fashion repeats itself and many people especially in my generation they all seem to love everything about 90's.
Those were all so accurate- usually when people do these they are a bit off! Great work! 💚
