Mall Photos That Could Only Be from the 1990s
Shopping malls in the 1990s were brightly colored, with a different aesthetic than what we see today. They were places where families and groups of young people would come to stroll, browse shops, enjoy a meal, and even go to the movies.
In the following images, you can see the fashion of the 1990s in malls, with women wearing long pants and patterned t-shirts, and adults in jeans and colorful dresses.
The decor of shopping malls back then included artificial plants, polished floors that resembled an ice rink, and water fountains where people tossed coins.
There were also video game arcades where teenagers hung out, and music stores where people checked out the latest music of the 1990s.
