Five style lessons from the Spice Girls

To the pleasure of fans, the Spice Girls got back together over the weekend to celebrate Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday.

Victoria, Geri Horner, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, and Melanie Brown are among the five women dancing in the happy video that David Beckham posted to Instagram. It's obvious that the world has missed seeing the legendary female group perform together, reported The Irish News. 

Given that spice style dominated popular culture in the 1990s and the first part of the 2000s, it makes sense that it has endured.

There are several examples of the group's iconic looks that are still quite fashionable today, even though the Union Jack gowns and tiny hemlines that defined the group a few decades ago aren't as popular.

It's no secret that black clothing never goes out of style, but Victoria Beckham is one of the best examples of how elegant a simple black dress can be.

Her characteristic look is appropriate for every season and event, and we have no doubt that it will remain unchanged in another 20 years. This is your cue to invest if you don't already own the ideal LBD in your wardrobe. 

Many years before the athleisure movement really took hold, Sporty Spice is credited with creating it in large part. Fashion enthusiasts began adopting more casual capsule wardrobes as a result of her stylish, Y2K-inspired outfits, and her look is making a reappearance in the 2020s trend cycle.

Remember Mel C's stylish trainer look the next time you're deciding between heels and flats, and don't be scared to embrace comfort.

Throughout the 1990s, Scary Spice was well-known for her affinity for leopard print, dressing in a variety of ways to rock the style.

Mel B's interpretation of the occasionally gaudy design was always maximalist and statement-making, but her look demonstrated that when done well, the print can look quite stylish. With designers like Wales Bonner and celebs like Dua Lipa and Rosamund Pike now slaying the trend, it's returning in a big way for 2024.

The Spice Girls, who never shied away from a statement outfit, have shown us that sometimes more really can equal more.

Even if "quiet luxury" and minimalism have been popular lately, an unapologetically vibrant ensemble will always draw attention and show off your sense of taste. Don't be afraid to wear your favorite outfits for an evening out with friends or a special occasion because you could be overdressed; instead, embrace it!

The Spice Girls may have taught us more than anything else about individualism. Establishing your own sense of style might make you feel good about yourself and more at ease, but you should never let what people around you or your friends wear dictate how you should dress. Remain true to your inner self, even if others closest to you choose a completely different path.

The girl group merely serves to highlight how effectively disparate aesthetic sensibilities may meld together./BGNES
