Fashion Flashback: Saved by the Bell
With school starting and early morning alarms ringing for college students everywhere, we thought it was high time for an update to our previous post on fashion inspired by popular teen sitcom show Saved by the Bell, currently streaming on Netflix Instant!
Chances are, if you grew up in the early nineties, you probably watched Saved by the Bell every day after school. I mean, how could you not? This show had it all: zany high school scenarios, trendy ’90s fashion, and Mario Lopez in his teen heartthrob days!
For those who somehow missed out on this show, here’s the basic premise: a group of six friends go through a wide array of comedic situations at fictional Bayside High, run by authoritative figure Principal Belding. Despite differences in personality and background, they all come to be really close-knit through their wacky adventures and relatable high school trials. Basically, it’s Friends for a younger crowd.
Though Saved by the Bell at times touched on some serious themes—like driving under the influence and environmental awareness—it was mostly lighthearted and fun, as befitting an after-school special. Even better, it boasts one of the better sitcom wardrobes I’ve ever seen, especially from the female cast of the show.
If you’re looking to be inspired by the show’s fabulous leading ladies, you’re in the right place! Keep reading for three casually cool ensemble looks from Saved by the Bell.

She was the ultimate teenage dream, and Zack (her love interest and later, gasp, husband) certainly never let you forget it. While a bit scatterbrained at times, Kelly was a person you could always count on for advice, especially if you wanted some of her trademark head cheerleader pep!
