Fashion Inspiration: Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time” Music Video
With more than 150 million views on YouTube, chances are you’ve seen Britney Spears’ (arguably) most iconic music video.
Yes, that’s right, today we’re throwing it back to the bubblegum pop hit that defined many of our childhoods: “…Baby One More Time”.
Britney Spears – …Baby One More Time (Official Video)
You may ask, “Why, Carly? How is Britney’s 1998 breakout single relevant to my style now, in 2015?”
Excellent question.
With the insane ’90s fashion revival that has taken this year by storm, many of Brit’s outfits from way-back-when can spark some serious current-day trend inspiration. And, believe it or not, it can be wearable… as long as we forgo the pink feather scrunchies and body glitter.

1. My Loneliness Is Killing Me
This schoolgirl outfit is considered to be Britney’s most iconic ever (in fact, it is on display in Las Vegas). If we tone it down just a tad, it becomes the perfect look for Tuesday morning’s Econ lecture.
Cardigan // Blouse // Skirt // Pumps // Sneakers // Lipstick
Once you untie the blouse, take out the fluffy pink pigtail holders, and halt all ’90s dance moves, Ms. Spears’ schoolgirl outfit becomes much more “schoolwoman”.
Ditch the knee-high socks and go with classic black pumps, or equally timeless white sneakers. Of course, we wouldn’t want to lose all semblance of the video, because how boring would that be?! So, complete the look with a trendy swipe of brown lipstick.
2. I Must Confess….
Okay, okay, half the reason I chose this shot from the video is because Britney’s sporting an incredibly perfect “derp” face. But I digress…
Britney’s bubblegum pink sports bra reminds me of another pop artist’s more recently released video. Brights are definitely back “in” when it comes to workout gear, and who doesn’t love a little pick-me-up during a gym session?
