With Noel and Liam set to return, the style they popularised in the 1990s is back in the spotlight – but what will the Insta-fashion-conscious Gen Z make of it all?

The great Oasis comeback doesn’t start until summer 2025 but model and influencer Thomas Meacock – a 23-year-old who delights his 700,000 followers with “blokecore” outfits and a 90s feathered hair style – already knows what he’s going to wear. “Straight black or indigo jeans, a sage Oakley parka, any old Adidas trainers and my mum’s Ray-Ban wraparound sunnies.” Basically, he says, he wants to stay “as close to Liam Gallagher from the D’You Know What I Mean? music video as possible”.

Meacock is not the only twentysomething thinking about his outfit and studying the fashions of the mid-1990s. The announcement of an Oasis reunion means Britpop style and its myriad references – from bucket hats and parkas to 1970s suiting – is being looked at again. Apparently, searches for “Oasis band” were up 105% on Pinterest the week the tour was announced.
