Everyone is talking about '90s fashion lately. Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's expertly tailored looks took over our screens in FX's Love Story. Girls in New York have suddenly started dressing like Kurt Cobain in skatepark-ready slouchy finds. For those looking to land in that gray area with their new-season outfits, I offer Gap's new spring collection as a good place to start.

The new range includes a bit of everything, and it does it all at an expert level. There are capris next to baggier denim culottes and low-slung Bermuda shorts. Silky bandanas and sundresses sit alongside borrowed-from-the-boys rugby tees and oversized denim overalls. Even the color palette speaks to this mix, with splashes of butter yellow, red, and hot pink in a sea of white, mushroom taupe-gray, and black.

Ahead, I rounded up the most worth-it finds from the retailer, all of which retail for less than $150. There's bound to be something on this list for you, no matter which look you're going for.
